Southampton - Leicester City betting tips and odds

Southampton have a big mountain to climb. The task ahead is difficult but not impossible but with 3.05 slapped on home win in this match, this one is for the risk-takers.

If everything goes according to plan and Leicester City put their best foot forward we expect to see an away win in this match.

No one expected The Saints to win the previous round at Tottenham Hotspur – they were the visiting team in a highly disfavourable matchup. Even though they somehow managed to end the first half with a lead, their opponents went home with 3 points after a narrow 2:1 win.

The Saints have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net lately. For instance, their previous 3 Premier League matches were marked by more than 5 goals conceded in total.

Leicester have scored 6 times in their previous 3 games. If their attacking line continues the fine scoring form, the Over markets seem like a sure bet.

With just a few matches ahead of them, Leicester are 15 points behind their goal of lifting the silver. Overcoming The Saints will not be easy, though.

The history of this specific matchup indicates that it isn’t a great pick for underdog betting. The Foxes came out on top on several occasions, with their triumphs spread over several competitions.

Oriol Romeu, Will Smallbone, Michael Obafemi will not be able to play for the hosts this Friday due to various injuries. This makes their chances of coming out on top as underdogs even smaller but is important to keep in mind when considering betting odds.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.80, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
