Preview | May 22
The season comes to a close. Leicester hope to extend their streak of two straight Premier League victories at home against Southampton. The Foxes won't take their opponent for granted, as the last fixture between these sides ended in a 2-2 draw. A wider lens on this matchup paints a prettier picture for Leicester, who have secured at least a point in twenty-three of their last thirty-one Premier League matches against Saints.
Leicester come in having recorded 2 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw in recent form. They hold a mid-table position of 9th. The Foxes have recorded a season average 52.7% possession (5th in the league) while taking 11.7 shots per match. Advanced metrics evaluate their average xG (expected goals) at 1.4 this year. Youri Tielemans has been their top tackler this season with 38 tackles won (28th in the EPL).
Southampton come in looking for a boost of confidence after a paltry 1 point over their last 5 matches. Goals have been a luxury as of late. Their average xG (expected goals) over the last 5 matches of 0.7 is 42% less than their season average. They may count on Mohammed Salisu for his defense, he currently leads the team with 45 tackles won (12th in the EPL). They'll look to James Ward-Prowse to lead their attack. He's led them with 52 total shots taken this season (36th in the EPL).
Leicester-Southampton Prediction: 3-1
Leicester's forward line should have some fun here, it looks unlikely they'll be matched by Southampton's but we'll soon see.
Did you know? Southampton have recorded 3 wins, 9 losses, and 6 draws on the road this season.
Can the Foxes keep their great form going? Will Saints halt their terrible form? Find your favourite market and place your bet at PokerStars Sports.
