Southampton vs Leicester Match Prediction

In four of the last five head-to-head matches of Southampton in the championship, more than one goal has been scored in the first half.

The Saints lost again in the last round. This time, Ralf Hasenhuettl's charges lost 1:2 to Tottenham on the road. This is the third in a row Southampton’s fiasco and the second in the national championship, with all three failures Soton suffered away. Before being defeated by Spurs, the Saints lost to West Bromwich (0:3), while in the FA Cup semi-finals they lost to their future rival Leicester (0:1) and were left out of the tournament.

Thus, leaving the FA Cup finally robbed Southampton of their motivation for the remainder of the season. In the Premier League standings, Ralf Hasenhuettl's men now occupy 15th place. The team has currently 36 points and three more points may well be enough to maintain a residence permit. "Soton" is now nine points ahead of the group of outsiders and at the same time played one less game.

As for home matches, in the last of them Southampton managed to beat Burnley with a score of 3:2. Thus, the team of Ralph Hasenhuettl interrupted an unsuccessful streak without victories in the championship, which lasted for six matches in a row, having five defeats and one draw. Overall, Southampton is 12th in the Premier League in terms of home play. Out of 15 home games, Soton won six, defeated seven and drew twice.

Due to injuries, midfielders Oriol Romeu and William Smallbone, forward Michael Obafemi will not be able to play in this match. Questionable are Ryan Bertrand and Danny Ings.

Leicester

After defeating Southampton in the National Cup, the Foxes have played two successful matches in the Premier League. Brendan Rogers' team alternately beat West Bromwich with a score of 3:0 and Crystal Palace with a score of 2:1.

Thanks to these two victories, the Leicestershire team increased the lead over their pursuers to four points and from fifth position to seven points. Leicester continues to occupy third place in the league standings. The team has good chances to take not only one of the sets of medals, but also a ticket to the Champions League.

One of the main trump cards in the game of the current Leicester is the attack. At the moment, the "foxes" have already sent 60 goals to the opponents' goal. Only Manchester, who occupy the first two steps in the Premier League table, scored more goals.

On the road, Brendan Rogers' charges are one of the best teams. In 16 away matches of the championship, the Foxes achieved ten victories, drew four times and lost twice. This is now the third indicator in the current championship.

Leicester will have injured midfielder Harvey Barnes and two defenders James Justin and Wes Morgan. So, what is the soccer bet prediction for today?
