Southampton vs Leicester Prediction

Southampton Form

Southampton are enjoying their football currently with three wins on the bounce, and it began with a 0-2 win against Stoke. They went on to beat Watford by 1-0, before also getting the better of Leicester in a 3-4 victory. Southampton won four of their past six matches on home soil in the FA Cup, where they also lost twice but drew none. They scored seven goals and conceded four times.

Leicester Form

Leicester were unable to pick up a single good result in their last three matches, as they were first beaten 0-2 by Charlton. Next up, Birmingham won 2-1, before losing 3-4 against Southampton. Leicester recorded a very decent outcome of four wins from six away matches in the FA Cup, in which they banged in ten goals, whilst conceding eight. They recorded no draws but in stead suffered defeat twice.

Southampton have built up a nice momentum, and we doubt Leicester are capable of getting in the way of the home side at St. Mary's Stadium, as we aim for the home win.
