The first quarter of the Premier League is over and nine out of a total of 38 games have been completed. Time, then, to draw an interim conclusion, which could hardly be more different with the two opponents in the Friday play.
On the one hand, Leicester City – three and a half years of sensational champions in England – returned to the top and persists stubbornly as the main pursuers of Liverpool and Manchester City, mainly because of the strong defensive. Southampton FC on the other hand is in only two wins on the 17th place in the table. This season’s bitter reality is also a relegation battle.
No wonder then that in Southampton against Leicester the odds of the bookmakers in the direction of the Foxes turn down, however, the 13 of their 17 home points at home and could only get four counters from four games away.
That Southampton against Leicester the prognosis is nevertheless still in the direction of the men of Brendan Rodgers, is also because the Saints are the weakest home team in the entire Premier League. The Hasenhüttl selection scored so far only one point at St. Mary’s Stadium, also conceded in front of their own fans ten goals in four games.
For a short time it looked like a very solid season for the Saints. Southampton FC remained unbeaten for four games (three wins, one draw) after beating Liverpool 2-1 home, beating away strong striker Sheffield United and defeating Manchester United in defeat and outnumbered.
However, a pattern emerged already in these games: All three victories scored the troupe of Ralph Hasenhüttl in the distance. The 1-1 draw against the Red Devils was the only one scored at home to St. Mary’s Stadium.
In any case, the Saints floated off their skins as a result. Three defeats in the Premier League in series dropped the 16th of the preseason, so that the runner-up of the year 1984 was accordingly worried in the international break.
“I have no doubt that after just one point from our home games against Leicester, we’ll give our all. We have to play against a good opponent. It’s going to be a tough game, but we’ll be well prepared to look for a good match plan and then see what happens. ” – Ralph Hasenhüttl on the website of the association
The reaction of the team then agreed. Away with the strong Wolverhampton Wanderers – after all, for the Premier League in the Europa League active – succeeded the Saints in a 1-1 draw once again a point win.
Judging by the fact that the Wolves draw with their only scoring of the game by penalty, while Southampton himself created 14 chances and fired five shots, had in the end even been significantly more in it.
In any case, at Southampton against Leicester a tip against the home side is anything but a self-runner, because the game in Wolverhampton has emphasized that the crisis is at most a result crisis, but not playful. Although there were already violent 16 goals in nine league games – the third worst value of the entire Premier League – last was the defensive but very stable.
And in front would still be the new wonder weapon Danny Ings. The new signing of Liverpool FC not only marked the opening goal against Wolverhampton, but the 27-year-old, who had no perspective under Jürgen Klopp, thus met for the first time in his career in four consecutive competitive games. In the Cup at Portsmouth he hit twice, which brings him a great yield of five goals in four games.
In an otherwise not too efficient offensive – only nine league goals are the main reason that the Saints are only on position 17 in the Premier League table – it will be especially on Danny Ings also against the Foxes strong.
Best scorers in the league:
🏆 Danny Ings (4 goals)
🏆 Moussa Djenepo (2 goals)
Expected formation of Southampton:
↪ Gunn – Bertrand – Vestergaard – Yoshida – Bednarek – Valery – Höjbjerg – Romeu – Redmond – Ward-Prowse – Ings

After the two home wins over Tottenham and Newcastle Leicester City went with a penalty kick in the fifth minute of injury time with a small damper in the international break. The 1: 2 at Liverpool FC dropped the Foxes in fourth place and enlarged the gap to the top position already at ten points.
The fact that the team, which flourishes once again under the former Liverpool coach Brendan Rodgers these days, but could not put a lasting crack, showed the reaction, with which Leicester City has returned after the international break.
The foxes defeated Burnley 2-1 at home and came back to 0: 1 backlog. Thanks to the blunder of Arsenal FC is thus once again the third place in the table for the surprise champion of the year 2016 book.
“It was important for us to return to winning ways. We worked well during the international break and we are looking forward to a good phase. I hope we can continue to expand the winning streak. ” – Harvey Barnes at LCFC TV
Thus, Leicester City is allowed to dream of big international nights in Europe after exactly one quarter of the season. Areas that could not be climbed since the championship season, although many of the cornerstones of the championship were held for a remarkably long time.
For example, the former footballer of the year, playmaker Riyad Mahrez, went to Manchester City last season. Defender Harry Maguire moved to Manchester United in the most recent transfer window. Keeper Kasper Schmeichel is still there, as well as striker Jamie Vardy, who has awakened under Brendan Rodgers. Six season goals in nine appearances, the eccentric striker, who has been under contract with the Foxes since 2012, scored in the current season.
The fact that Southampton against Leicester the odds but so clearly turn out in the direction of the guests, is primarily because of the new coach, who took over in February and also with the many fully embarked new additions of Youri Tielemans on Dennis Praet to Ayoze Pérez had his fingers in the game, which could stabilize the defense.
The foxes have conceded only eight goals in nine league games, although against teams like Liverpool, Chelsea FC, Tottenham has already played. Coupled with the weakness of the Saints, this could already be half the battle in this away game – if that were not the hitherto weak record in the distance.
While Leicester City occupies first place in the Premier League home table, the Rodgers troupe has so far scored only four points in foreign places.
Best scorers in the league:
🏆 Jamie Vardy (6 goals)
🏆 James Maddison, Youri Tielemans, Wilfred Ndidi and Ricardo Pereira (2 goals each)
Expected lineup of Leicester:
↪ Schmeichel – Chilwell – Söyüncü – Evans – Pereira – Ndidi – Maddison – Tielemans – Barnes – Pérez – Vardy

⚽️ 19.10.2019 – Leicester City vs. Burnley 2: 1 (Premier League)
⚽️ 05.10.2019 – Liverpool Vs. Leicester City 2: 1 (Premier League)

Head to head: 33 – 28 – 28
A total of 89 clashes have occurred between Southampton FC and Leicester City so far. With 33 games won, the Saints are the leader in the head-to-head comparison. In 28 draws bring the Foxes it to 28 victories, but have lost the last duel with the Hasenhüttl troupe so far.
In January 2019, the Saints won away in Leicester 2-1, which has quite possibly driven the four weeks later taking place of Rodgers predecessor Claude Puel further. For Ralph Hasenhüttl it was a pioneering threesome in the relegation battle.
At Southampton against Leicester, the prediction should not only take into account the weak home record of the Saints and the good form of the Foxes. The fact that Leicester scored only four points away and only scored more than one goal in the distance at Sheffield should not be completely ignored.
Finally, the Saints had just turned the switch and had definitely earned after the three defeats in series before the international break in the first game after the break the three against Wolverhampton.
💫 Southampton are the Premier League’s weakest home team, scoring just one point at St. Mary’s Stadium
💫 Leicester is the strongest home team in England, but only brought four out of 17 so far
💫 Both teams came form strong from the international break
So much can happen in this game between two teams, who definitely do not shy away from a physical fight. Our recommendation goes to Southampton against Leicester for the tip on the division of points, which would ultimately also be a result with which both teams could live.
The Foxes would have scored with it again away and would continue to stand up, while the Saints would also be satisfied with a counter against a defensive opponent in view of their poor score.
