Southampton vs Leicester: Foxes to prevail over Saints

Southampton will welcome Leicester in game week 14 of the premier league. Will Saints end their losing run, or will Leicester continue to dominate lower-ranked sides?

Southampton Form

Southampton will look to move back to winning ways after their latest 4-0 defeat against Liverpool. They have now lost two matches on the trot, conceding six and scoring one in the process. Because of their recent performance, they are just nine points above the relegation zone. However, they had a great run in the previous four matches where they won three and drew one. They'll be looking to replicate that form against Leicester.

Leicester City form

Leicester seems to have found their form recently with an emphatic win against Watford. Vardy was on the scoresheet again and has come to the party at the right time of the season. They would continue to push for the top-four spot, which they missed out on the last two years. Currently tenth in the league, they would need many more performances like last weekend to have any hopes of Champions League. They would want to continue this momentum against Southampton.
