Our 3 Predictions for Southampton vs Leicester City

• 1st Prediction : Southampton To Win – 11/10
• 2nd Prediction : Both Teams To Score – 8/11
• 3rd Prediction : Over 2.5 Goals Scored – 9/10

First Prediction For Southampton vs Leicester City – Southampton To Win – 11/10

Three straight wins have got the Southampton home faithful thinking that maybe the page has been turned on what has been a very painful start to this season. Another win here and they really could start to think they are on the right track. Overall the home form has not been the greatest with just 2 wins from 7, but the last home match was a 3-1 win over Sheffield Wednesday before going to Charlton Athletic this past weekend and winning 5-1. Leicester City arrive on the back of 2 straight wins, and away from home they have a an even split of 3 wins, draws, and losses. The odds are slightly tipped in the home teams favour largely on the big win they had on Saturday. 

Second Prediction For Southampton vs Leicester City – Both Teams To Score – Yes – 8/11

Given the fact that the Saints have scored 10 goals in 3 games, all wins, shows that the home side here are in a rich vein of goal scoring form, and that figure has pushed their overall total up to 23 in their 16 Championship games. They have a total of 22 conceded which levels out their scoring exploits, and shows their vulnerability in defence. Leicester City will be confident of scoring in this game, even if it is in defeat, as they have 11 in 8 away trips, and 20 overall. Their defence is not as porous as the host in this match, but with 17 let in, they may have trouble keeping a fired up Saints team at bay. 

Third Prediction For Southampton vs Leicester City – Over 2.5 Goals Scored – 9/10

Having seen that both are very capable of scoring, and also conceding, it will be a case of how many. The form shown by Southampton of late, 12 in the last 6, averaging 2 per game, shows they are capable of keeping this up in this match. The Foxes away from home have scored 11 and conceded 10. This is over a goal per game average, and there is not enough evidence to support that this will change against the Saints. There have been 3 goals in each of the last 2 Leicester games, and the Saints have 13 goals in their last 3 games.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results and Head to Head

Tonda Eckert has rejuvenated a Southampton side that was bereft of ideas. They have gone into a spin of 3 wins on the bounce, and the climb up the table has begun. The team has never been completely blown away in matches, but have not been able to gain wins. Until now. The goals are flowing too, and they shook Charlton with 4 goals in 8 minutes, in a 5-1 win, the latest of their trio of wins. Brazilian Leo Scienza is starting to show his true colours and ticking things over up front, the 27 year old has 2 goals in 8 starts. He is supported by young Irish striker Finn Azaz, who has 3 goals and an assist. In defence Taylor Harding-Bell is helping shore up what was a very leaky line, and Jack Stephens is also showing decent form. It is Ryan Manning that is the real one to watch, the defensive midfielder has 3 goals and is one of the first names on the team sheet each week. 

Leicester City have gained 2 vital wins in their last couple of games, and this has put them back on track after a few slip ups. Marti Cifuentes will demand more form his side, as they try to get back into the playoff positions in the coming weeks, and stay there during the busy festive period of games. This is a big test on the road and a win here will really put other teams on notice. To do so all players will have to be at their best. Abdul Fatawa is leading all scorers for the Foxes, 3 goals so far, but that will not be seen as enough, and maybe suggests why they are hovering in mid-table. Harry Winks will want to do more from midfield, and Oliver Skipp needs to be better too. At the back Luke Thomas has arguably been the best player this season, and is now having help from Belgian Wout Faes.
