Leicester take on the visitors Southampton in the round 3 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, August 20th at King Power Stadium (Leicester)
Leicester are embarrassing with their transfer activities. The "Foxes" relatively recently fought for a place in the Champions League. Yes, both approaches turned out to be unsuccessful in the end, but this was partially compensated by winning the Cup and the Super Cup. Against this background, last season was, if not a failure, then at least unsuccessful: only 52 points and 8th place. What's more, they haven't really bought anyone since then, just the Smithies. And then this Cardiff goalkeeper was signed as a free agent, when their legend, Schmeichel, was released on the cheap. But a few more key players are on the sight of the giants! It is not surprising that so far the team does not shine. She has lost a 2-goal lead over Brentford in the last half hour at home. And to Arsenal they lost 2-4.

Southampton is gradually building a new project. The Saints acquired a new owner, Dragan Sholak, at the height of last season. In the winter, he limited himself to only inviting a new CEO, Frank Ankresen. And now they are starting to build a new team. With a clear focus on the future, judging by the fact that more than 50 million pounds have been laid out for newcomers, where the lion's share is made up of young people like Bazunu and Lavia from the Manchester City youth team and Bella-Copapa from Bochum. Even for 20-year-old Sekou Mara from Bordeaux, they laid out 13 million, and in fact the guy could leave the “Girondins” for free – but decided to help the club that raised him. But at the same time, it is difficult to expect quick success from Soton. So far, the team in the new championship lost 1-4 to Tottenham and drew 2-2 with Leeds. By the way, they made a comeback with the latter, although they were “burning” 0-2 at St. Mary’s until the 72nd minute.
Leicester have not lost in their last 5 head-to-heads. There were 2 draws and 3 wins in that stretch, including a 4-1 win at King Power in May. Experts consider the Foxes to be the clear favorite even now. But there are many questions about them, although Southampton is clearly still raw. We recommend betting on "over 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
