Southampton VS Leicester City Match Prediction

The two sides met less than a fortnight ago at Wembley in the FA Cup Semi-Final with a solitary goal from Kelechi Iheanacho the difference. This was the second time they had played this year with the Foxes also coming out on top at the King Power Stadium, goals from James Maddison and Harvey Barnes securing a 2-0 win. After 93 games, there is not much to choose between them with Southampton holding a 34-31 lead and 28 draws.

Southampton vs Leicester City Prediction

Remarkably, this will be only Southampton’s fourth home game from their last sixteen competitive fixtures. This has coincided with them falling to the bottom of the Premier League form table as they have taken only seven points from their last fifteen games. In the same period, Leicester City have racked up thirty points and we expect their superiority to show in the result.

Correct score prediction: Southampton 1-3 Leicester City

Leicester City Predicted Starting Line-up

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

Southampton will relish the chance to play ahead of their relegation threatened rivals and put a point or three on the board then relax for the rest of the weekend. However, Leicester City are a very tough proposition this season and are particularly adept at picking off sides on the counter attack with the pace of attackers Kelechi Iheanacho and Jamie Vardy. The Saints won their last home Premier League game 3-2 against Burnley, with the Foxes going down by the same scoreline to West Ham United in their last away fixture.

Kelechi Iheanacho has scored 14 goals in his last 14 appearances for Leicester City
