Southampton vs West Ham United Tickets

When the Premier League fixture list produces the Southampton vs West Ham United spectacle at the St. Mary’s Stadium, a real buzz of excitement is produced as fans have the desire to see their side get the best over one that they are relatively equal to. The game has all the promise of providing fans with an entertaining match, as the two sides harbour similar aims and ambitions each season and continue to fight in the same areas of the table.

The Saints are a football club that many would now associate with playing their football in the Premier League on a regular basis. Despite having spent several years out of the division in the past, they have managed to return to their best level and continue to strive for improvement in the league each year, with men like Danny Ings and Ralph Hasenhuttl having played a role in the past in helping them to realise some of their ambition and potential.

West Ham United are very similar to Southampton, whereby they have floated between leagues at one point in time, but have since demonstrated that they do belong in the Premier League and are competing with some of the very best sides in the English game. The Irons or Hammers, as they are affectionately known, have recently started to invest in their club a lot more and have started to begin to attempt to lay down the groundworks to become a club that can achieve the ambitious aims and goals they set for themselves each season.

Playing their home games at St. Mary’s Stadium, Southampton can boast of having attendances as large as 32,505. One of the newest venues in the league, the stadium can provide a great atmosphere for fans who attend every game, especially when it is two sides with the passionate fanbases that the Saints and West Ham United can boast they have.

Previous meetings between the two outfits have been extremely close, although that is to be expected when the match is between two similarly levelled sides. Results have included 0-1, 1-2, 3-1 and 1-3 in the past, suggesting that almost anything can happen on the pitch and that the game is hardly a formality when the fixture list is produced, despite West Ham United appearing to have the better recent record.

As such, Southampton versus West Ham United has all the prospects of providing fans with a highly entertaining match-up when the two sides square off against each other at the St. Mary’s Stadium. With both sides evenly matched and the predictability element of the encounter non-existent, the St. Mary’s Stadium will be a lively venue that has two passionate sets of fans urging their team on to get all three points.
