FW Predictions for Southampton vs Leicester

Premier League predictions for Saturday's evening kick-off between Southampton and Leicester. The Saints sit bottom of the table and sit 6pts behind Leicester as things stand but with both teams getting knocked out of the FA Cup in midweek by lower-league opposition, this game could go either way.

Both Teams to Score

Our first Southampton vs Leicester prediction is in the BTTS market. Both teams have found the back of the net in each of the last four league meetings between Southampton and Leicester, and we're expecting more of the same on Saturday. Three of Southampton's and three of Leicester's last six outings in all competitions have produced goals at both ends of the pitch, adding further weight to our predictions.

Over 2.5 Goals

Our second Southampton vs Leicester prediction concerns the total goals scored during the 90-minutes. Each of the last three head-to-heads between these two clubs have witnessed at least three goals scored. Four of Southampton's and four of Leicester's last six matches in all competitions have ended with over 2.5 goals being scored, so you can see why we're backing goals in Saturday's late kick-off.

Southampton vs Leicester Lineups

Southampton

Southampton made the trip to fellow relegation-battlers Leeds last time out but ended up suffering a painful defeat. The game itself was very closely fought and the first half ended goalless. However, 13-minutes from time Firpo popped up with a rare goal to win the game for Leeds and leave Southampton frustrated once again. Larios, Adams, Salisu and Livramento are all rated as doubtful to feature this weekend which could have a big effect on the result.

Predicted Lineup – Bazunu (GK), Bednarek, Perraud, Bella-Kotchap, Armstrong, Elyounoussi, Ward-Prowse, Maitland-Niles, Sulemana, Lavia & Onuachu

Leicester

Leicester played host to the league leaders Arsenal last weekend and despite a decent performance, the day ended in defeat for the Foxes. A solitary goal early in the second-half from Martinelli proved enough for the Gunners to secure all 3pts. Justin and Tielemans look set to miss the trip to the south coast this weekend and there are also doubts over Evans who could face a late fitness test.

Predicted Lineup – Ward (GK), Castagne, Faes, Souttar, Kristiansen, Praet, Ndidi, Dewsbury-Hall, Barnes, Ịheanachọ & Tetê

Player to Watch: James Maddison

Maddison has been Leicester's stand-out player this season and we're backing the England international to have a big impact on Saturday's game against Southampton.

Maddison not only top scores for the Foxes this season with 9-goals in the Premier League, but he also has more assists than any other Leicester player (5) as well. If anyone is going to score the winning goal this weekend or set it up then our money would be on Maddison.

The 26-year-old has scored 2-goals in his last three league games for Leicester and looks full of confidence right now. Don't be surprised if Maddison gets or creates a goal from a set-piece as he has looked very sharp on free-kick duty this season.
