Leicester City vs Southampton Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 20th August 2022
Leicester City take on Southampton for a match in the Premier League this coming Saturday at King Power Stadium. It was an enormously entertaining 4-1 match, when these two sides last played each other. A similar feast of goals would go down well this coming Saturday.
They are not exactly up to a dream opening on the new season as Leicester City have had to settle for a single point so far in the Premier League. Southampton surely would have hoped for more than a single point so far in the Premier League. They will be feeling the pressure of securing a first win of the season.
The last time Leicester City played Southampton, they booked three points to their account and look well primed to secure another win on Saturday.
Leicester City scored an average of two goals in ten matches or a total of 20 while allowing 15 goals against. This is an average of 1.5 goals against per match with two clean sheets along the way.
Southampton average 0.9 goals a game in their last ten outing, scoring a total of nine goals. They conceded an average of 2.7 per game, for a total of 27 goals, whilst keeping their opponents from scoring once.
Leicester City vs Southampton Prediction
Leicester City collected four points from their last three matches, starting with a 4-1 win against Southampton. It was followed by a 2-2 draw with Brentford and a 4-2 defeat against Arsenal. In their last six Premier League home matches, Leicester City have three wins, while they've drawn two and lost one. They scored 12 and conceded six goals.
In a season where everything runs absolutely smoothly Leicester City might be able to surprise. However, a finish inside the top half of the Premier League looks the most realistic scenario.
In their previous three games, Southampton lost 4-1 and 4-1 against Leicester and Tottenham, respectively, before drawing 2-2 with Leeds. Southampton are winless in their last six away games in the Premier League, in which they drew two and lost four. They conceded 16 goals while scoring five themselves.
Southampton naturally hope for a a top half position come reckoning day next spring, but experts foresee a tough battle ahead in the lower regions of the Premier League.
The crowd usually get a very entertaining encounter, when Leicester City face Southampton, and we see no reason for this to end this coming Saturday. The value bet lies with goals.
