Betting Preview: Leicester City vs. Southampton

Leicester City are bidding to return to winning ways on Thursday night as they face Southampton at King Power Stadium.

The Foxes won the reverse fixture 4-1 win at St Mary’s in December and another victory could strengthen the hosts’ push to secure a top-half spot.

Nailed on...

With Saints struggling to pick up points and the Foxes earning seven points from their last five league games, the hosts should get at least a point. Double Chance: Leicester or Draw is 1/3.

There’s also every chance we’ll see goals. Each of Southampton’s last five league games have seen three or more, as have each of Leicester’s previous two. The odds make it 10/11 for Over 2.5 Goals at King Power Stadium.

Smart money...

The East Midlands outfit have won half of their last ten home league games and will be hoping to bag another three points against a side who have picked up two points from seven games. It’s 5/4 for a Foxes win.

Jamie Vardy has been in stellar form of late. The England ace has found the net in nine of his last 11 outings and has closed out the scoring in each of the previous four.

He’s 13/10 to register on Saturday, while it’s 7/2 for Vardy to be Last Goalscorer.

The hosts have outscored the opposition after the break in seven of the last eight games. It’s 13/8 for Second Half Result: Leicester. Meanwhile, it’s 21/20 for Over 1.5 Second Half Goals.

Long shots...

The South Coast club have led and lost in each of their last two games, whilst the Foxes came from 1-0 down to beat West Bromwich Albion 4-1 last month. It’s 11/1 for Leicester to Win from Behind.

Meanwhile, with each of the visitors’ last two games ending in 3-2 defeats, the Foxes to win 3-2 is priced up at a sizeable 25/1.
