Leicester City - Southampton betting tips and odds

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Southampton are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Leicester City should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

The Saints will have little to hope for in this match. 4.33 betting odds on them winning paint a pretty clear picture and from this standpoint there is little doubt in regard to the outcome of this clash.

The latest 1:2 triumph we saw from The Foxes was deserved, if a bit unimpressive. They managed to meet the expectations in the previous round against Newcastle United but the mediocre first half performance raised some uncomfortable questions.

The Saints have been full of surprises lately. Last round they faced off against Liverpool, and most online bookmakers priced their home win at 6.40. In spite of such overwhelming odds, they pulled ahead in the first half and secured a narrow 1:0 victory that no one saw coming.

The Saints’s defence has been flawless for the last 3 matches with a grand total of zero goals conceded.

The season is quite promising for Leicester so far – with a 3rd spot in the standings, they’re still in the race for a shot at the title. They are trailing the Premier League leaders by 1 point and not all is lost at this stage of the season.

With close to half of the season behind us, The Saints are looking fairly strong. They’re still in contention for the title, being number 6th in the standings. The Foxes are one of the harder challenges they have to face if they wish to move up, though.
