What an important weekend it was for Leicester and Southampton. The Foxes had a very difficult game with West Brom at the King Power, but goals from Wilfred Ndidi (22) and Jamie Vardy (65) were enough to give Leicester the 2-1 win, with Jed Wallace (76) grabbing a consolation for West Brom. Those 3-points moved them back to the top of the Championship table, two points ahead of Ipswich and heaps huge pressure on Ipswich and Leeds below them in the table. However, after one tough home game, Leicester now face another against fourth placed Southampton. And it promises to be very tricky indeed, though the home side can point to a superb 4-1 win at St Mary's back when the teams met earlier in the season in the Championship. 

Russell Martin’s Southampton team saw goalkeeper Gavin Buzunu go down with an Achilles injury before the midweek game with Preston. He wasn’t missed in that game, but was when the Southampton travelled to Cardiff and ended up losing the game 2-1. The Bluebirds netting a late winner which could prove devastating to Southampton’s automatic promotion hopes. Martin’s team still have to face Leicester and Leeds in their last four games, so they are not out of things just yet. But with just one home game remaining, and facing their two big rivals away, it is a huge ask. We will know a lot more about the positions of both these teams in terms of promotion after this game.

Our Leicester vs Southampton Prediction

Leicester are somewhat fortunate that their home form has been solid over their stuttering performances in the last month or so. Three wins in their last three at the King Power have taken them back to the top of the table. With a win here, and if results go their way in other games, the Foxes could be confirmed as promoted. The data does suggest a Leicester win, especially given Southampton’s hugely decisive 2-1 defeat away to Cardiff on Saturday afternoon. However, the Saints have won 10 games on the road this season. As such, the safer option suggested by the data here, and our prediction for Leicester v Southampton, is for there to be Over 2.5 Goals scored.
