Southampton vs Leicester Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Kennedy Kechula | in Premier League Predictions
Two newly promoted sides face off this weekend in the Premier League as Southampton plays host to Leicester City on Saturday. Both sides are struggling on their returns to the topflight, with the Saints deep in the relegation zone and Leicester City just three points out. Unsurprisingly, bookies’ predictions favor the Foxes to outwit the Saints at the St. Mary’s Stadium.
While none of the promoted sides have offered anything extraordinary, Southampton have been spectacular in their struggles. They have the lowest scoring returns in the league and come here on the joint most defeats. Four teams are yet to register a win in the league this season and Southampton are in that category.
While the hosts seek a formula to return to winning ways, this is a fixture Leicester City will relish. Fresh from the international break to face a side they beat home and away last season, it should excite the visitors.

Southampton - Leicester: Form Analysis
Southampton will be looking to rise from the relegation zone when they return home after two away matches. The last time they played at home, they got to bag their first point of the season in a 1-1 draw with another promoted side, Ipswich Town.
They would go on to suffer a pair of 3-1 defeats in back-to-back away losses. The latest of them was at Arsenal, as for the second time in three matches, they scored first but failed to win. Against the Gunners, they only led for three minutes before their defence gave in.
It was a stark depiction of their season, as Southampton have now conceded three goals four times in the last five league matches. The Saints will still be positive coming into this game; their last Premier League victory was at home against this same opponent.
Leicester City have two straight wins against Southampton.
Leicester City have beaten Southampton twice since that loss in March 2023.
In their two meetings in the Championship last season, the Foxes scored nine times as they sealed a double. Coming into this match, they’ve looked like the stronger of the three promoted sides.
Leicester will be seeking a second straight win, having bagged their first in the league two weeks ago.
The timing of the international break must have pained Steve Cooper, whose side has just one loss in five matches. That defeat was a painful one too, as they seemed to be holding Arsenal to a 2-2 draw before The Gunners scored two late ones.
In their never-give-up attitude, Leicester turned on the style, to beat Bournemouth before the break.

Southampton & Leicester Squad Analysis
The two-week break has come with some blessing for the Saints, as concerns their injury list. Two players originally in that list will be struck off and could feature against Leicester.
Kamaldeen Sulemana and Will Smallbone who were sidelined with ankle and thigh injuries respectively, are back.
This match, however, comes too soon for Gavin Bazunu, who has been listed among the long-term absentees. Ross Stewart is also unavailable after picking an injury in the loss to Arsenal. Meanwhile, Jack Stephens is suspended.
Jamie Vardy has a good record against Southampton and will hope to extend it here.
At Leicester City the probable returnee after the international break could be Jannik Vestergaard. The former Southampton man has been out since August.
There isn’t much good news on the injuries front with Patson Daka and Jakub Stolarczyk still out with ankle injuries. Hamza Choudhury is also out, with a shoulder injury.
The availability of Jamie Vardy against Southampton is always a thing to rejoice for Leicester fans. He has eight goals and four assists in this fixture.

Leicester City have in recent weeks shown positive signs as far as rising up the league standings is concerned. The international break interrupted their flow and they will be favorites to pick up after the two-week rest.
With just one defeat in their last five matches, their position as the best performing among the promoted is enhanced. Coupled with their recent form against Southampton, the Foxes will be clear favorites here. Our prediction for Southampton v Leicester City is for Leicester City to win.
Southampton vs Leicester - Other Interesting Predictions
Both teams to score
In their last outing, Leicester City registered their third clean sheet in nine matches this season. That was, however, their first in the Premier League. They’ve scored in all of their seven league matches so far and can only be concerned at their defensive failings.
Southampton’s attack has been picking up lately, and they scored in all their last three league matches. Both teams scored in four of Southampton’s last five league matches. In this regard, we will be backing both teams to score, as our second prediction.
