Betting on Southampton F.C.
In its most recent Premier League match, Southampton lost 1-0 to Leeds thanks to a Héctor Junior Firpo goal in the 77th minute. In that game, the Saints were totally lost. Leeds generated play, and it finally paid off in a move where Gavin Bazunu was complicit.
At league level, the team managed by Ruben Selles continues to occupy the last position in the Premier League standings with 18 points attained in its 5 wins, 3 draws and 16 defeats.
For this new Southampton vs Leicester clash, Sotom is expected to bounce back on its feet in front of its fanbase, considering that the last time it won at home in the Premier League was on August 30, 2022, against Chelsea. From then on, the team has not been able to take all three points playing at home. Also, the team was knocked out of the FA Cup by Grimsby Town.
Possible lineup (4-4-2): Gavin Bazunu; Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Jan Bednarek, Armel Bella-Kotchap, Romain Perraud; Adam Armstrong, James Ward-Prowse, Roméo Lavia, Mohamed Elyounoussi; Kamaldeen Sulemana, Paul Onuachu.
Betting on Leicester City
Leicester currently occupies the 14th place in the Premier League standings and, so far this season, Brendan Rodgers’ side has won seven matches, drawn three and lost 14.
In the last five rounds, the Foxes have managed to attain only two wins and will surely come into the Southampton vs Leicester match looking to stay alive in the competition, considering that in the last FA Cup match against Blackburn Rovers they were eliminated. In the team’s most recent Premier League match, the Blues lost 1-0 to Arsenal.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Danny Ward; Timothy Castagne, Harry Souttar, Wout Faes, Victor Kristiansen; Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Wilfred Ndidi, Dennis Praet; Tetê, Kelechi Iheanacho, Harvey Barnes.
JefeBet Prediction
Taking into account its last results, we believe that in this Southampton vs Leicester the visiting team will take the three points.
The odds in this case favor Leicester, who has lost the least amount of games, although its numbers are not far behind Southampton. Still, the Foxes have played memorable matches against the teams like Tottenham and Aston Villa, scoring 4 goals in each of those matches.
Prediction: Leicester wins by a score of 1-0.
