Southampton vs Leeds Prediction: Bookmakers chose the wrong favorite

Southampton will take on Leeds in round 2 of the English Premier League on August 13 at 17:00 (UTC+3). Let's see how the opponents are doing & what the best bet is. There are several options for you to consider!

Southampton got off to a poor start in the new season of the English Premier League. They suffered a devastating defeat against Tottenham, conceding four goals and scoring only one. Judging by this, it is likely that the team in the next season will fight for survival. Currently, Southampton is at the bottom of the standings, and it's time to take action. In the upcoming game, the club will meet far from the most powerful opponent, and the club may try their luck and swing for three points. 

Leeds showed their intentions for the new season in the first round. They managed to add three points to their assets, beating Wolverhampton 2-1 at the home stadium. But we should not jump to conclusions, as there is an away match ahead. It is worth noting that Leeds played four friendlies before EPL started, beating Blackpool and Brisbane Roar (4-0 and 2-1), drawing with Crystal Palace, and losing to Aston Villa. 

Bookmaker analysts have given their preference to the first team, with which we disagree. While Leeds looked a little worse last season than their upcoming opponent, the team started briskly and confidently this time. In general, we think the match will be equal, but the visitors will be a little luckier. To play it safe, we suggest betting on Leeds' double chance for very attractive odds. 

Prediction: Leeds will not lose.
