🧠 Prediction

Our thinking is that Leeds United have it in them to breach the defence of this Southampton team, although that possibly won’t quite prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We’re tipping a very close game with a 2-1 victory for Southampton by the time that the referee blows the final whistle. There looks to be little in this one.
