Leicester City vs Southampton Preview and Team News

Leicester City Team News

Relegation has already been confirmed for Leicester City, meaning the best that they can achieve this term is a 17th-place finish. Jamie Vardy’s farewell party will be in full swing with just a few home matches remaining for the club. However, they’ll come into this weekend after losing four of their previous five.

Leicester have only won 12% of their home encounters this season, and have scored an average of 0.65 goals per 90 from an xG of 1.17. Meanwhile, they have conceded around two goals per game with an xGA of 1.77.

Bobby Reid has been ruled out for a few weeks, while Stephy Mavididi, Harry Souttar, and Abdul Fatawu will all be unavailable for the remainder of the season.

The club have won just 6% of their matches away from home, and have only scored an average of 0.76 goals per 90 from an xG of 1.12. Defensively, they’ve battled throughout the campaign, allowing 2.35 efforts per game with an xGA of 1.95.

There are no fresh injury concerns. Just Juan Larios, Ryan Fraser, and Charlie Taylor are sidelined.

Leicester City vs Southampton Prediction 

• Pick: Leicester City to win
• Odds: 2.26 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Leicester City 2-1 Southampton

Leicester City and Southampton will go down as two of the worst teams to play in this Premier League. Therefore, it’ll be tricky to separate the sides when making a prediction for Saturday. 

The narrow edge is for the hosts to give their home fans something to cheer about. Leicester have won their last three league meetings against Southampton, which included a 3-2 victory in the reverse clash. 

The home squad are also unbeaten in four of their previous five home games against the visitors. 

Leicester City vs Southampton Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Over 2.5 Goals 
• Odds: 1.74 (22Bet)

Everything points to a high-scoring affair this weekend. Leicester’s matches have seen around 3.03 goals per 90 so far. Southampton’s games have normalised a total of 3.09 nets per fixture. 

Four of the last five PL meetings between Leicester and Southampton have seen over 2.5 goals scored. Furthermore, there could be value in both sides finding the net, as this has been a winning selection in five of the last six Premier League head-to-head events.
