Southampton vs Leicester City Prediction and Betting Tips (19.10.2024)

Command Analysis

Southampton

England

Current form

Four teams in the Premier League have yet to win a single game after seven rounds. Southampton are one of them, sitting in second-to-last 19th place with one point. The Saints earned their only point by drawing with Ipswich (1:1). They were unable to build on that local success, as they then suffered 1:3 defeats to Bournemouth and Arsenal. It is no surprise that Russell Martin men have been so weak this season. The team has been too unconvincing in attack, scoring only four goals, which is the worst result in the Premier League, and the players are playing straightforwardly in attack.

Disqualifications and injuries

Stevens is suspended, Bazunu is injured and Smallbone, Suleman and Stewart are questionable.

Interesting trends for betting

Leicester City

England

Current form

Leicester had gone six rounds without a win in the Premier League, but in the last game before the international break, they broke their losing streak. At home, the Foxes beat Bournemouth with a minimal score of 1:0. In general, the team is improving from match to match, one could say, they were heading for this victory. Before that, there were two draws and a good match with Arsenal, when they managed to win back two goals and only in injury time did the Gunners snatch a 4:2 victory. In the league table, Leicester is in 15th place with six points, outside the relegation zone, which can be considered a positive result.

Tip and bets

2.3Leicester with a handicap (0)

Seven rounds are behind us and, in general, we can already draw certain conclusions. Southampton, first of all, looks very unconvincing in terms of attack, the players act straightforwardly and do not create any particular threats to their opponents. Leicester has clearly gradually adapted, improved, won their first victory in the last round, which will give the players confidence in their own strength, plus, the team includes the experienced Vardy, who is able to decide the outcome of the confrontation alone. Last season, the Foxes confidently dealt with the Saints twice in the Championship, which is what we expect today.

Our prediction is a Leicester win with an Asian handicap (0) at odds of 2.30

Bet on total

Southampton have only scored four goals in seven Premier League games, and there are very few dangerous moments from the Saints. We don't think the hosts will be able to open Leicester defence twice today.

The second bet is Southampton individual total goals under 1.5 with odds of 1.76

Yellow Card Betting

"Leicester" is a rather rough team, it is no coincidence that in three of the four previous matches the players received more yellow cards than their opponents. We believe that today, according to this indicator, the "victory" will go to the guests.

Prediction: Leicester win on yellow cards with a handicap (0) with odds of 1.60
