It has been a great start to the season for Leiester City and they find themselves up in 3rd place in the table. They can go second with a win at St Mary’s before Liverpool play this weekend.

Southampton are at the opposite end of the table, down in 17th place. Their last home match was a 4-1 defeat to Chelsea and they’ll be hoping to avoid another hammering on the Friday Night Football.

Southampton vs Leicester Preview

The Saints are struggling down in 17th place in the Premier League, but did get a decent point at Wolves last weekend. That was their first points in four matches having lost to AFC Bournemouth, Tottenham and Chelsea before the international break. Goalscoring always seems to be a problem for the Saints but they have found the net in their last eight matches in the top flight. They still struggle to score a lot of goals but in Danny Ings, they have a decent central striker leading their line.

Leicester City are flying high in third place and Brendan Rodgers will be delighted with the start his side have made to the season. Their hard fought 2-1 win over Burnley last weekend saw them bounce back after an unfortunate defeat at Anfield before the break, where the home side got a dubious penalty in injury time. Jamie Vardy has been amongst the goals already this season and in James Maddison they have one of the best creative players in the top flight. It is exciting to be a Leicester fan at this time and they’ll expect another victory on Friday night.

 

Southampton vs Leicester Betting Tip – Bank on both teams to score

[inline_advert ad=”1″]

There looks certain to be goals in this match and looking at the both teams to score stats, it is easy to see why. Southampton have scored in their last eight Premier League fixtures now, and in their last four matches, both teams have got on the scoresheet.

Leicester won 2-1 in their last fixture, landing a winning both teams to score tip, their previous result was also a 2-1 result and away from home they’ve seen both teams score in three of their last four fixtures. BTTS looks a great bet in this match and goes down as the bet of the day for the Premier League.

 

Southampton vs Leicester Anytime Goalscorer Tip and Odds

Jamie Vardy is the favourite to score in this match and it isn’t hard to see why. He has already got six Premier League goals to his name this season and with goals predicted in this match, Vardy might be a good betting tip to get another one here.

From a Southampton point of view, Danny Ings looks a fair price at odds of 21/10 with bet365. He has got four Premier League goals to his name already and he’s scored in Southampton’s last three Premier League matches as well as getting two in the League Cup game at Portsmouth. At the prices, the second Southampton vs Leicester prediction for this Friday night fixture is going to be Danny Ings to score at any time.

 

Who will win? Southampton or Leicester?

[inline_advert ad=”3″]

Leicester are favourites to win this match and it’s not hard to see why, however, Southampton will want to right the wrongs of their 4-1 defeat to Chelsea in their last home match and manager Ralph Hasenhüttl will expect a much better performance. Even though we are predicting Southampton will get on the scoresheet against Leicester, a Leicester win still looks the most likely outcome.

Rodgers’ side have had a tough run of away fixtures early in the season but they did beat Sheffield United 2-1 at Bramall Lane. Their other matches have been the narrow defeat at Liverpool, a 1-0 loss at Manchester United and 1-1 draw at Chelsea. That is much better quality opposition than this Southampton side so the last prediction for Southampton vs Leicester is for the away side to win, but with both teams scoring in the match. The odds for this are 7/2 with bet365 and if you join them today you get their £100 in bet credits sign-up offer.

Southampton Team News vs Leicester

The Saints manager will have to decide whether to drop Nathan Redmond for this match – the winger has been supporting Danny Ings up front but either summer signing Che Adams or SHane Long could go into the starting line-up.

Both Moussa Djenepo and Cedric Soares are still out injured.

James Ward-Prowse is likely to keep his place further up the pitch, unless Ralph Hasenhüttl decides to change to a more defensive formation for the visit of Leicester City.

Leicester Team News vs Southampton

It remains to be seen if James Maddison starts this match – the midfielder had to drop out of the England squad for the Euro 2020 qualifiers but he did play against Burnley. However, manager Brendan Rodgers has said he has hardly trained. It would be a big blow to Leicester if he couldn’t start the match here.

Ayoze Perez and Demarai Gray will fight it out for a starting place on the wing. Perez got the staring berth against Burnley but was replaced by Gray in the second half.

 

 

Southampton vs Leicester Correct Score Prediction

[inline_advert ad=”4″]

The last of our Southampton vs Leicester betting tips for this Friday night fixture is a correct score tip. The Saints have a very poor home record and the 4-1 defeat against Chelsea saw them wilt without a trace. I don’t expect Leicester to win that easily on Friday Night Football, but a narrow victory for the visiting side looks a good bet here. The odds for Leicester to beat Southampton 2-1 are 9/1 with bet365.

Southampton have scored one goal in each of their last four Premier League home fixutres but they’ve only taken one point from those four matches. That could be the case again this weekend.

 

Southampton vs Leicester Betting Tips

Both teams to score @ 7/10.

Danny Ings to score anytime @ 21/10.

Leicester to win and BTTS @ 7/2.
