Southampton vs Leicester City: Premier League Prediction Match Details
Southampton and Leicester City face off in a crucial Premier League matchday eight clash on Saturday at the St Mary’s Stadium. Will the Saints grab their first three points in this game?
Manchester United Preview & Form
Southampton continues to struggle with form since arriving in the Topflight this season, as the Saints have gathered only one point from a possible 21 points. The Saints are still searching for their first win of the campaign, having suffered six losses and a draw to Ipswich at home. The Saints showed signs of improvement in their last match before the international break by shockingly scoring an early second-half goal at the Emirates Stadium courtesy of Cameron Archer, but three quick goals saw Arsenal take all three points from the match. They currently sit 19th in the table with just one point, having scored the league’s lowest goals while conceding the joint second-most goals, 15.
Russell Martin will boost his team’s morale after they secured their first point of the season against fellow promoted team Ipswich at home. The Saints had a chance to win and claim their first three points in the match, but a late equalizer from Ipswich Town captain Sam Morsy dashed Southampton’s hopes.
Brentford Preview & Form
Leicester City has also struggled with form since arriving in the top flight of the new campaign, but picking up their first victory of the season in a narrow 1-0 win over Bournemouth at the King Palace Stadium before the international break will be a big boost. So far in the league, the Foxes have recorded three draws, three losses, and a win. Currently, they sit 15 in the league table with six points, two points behind Manchester United. The Foxes have scored nine league goals but they have conceded 12 goals during the process.
On the road, Leicester’s form has been disappointing, and their head coach, Steve Cooper, will hope his side can turn things around in this match. They suffered defeats against Fulham and Arsenal and drew 2-2 with Crystal Palace.
