Crystal Palace vs Southampton highlights (0-1)

Losing their last two Premier League matches, Southampton's European dream is under serious threat especially if they can't get things right again this Saturday, March 8 when they face up against struggling Crystal Palace side. The visitor will surely target all three points on the weekend battle as it's a tie that they can obviously win on paper, so they should really push for that maximum result to maintain that slight hope in grabbing that European spot by the end of current season.

Palace themselves will also push for that three points, not only because they're playing in front of their home crowd, but also due to the fact that they're still far from securing themselves from potential relegation trouble by the end of season. Sitting at 16th place in current league standings, they're only three points ahead of that final bottom three place, which is currently being occupied by Sunderland. With that kind of situation, the Eagles can't really afford picking up any negative result as it could easily put them in that relegation spot once again.

Palace are finding themselves in a really difficult situation after this weekend as they suffered a disappointing home defeat over their visitor, Southampton. It was a pretty tight fixture with both teams looking really eager in grabbing maximum points but it was The Saints that came away with all three points thanks to a solitary strike from Jay Rodriguez on 37 minutes, which lasted until the final whistle was blown.

Crystal Palace vs Southampton . Score: 0-1.
