Leeds take on the visitors Southampton in the round 25 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, February 25th at Elland Road (Leeds).
Leeds have been struggling lately, earning only one point in their last four league matches and dropping to second to last place in the table. They have also changed their coach. In this match, the hosts are considered favorites, but they have been struggling to score lately. They did have a glimmer of hope in a match against Manchester United (2-2), but they lost and conceded goals in their other three Premier League matches in February: 0-1 to Nottingham, 0-1 to Everton, and 0-2 to Manchester United. At the end of January, Leeds couldn't even keep a clean sheet against the modest Accrington Stanley in the FA cup, conceding one goal. I think the hosts will concede in the next round of the championship since they have only kept their goal intact four times in the previous 23 rounds.

Southampton caused a sensation in the previous round of the Premier League by beating local graints Chelsea, 1-0. Although the team hasn't moved up from last place in the table, they have come close to their competitors. Within next two rounds and favorable outcomes, they might leave the relegation zone. In the round before their visit to the "’Pensioners," the "Saints" lost to Wolverhampton, but they did score a goal (1-2). A little earlier, they scored against Newcastle in the cup (1-2). In January, they won away against Everton 2-1 and defeated Fulham. We think we can expect at least one precise strike from Ruben Selles' team.
This is a very difficult match to predict. It is not wise to bet on the outcome of the match, but it makes sense to bet on goals. The two worst teams in the Premier League at the moment will face each other in this match. There is no point in sitting back in defense anymore; both teams need to win and get out of the relegation zone. Therefore, it is quite logical to expect a fairly open game. We will pick the away team's goal, despite the fact that the bookmakers consider the hosts favorites. Leeds have been scoring too rarely lately, while the team has been conceding goals steadily. The "saints" are currently on a morale boost after their away victory over Chelsea. Moreover, in four out of their last five away matches, Southampton has disappointed their opponents at least once. In their last three head-to-head matches, they scored against Leeds, including a 2-2 draw in the first round of the current season.
Prediction for the match: Southampton to score – yes.
