Southampton Preview – Will the Saints strike back with a home win?

Southampton were on a good four-game unbeaten run before their recent trip to Carrow Road, winning three and drawing one. However, they were narrowly beaten at Norwich City. The Saints followed that up with a 4-0 loss to Liverpool at Anfield last weekend.

Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men have had their issues on the road, but Southampton have been tough to beat at St Mary’s this season. In fact, only Wolverhampton Wanderers have won on their patch. The Saints have taken seven points from their previous three at home, beating Leeds United and Aston Villa and drawing with Burnley.

Our betting prediction:
Leicester to keep a clean sheet
3/1

(odds taken 1008 GMT, Tuesday 30 November)

 
Southampton could do with the points after two tough away trips. The bookies are offering 11/8 for the home win.

Leicester City Preview – Can the Foxes build on Watford win?

Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester City have had a patchy season so far. The Foxes, who finished fifth last term, have picked up just five wins from their opening 13 league fixtures, losing five times along the way.

After taking just one point from a possible nine, the Midlands club bounced back with a much-needed three points last weekend. Goals from Jamie Vardy (2), James Maddison and Ademola Lookman earned City a 4-2 win over Claudio Ranieri’s Watford at the King Power Stadium.

Southampton vs Leicester City Betting Advice

These two sides know each other well, meeting three times in 2021 already. Back in January, James Maddison and Harvey Barnes netted in a 2-0 home league win for Leicester.

They also met in an FA Cup semi-final at Wembley Stadium in April, with Kelechi Iheanacho scoring the only goal of the game. 12 days later, the teams drew 1-1 at St Mary’s in the Premier League.

Leicester have a good recent record in this fixture. In October 2019, City famously beat the Saints 9-0 at St Mary’s. A few months later, though, Southampton won 2-1 at the King Power.

 

Key Facts – Southampton vs Leicester City Betting Tip

  • Southampton have lost just one home game this term
  • Leicester are unbeaten in four away league and cup matches
  • just over two years ago, the Foxes won 9-0 at St Mary’s

 

Leicester have blown hot and cold this season, but the win over Watford at the weekend was a step in the right direction. Southampton are a tough nut to crack at St Mary’s, but we fancy the Foxes to edge it. Have a punt on the away win and under 2.5 goals at the top odds of 6/1.

Jamie Vardy has rolled back the years with some stunning displays of late. Only Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah has scored more than Vardy’s nine in the Premier League so far this term. Leicester’s No. 9 is priced at 5/1 to open the scoring in this one.
