Leicester City - Southampton predictions

By pricing a home win at around 2.12, the bookies made it clear that Leicester City are the favourites. Overall, though, the difference between the teams is not big, and the match can end either way.

While Southampton may manage to claw their way to a win yet, it will be quite a struggle. As we can see thanks to the 3.35 betting odds for an away win, the odds are stacked against them – though it’s still manageable.

The Foxes had to contend with winning a single point in their most recent Championship matchup. They recorded an HT/FT even though top bookmakers online marked them as the favourites in an away game, which is a bit of a missed opportunity.

The visitors are coming off from a fairly easy home win in the previous round of the Championship. A healthy 4:2 HT/FT victory will have certainly boosted their confidence ahead of the Friday clash.

One way or the other, games with The Foxes are rarely boring. They’ve consistently scored in every match for the last seven rounds.

Given 7 goals conceded in their own net over the past 3 matches, Southampton's defensive line is much to be desired.

These two teams already clashed this season, and The Foxes walked away with a solid away win. It was fairly narrow, though, giving Southampton supporters some hope for this game despite the unfavourable matchup.

Friday's matchup will feature both teams at full strength, allowing for a fair and competitive game.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.85 at 1xbet.
