Leeds vs Southampton Prediction & Betting tips
A neighborhood duel is on the program in the Premier League! Leeds host Southampton, neither side are in brilliant shape at the moment. What they all have in common is that the distance to the relegation zone is still comfortable. Nevertheless, both teams want to keep looking up and stabilize.
Especially at Leeds, the balance has been lacking recently, but your own path is still the right one and the approach often continues to work. Before the game between Leeds and Southampton, the odds of the best bookmakers also show that the newly promoted and host will be the easy favorite in this game.
Whether Leeds United can live up to this role will be shown on Tuesday evening from 18:00 p.m. Then the game will kick off on Elland Road.
Leeds :
Leeds United is having a very decent season under Marcelo Bielsa but has had some problems in recent weeks. One or the other player is missing, especially in the structure there have been some discrepancies recently. The result is that not all of the cogs in the Bielsa concept interlock and that one did not achieve the very big successes.
The newcomer generally plays with a lot of risk and continues to give full throttle even in a draw shortly before the end. This means that Leeds have only drawn two games after playing 24 league games. So most games find a winner.
Leeds’ offensive orientation is also reflected in the statistics. Four or more goals have been scored ten times this season when Leeds have been on the field. The team scored 40 goals themselves and conceded 43. Only West Bromwich Albion is more vulnerable defensively, but only five teams have scored more goals than the Bielsa-Elf.
Only in games with Manchester United participation are more goals scored. For this reason, before the Leeds game against Southampton, our prediction is that both teams will score.
With a win in this game to catch up, Leeds can jump in the table and move back to tenth place. In addition, you would then have a very reassuring cushion on the critical ranks.
Southampton :
At times, coach Ralph Hasenhuttl’s Southampton FC played a very good season, beating Liverpool and knocking in the top half of the table. In the meantime, however, we are confronted with a negative trend. A look at the Premier League table shows that the Saints are only in 13th place.
There are reasons. There was a 1-1 draw against Chelsea at the weekend, but before that Southampton lost six games in a row, conceding 20 goals. The last win was celebrated on January 4th against Liverpool, since then things have been going downhill. The bookmakers also register this, because before the Leeds game against Southampton, the odds suggest that the guests’ chances of winning are not too great.
Coach Hasenhüttl hopes that the game against Chelsea could have been a kind of liberation. There Southampton was more compact and played more purposefully. Chelsea dominated, but the Saints made it harder for their opponents to find gaps.
The generally weaker form of Southampton is also evident when looking at the away results. The Saints lost four games in a row abroad, five times in a row the Hasenhuttl-Elf remained without a win. A sense of achievement in an away win should finally follow again, but the task will not be easy, especially the defense has to work well.
However, Southampton has the fifth worst defense in the Premier League. The defensive problems are therefore present across the team for both. That leads to our tip ahead of the Leeds v Southampton game that both teams will score at least one goal.
With a win, Southampton would overtake Leeds. If the guest wins by three goals difference, the Hasenhuttl-Elf even makes up two places in the table.
