Two sides that are still searching for their first win in the Premier League this season will collide on the south coast this Saturday. Southampton put in a spirited display in their opening match of the campaign, but they were still beaten by the ten-men of Newcastle. Nottingham Forest could only play out a draw against Bournemouth in their opening match.

Forest have a better away record against Southampton than they do against any other team in the Premier League. The East Midlands side also come into this round of matches after winning their previous two against newly promoted sides. That is as many wins as they had recorded in their previous 19 attempts in the top-flight.
Southampton’s away record could be worth extra consideration this weekend, as the Saints have won just two of their last 21 at St Mary’s in the Premier League. Meanwhile, Forest come into this weekend chasing a third successive away win in the competition after beating Burnley and Nottingham Forest at the end of the previous campaign.
Southampton vs Nottingham Forest Picks
