Sports Betting Tips

Southampton and Leicester City are both at St. Mary's Stadium in a Premier League matchday 3 match. At this stage, the history of direct confrontations is favorable to the home team, which has 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last 4 games. However, the last time they faced at this stadium was on 12-13-2017, in a Premier League game that ended Leicester City's (1-4) win. The goals of the match were scored by M. Yoshida (61 ') for Southampton and R. Mahrez (11'), S. Okazaki (32 'and 69') and A. King (38 ') for Leicester City. In this meeting the home factor could play an important role, since Southampton presents significant differences in the results achieved at home and as a visitor.

Analysis of Southampton

The home team is currently 13th in the standings with 1 point behind them. In their debut they drew at home against Burnley by (0-0). On Matchday 2, he lost out to Everton by (2-1). This is a team that curiously shows more positive results than at home, since in the last 30 games it has recorded 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses as a visitor, with 18 goals scored and 24 conceded; against 3 wins, 6 draws and 6 defeats in his stadium, with 14 goals scored and 22 conceded. In the last 10 home games for all competitions, Southampton won 3, drawn 3 and lost 4. The team conceded goals in 7 of their last 10 matches, so there are defensive processes that need to be improved. In his home games there is a tendency to few goals, since in 32 of the last 52 who played there were less than 3 goals.

Southampton come to this game with a 2-1 defeat at Everton to add to their second winless win in the English league: their only goal in the game was scored by Danny Ings. The Mark Hughes-oriented set exhibits several flaws in the style of play, especially in the defensive sector: standing balls and attack-defense transition. By facing a team that enjoys having the ball, Southampton must come up with a more cautious strategy, exploiting only the counterattacks. Charlie Austin is one of the great dangers of Southampton, being this very strong and strong in the aerial game. In doubt for this game are Vestergaard and Elyounoussi.

Analysis of Leicester City

Currently in the 9th position, the visiting team has so far won 3 points. In the first matchday lost out with Manchester United by (2-1). On the following day, the final result was a victory (2-0) in the home game with Wolverhampton Wanderers. This is a team that maintains the income when it plays outside its stadium, because in the last 30 games it has 5 wins, 2 draws and 8 losses as a visitor; against 5 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses in his stadium. In the last 10 games as a visitor, Leicester City have won 4 and lost 6. Defensive solidity has not been their strong point as they conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 games but their attack has regularly scored as they have scored goals in the last 10 matches.

Leicester start for this motivated game after having won their first Premier League win by beating Wolverhampton 2-0 at home: the goals were signed by James Maddison and Doherty. In this away game, coach Claude Puel should keep the team 4-2-3-1 privileging ball possession and organized bouts through the corridors: Demarai Gray is a very fast and strong player in the offensive transition. For this game the coach can not count on his biggest star Jamie Vardy due to punishment. Matty James and Okazaki are also down for Southampton's injury due to injuries.

Betting Tip: 

The bet we recommend for this game is the '' both teams score - yes ''. Given the offensive quality and defensive deficiencies of the two formations, they will be expected to provide an open game with plenty of chances for both sides. In addition, the two sets have strong offensive sectors, as opposed to the defensive one, making the two teams the best option.
