Leicester City form and stats

A Premier League draw at home so far for Leicester City. Last season their home statistics were 10 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats from 19 matches.

The regulars are hoping that Leicester City will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 2-4 away loss in the game against Arsenal (placed 2nd). As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? The striker Maddison was named "man of the match" for Leicester City with the rating of 7.75/10. Maddison scored one goal, hit one key pass and had 31 successful passes (of 38 total).

In the match before that, Leicester City hosted Brentford and drew the game 2-2.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Leicester handle that role? We have found 8 games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are 3 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Leicester City as they are travelling to their away game against Stockport County in the Carabao Cup. That match is two days after this one.

Early season league goal statistics from Leicester City's 1 home game: 2 goals, 2 conceded.

Southampton form and stats

The visitors' first away game in the Premier League ended in defeat. Last season Southampton had these away match statistics: Played 19; won 3, drew 6 and lost 10.

Southampton delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Leeds United (placed 5th) in their previous fixture. A comeback secured a 90 minute draw in the match against Leeds United. Southampton were trailing 0-2 but refused to surrender and clawed their way back to 2-2, with Walker-Peters scoring the equalizer. Midfielder Ward-Prowse was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.23. Ward-Prowse dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Prior to that match, the Southampton manager Hasenhüttl faced defeat when travelling to Tottenham Hotspur and losing 1-4.

We have checked recent matches where Southampton have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 10 games were 1 victory, 3 draws and 6 defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Southampton now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Carabao Cup game at Cambridge United is waiting in only two days.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Southampton has managed 1 goal and let in 4 from 1 match.

Head 2 Head

Leicester have pulled off a sequence of 5 consecutive matches without defeat (3-2-0) when facing Southampton.
