Leicester City VS Southampton Match Prediction

Southampton’s 2-1 win when they last faced Leicester at the King Power Stadium was all the more remarkable because of what preceded it – namely Leicester’s 9-0 win at St Mary’s the previous October. Southampton have won each of their last two matches at the King Power 2-1, with Stuart Armstrong and Danny Ings scoring in last year’s fixture after Denis Praet had struck first for Leicester. Here are the results of their last five matches:

Jan 11, 2020: Leicester City 1-2 Southampton

Correct score prediction: Leicester City 2-1 Southampton

Leicester City Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-2-3-1

Southampton Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-4-2

Southampton's rebuilding under Ralph Hassenhuttl is showcased well by this fixture - the Foxes having scored nine at St Mary's last season at the nadir of the Saints' season. They have bounced back so well, but they go into this game as outsiders. Missing Danny Ings up front, they could find the gap to the top four opens up this weekend.

Leicester City's ten wins so far this season is bettered only by table-topping Manchester United.
