Southampton

Last season, Southampton were relegated from the Premier League and had to descend to the Championship. Out of the last 5 matches, the club managed to overcome only 2 opponents. They lost to Gillingham (3:1) in the 1/64 of the English League Cup. In the second round with Norwich, they scored and conceded 4 goals each, ending the match in a draw. The third round witnessed them defeating Plymouth with a 1-goal advantage. In the fourth round, they triumphed over QPR (2:1). However, they conceded 5 unanswered goals from Sunderland in the fifth round.

Leicester

In their last 5 outings, the team claimed 4 victories. In the second round, they defeated Huddersfield, scoring the only goal of the match. In the third round, they surpassed Cardiff by a single goal. In the fourth round, they beat Rotherham with a minimum advantage. In the 1/32 of the English Football League Cup, they scored 2 unanswered goals against Tranmere Rovers. However, they succumbed to defeat against "Hull" in the fifth round, conceding the solitary goal of the fixture.

Head-to-head

Of the previous 5 matches between the clubs, Southampton were victorious twice. Leicester walked away with a win once, with two fixtures ending evenly. In their last face-off, Southampton beat their rivals with a minimal advantage.

Prediction

Both teams have been a bit inconsistent in recent matches, showcasing not their best performance. However, Leicester appear stronger in the longer run. Therefore, I propose to trust the guests and place a bet on their victory with a draw.
