Leicester City vs Southampton Match Analysis & Prediction
23/04/2024 10:00 pm
With a place in next season’s Premier League nearly in their grasp, Leicester City will be looking to add three more points to their Championship total when they host Southampton at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday night.
The hosts are two points above Ipswich Town at the top of the Championship table, while third-placed Leeds United – the first club outside of the automatic promotion spots – are four points behind the Foxes.
Enzo Maresca’s side would be able to secure promotion if they manage to beat Southampton on Tuesday and Leeds United lose to Middlesbrough on Monday.
Leicester won their last Championship match, claiming a 2-1 victory over West Bromwich Albion at home, extending their home winning run to three games, which saw them leapfrog Ipswich back into the top of the table.
The Foxes have been tough to beat on home soil this season with 16 wins, one draw and just four losses in 21 Championship matches.
Meanwhile, Southampton suffered a 2-1 defeat to Cardiff City and the Cardiff City Stadium in their last league match to end a four-game unbeaten run, putting them in fourth position on 84 points.
The Saints are five points behind second-placed Ipswich Town, who are in line for promotion, while seventh-placed Hull City are 18 points adrift of Southampton in the playoff race.
In 21 league matches on the road this season, Southampton have secured 36 points from a possible 63, and they find themselves on a three-game away winless run, having not earned a win away since March 2 against Birmingham City.
