Championship
Last season, Southampton and Leicester played in the Premier League. "The Saints" were stronger in both matches, winning 2-1 and 1-0. These teams have played each other 98 times. Southampton has 36 wins, while Leicester has 31 wins. In their last three meetings at home, Southampton has not lost to Leicester, with 2 draws and 1 victory.
Southampton
Southampton is clearly aiming to return to the Premier League and is having a decent start to the season. Russell Martin’s team is currently in seventh place in the table and is only just behind the playoff zone due to additional statistics. Their 0-5 loss to Sunderland in the last round was their first of the season.
Leicester City
Leicester also has the task of returning to the Premier League and is putting in maximum effort to achieve that goal. Enzo Maresca’s team was undefeated until the last round but surprisingly lost 0-1 to Hull at home. This mistake has so far prevented the Foxes from rising above third place in the table.
Prediction
Southampton will be highly motivated after the devastating 0-5 loss to Sunderland in the last round and will be focused on securing a home victory. Six goals in two home matches by the "Saints" suggest that Leicester could have problems in defense, but at the same time, the "Foxes" also have a strong attack, so both teams scoring is almost inevitable. We believe that there will be goals in the match. Our prediction is both teams to score. This outcome is offered with odds of 1.65. Southampton will be highly motivated, facing one of their main competitors in the promotion race, and they need to redeem themselves after the 0-5 loss to Sunderland. In their last three home matches, the "Saints" have not lost to the "Foxes," and considering their performance against Leicester last season, it makes sense to give preference to the hosts.
