📊 Form Guide

Leicester City
LLLDLL 📉
Leicester City won’t want a repeat of their last result here after the 3-0 Premier League defeat in their last game at the hands of Wolverhampton Wanderers.
In that game, Leicester City managed 44% possession and 8 attempts on goal with 2 on target. Wolverhampton Wanderers had 20 attempts at goal with 6 on target. Matheus Cunha (33'), Jorgen Strand Larsen (56') and Rodrigo Gomes (85') scored for Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Leicester City have found it difficult to unlock defences in more recent games. Their sum of goals stands at just 2 vs opposing sides during the course of their previous 6 outings. In those games, Leicester City have also seen the tally of goals against them total 14. We will have to find out if that trend will be sustained here.
Pre-game facts show that Leicester City:
- have not been beaten in the league by Southampton in their previous 3 games.
- have not won at home in their last 10 league games. Something needs to change.
Southampton
LDLLDL ⚠
Following on from a losing effort in their last game against Fulham in Premier League action, Southampton and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.
In that match, Southampton managed 36% possession and 7 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. The scorer for Southampton was Jack Stephens (14'). For their opponents, Fulham had 26 attempts on goal with 5 on target. Emile Smith Rowe (72') and Ryan Sessegnon (92') scored for Fulham.
The stats tell the story, and Southampton have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, conceding 12 goals in total. In defence, Southampton have not been doing too well.
Going into this one, Southampton haven’t won away from home in the past 4 league matches.
🤜🤛 Head to head
Checking on their past head-to-head clashes stretching back to 22/05/2022 shows that Leicester City have won 4 of these and Southampton 2, with the number of draws being 0.
Those games weren’t short on goals, either, with 24 in total at an average of 4 goals per match.
The last league meeting between these sides was Premier League match day 8 on 19/10/2024 when the final score was Southampton 2-3 Leicester City.
In that match, Southampton had 42% possession and 14 shots on goal with 7 on target. The scorers were Cameron Archer (8') and Joe Aribo (28').
For their opponents, Leicester City had 18 attempts at goal with 4 on target. Facundo Buonanotte (64'), Jamie Vardy (74') and Jordan Ayew (98') scored.
The referee was Anthony Taylor.
🗞️ Team News: Leicester City
Issahaku Fatawu (Cruciate ligament surgery) and Harry Souttar (Achilles tendon rupture) won’t be able to feature for Leicester City gaffer Ruud van Nistelrooy.
In our view, The Foxes will probably opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation in the match with Jakub Stolarczyk, James Justin, Wout Faes, Conor Coady, Luke Thomas, Wilfred Ndidi, Oliver Skipp, Kasey McAteer, Bilal El Khannouss, Jordan Ayew and Jamie Vardy.
📋 Team News: Southampton
Southampton manager Simon Rusk has to currently contend with reduced team options. Ryan Fraser (Calf injury), Charlie Taylor (Hip injury), Albert Grønbæk (Tendon irritation), Gavin Bazunu (Meniscus injury) and Juan Larios (Fitness) will miss out on this game.
We’re of the thinking that The Saints could decide to begin the game with a 4-4-2 formation with a starting lineup of Aaron Ramsdale, T. Harwood-Bellis, Jan Bednarek, Jack Stephens, Kyle Walker-Peters, Lesley Ugochukwu, Flynn Downes, Ryan Manning, Mateus Fernandes, Kamaldeen Sulemana and Ross Stewart.
🔮 Prediction
Our thinking is that Southampton might have a difficult job to register a score against this Leicester City outfit who we reckon will emerge victorious.
That’s why our selection here is for a very competitive encounter with a 1-0 win for Leicester City at the end of this one.
Should be a close one.
