Leicester takes on the visitors Southampton Wolverhampton in the round 38 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, May 22nd at King Power Stadium (Leicester).
Leicester had a hope to brighten up failures in the domestic arena with success in the international arena. Yes, there the British did not qualify from the Europa League group. But from the 3rd place they went to the Conference League, where they were able to overcome such strong rivals as Rennes with PSV. But Roma were in the semi-finals, and Jose Mourinho's wards turned out to be a little stronger: 1-1, 1-0 in favor of the Italians. Finally, however, the “foxes” suddenly began to show their teeth in the Premier League, although there is no particular motivation there. They thrashed Norwich and Watford in May and went 1-1 in London against Chelsea on Thursday. However, it is still impossible to catch up even with West Ham, which is 7th, so it’s impossible to break into European competitions.

Southampton no longer have tournament motivation. Moreover, in the winter, the “saints” got, firstly, a new owner, the Serbian Dragan Sholak, and secondly, a new investor lured the top scout, Ankresen from Brentford. So far, the functionary has been keeping an eye on the team and studying its strengths and weaknesses, but it is obvious that he is already preparing transfers. And those players who are now in the cage understand that they may become unnecessary ... In such conditions, even Ralf Hasenhüttl, with all his talents as a coach, cannot motivate his wards in the spring. The Saints won only once in the English Premier League all spring, on April 16, when they went 1-0 at home against Arsenal. After that, the team completely stopped playing, limiting themselves to only the 1st draw in 5 rounds of the Premier League.
Leicester are unbeaten for 4 head-to-heads in a row. True, at first there were 2 wins, and then, both in April and in December of last year, there were effective draws. Leicester will not have Bertrand and Ndidi. Also questionable is Tielemans, who has a knee injury. Southampton will not use Livramento and possibly Forster, who complains about back problems. Both clubs no longer have the motivation to tear their veins. We will limit ourselves to a cautious option with a bet on "total less than 3.5 goals scored"
Prediction for the match: Under 3.5 goals scored.
