Full analysis

In the upcoming Premiership clash at King Power Stadium, Leicester City face a crucial match against Southampton, both teams desperately needing points to avoid relegation.

Leicester, currently 19th in the standings with 18 points, have struggled significantly at home, securing just 9 points and 2 wins from 17 matches. They've scored 11 goals but conceded 34. Southampton, at the bottom with 11 points, also have a poor away record with only 1 win and 6 points from 17 games. In terms of head-to-head, Leicester won the last encounter 3-2 at St Mary's, showing they can edge out Southampton.

The key argument here revolves around Leicester's slightly better form when facing Southampton directly, as evidenced by their recent away win. However, both teams have been in dismal form; Leicester have lost their last five home games without scoring, while Southampton have one win in their last five away matches. Both teams have high goals against stats, indicating defensive vulnerabilities. A counterargument might be the unpredictability of a relegation scrap, where teams often pull off unexpected results. However, Leicester’s need and slight home advantage might just tilt things in their favor.

Tip: Leicester to win, with a 60% probability.

Good luck.
