Leicester City will host fellow relegated side Southampton when they continue with their Premier League campaign this weekend. The two teams are headed straight back to the second tier, just one season after being promoted. In case you are looking to bet on this match, we have the preview and a prediction below.
Leicester City arrive for this game in 19th place in the standings and, after 34 matches, have amassed 18 points. On their part, Southampton are rock bottom and seven points adrift of their hosts.
The Foxes won a five-goal thriller in the reverse meeting back in October and are favored by the bookies to win again. Wins have been elusive for these two teams, and so far, they have won a combined six games in the league. Southampton have two points in their last 10 matches and Leicester one in the same period. Can either side break these lengthy winless runs?

Leicester - Southampton: Form Analysis
Leicester have had a disappointing return to the Premier League. Champions in 2016, the Foxes have been relegated from the English top-flight twice in the last three seasons.
They have won just four games thus far and lost a whopping 24 times. Seventeen of those losses have come in Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s tenure.
The former Dutch international became the club’s third coach this season back in December and has overseen 21 league matches.
Leicester are without a win in 12 outings across all competitions, and only once have they fought to avoid defeat. The hosts are coming off a 3-0 humbling away to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Ruud van Nistelrooy’s appointment didn’t improve Leicester City.
Southampton will likely finish the season with the worst record. Simon Rusk’s men have won just twice all season and are sitting on 11 points with four games to go.
They have lost a league-leading 27 games and have conceded a massive 80 goals. Yet to win in the league since February, the Blades have lost eight of their last 10 matches.
After a valiant draw at West Ham on matchday 33, Southampton were once again back in the losing column in the very next matchday.
Seeking their first win at home since November, the port-city club was outgunned 2-1 by Fulham last time out. Southampton have had four coaching changes this season.

Leicester & Southampton Squad Analysis
The name on many fans’ lips at the moment is Jamie Vardy’s after the veteran forward announced he is leaving the club at the end of the season.
There is no doubt Vardy has had an impact on the team and is imprinted in the Foxes’ success story. Unfortunately, his best effort this season couldn’t come with survival.
Still, he is their leading scorer this season, with seven goals. Vardy was also on target in the reverse meeting as Leicester won 3-2.
Aaron Ramsdale saved two penalties this season.
One area Southampton haven't done so well in is in attack. Paul Onuachu is their top scorer in the league, yet he has only four goals. He is, however, a doubt for this game due to an ankle issue.
In case he is ruled out, Joe Aribo may be the man charged with the goal-getting duties. Together, the two Nigerians have combined for seven PL goals.
There will also be a special interest in the goalkeeping department. Aaron Ramsdale will be gunning for only his third clean sheet in the league, having managed two in 26 matches. His save percentage of 64% is, however, among the highest in the league.

Our Leicester vs Southampton Prediction
Our prediction for Leicester City vs Southampton is that Leicester wins the match. Leicester and Southampton have been among the whipping boys this season and have each lost over 20 league games.
Leicester City, however, are our pick to win this battle between the two relegated teams. Not only have they fared better than their visitors, but the Foxes have also had the upper hand in recent meetings with the Saints. They have won the last three meetings and in that run, found the net a total of 12 times.
Leicester vs Southampton Alternative Predictions
Jamie Vardy to score
For our second prediction, we pick Jamie Vardy to score. The veteran forward is Leicester’s leading scorer, with seven of his goals this season coming in the league. He also has scored in each of the last three meetings with Southampton. As he nears the end of his Leicester career, we expect the English forward to have an impactful outing.
