Here at BetVictor News, we’ll be following the latest Southampton stats throughout 2026/27 as the Saints make another attempt to get back to the Premier League.
Last season changed dramatically once Tonda Eckert took charge. Southampton had been hovering near the wrong end of the Championship under Will Still, yet eventually finished fourth with 80 points. They won 22 of their 46 league games, scored 82 goals and conceded 56, ending the regular season with a 19-match unbeaten run.
That would normally have provided plenty of momentum for another promotion push. Instead, Southampton were expelled from the play-offs after admitting breaches relating to observing opponents’ training sessions, despite having beaten Middlesbrough in the semi-final. The punishment also included a four-point deduction for 2026/27, so the league table needs a little extra context when judging their progress this season.
There was still plenty in the football itself to encourage Saints supporters. Eckert turned an inconsistent side into one capable of scoring freely and going months without a Championship defeat, while Southampton also reached the FA Cup semi-finals.
That makes the challenge fairly clear now. Southampton need to overcome the early points handicap while reproducing the form that carried them into last season’s top four. The distance to the play-off and automatic promotion places should therefore be particularly useful numbers to watch.
