Southampton, after a successful run of four league games without a loss (3-1-0), have stalled and lost twice in a row. In the first case it was at Norwich's ground surprisingly, in the second one at Anfield completely as expected. Saints have conceded four goals by Liverpool, scored none and are looking forward to their home fixture. Indeed, they have lost only once at St. Mary's Stadium this season and have kept a clean sheet twice (2-1-0) in the past three rounds there. But they don't have good memories of Leicester here - they have lost three of their last four home games, including a memorable 0:9 defeat in 2019. Something similar is probably not imminent now, though, as the visitors are not having a great season. Last time, they did beat Watford 4-2 at home and moved up to tenth place, but this year they have been hampered mainly by erratic performances (5-3-5). On the other hand, it is true that they are only five points away from fourth place and nothing is lost yet. So, rather than picking the result of this game, it will be a safe bet that both teams will score, which has been the case in each of Leicester's previous 13 away league appearances.
My prediction: Both Teams to Score - Yes @ 1.61 (bet365)
