⭐Leicester vs Southampton Prediction, Odds, Picks (Jan 16)⭐

Our Leicester vs Southampton prediction is that this is going to be a thriller. The clash between these two is going to be one of the most interesting games of Round 19 of the English Premier League.

Why? There are several reasons, starting with the fact that both teams have been playing really well lately. They’re both flying really high at the moment – the Foxes are in #3, the Saints stand in the #6 place.

Another reason is that it appears that both teams love to play big games. In the previous round, Southampton defeated the reigning Premier League champ, Liverpool. When it comes to Leicester City, this team beat Tottenham less than a month ago, while also playing a draw with Manchester United on Boxing Day.

Still not convinced that Leicester vs Southampton is going to be an entertaining game? You should also know that this is going to be a clash with two extremely prolific goal-scorers.

On one end, there’s Jamie Vardy, who was the top scorer in the Premier League last season. On the other end, there’s Danny Ings, who scored only one goal fewer than Vardy in 2019-20.

Leicester vs Southampton Odds

Game Preview

The UK is in another lockdown, curtesy of COVID-19, so there won’t be any fans in the stands of King Power Stadium in Leicester. Having some support would probably benefit the Foxes. However, this season, Leicester players have been fantastic away from home. In fact, they’re the best away team in the league.

But, when it comes to playing home, they’re not too great, with only 10 points won in 8 games. When it comes to Southampton, this team is the second-best home side in the Premiership, but they’re not very good away from home.

Nevertheless, both teams have been playing really great lately. Leicester are without a defeat for exactly one month. On December 16, they lost to Everton. Since then, they won three and drew two games, scoring a total of 11 goals in those five games.

Southampton, on the other hand, haven’t been too great in the attack. However, their defense has been fantastic – the Saints have kept a clean sheet in each of their previous three games. This includes the one against Liverpool as well.

Leicester vs Southampton Prediction

Leicester is a better team than Southampton – there’s no arguing about that. After all, this team showed its quality when they beat Southampton 9-0 in October 2019. Most of the players who played in that historic Leicester vs Southampton game are still in these two clubs. This is why our Leicester vs Southampton prediction has to be a win for the Foxes.

However, things have changed a lot since then. Southampton has become a sort of giant slayer, which no longer fears defeat. For this reason, we can expect the Saints to put on a very good performance on Saturday. They definitely have what it takes to score, but so do the Foxes. This is why we expect to see a decent number of goals in this game.

When it comes to player betting, the guys we expect to score some of the goals in the Leicester vs Southampton game are Jamie Vardy (Leicester City) and Danny Ings (Southampton).
