Leeds United - Southampton predictions

Kickoff starts at 12:30 on 04/05/2024 played @ Elland Road refereed by Matt Donohue

Leeds United are firm favourites in this matchup, and backing them may offer surprising betting value. It’s a very safe bet, though we suppose an upset is not outside the realm of possibility. We wouldn’t count on Southampton winning, though.

Considering what they’re up against, The Saints can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 5.35 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

The Peacocks are coming on the back of an away defeat at Queens Park Rangers in the previous round of the Championship. They were widely considered to be the stronger team before kick-off but severely underperformed throughout the game. The bout ended with a score of 4:0 – which is not an outcome many predictions saw coming.

A 0:1 defeat is not what Southampton fans thought would happen last time out in the Championship. And still, their highly favoured team failed to do anything more than losing on a single-goal margin to a complete underdog (0:1).

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

With 8 goals in their own net over the last 3 matches, Southampton’s defence leaves a lot to be desired.

These two squads already clashed this season, and The Whites narrowly lost the bout. With a home-field advantage on their side, however, most bookies believe that they’re more likely to win this time.

This Saturday, both teams will have a full roster available to them, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.53 odds offered at William Hill.
