Leicester City vs Southampton: prediction & betting odds 3 May 2025

The Matchday 35 Premier League clash between Leicester and Southampton will take place on May 3 at King Power Stadium. Leicester vs. Southampton: prediction and betting odds, statistics.

Leicester

For the second consecutive season, the three teams promoted to the Premier League are all set to be relegated. Leicester were the second team after Southampton to confirm their drop to the Championship. This followed a dismal run of form since December last year, with the team losing 17 of their last 20 Premier League matches (1 win and 2 draws). In their last two outings, Ruud van Nistelrooy's side failed to score again, suffering a home defeat to Liverpool (0-1) and an away loss to Wolverhampton (0-3).

  • In their last 11 Premier League matches, Leicester have picked up just one point.
  • Leicester have failed to score in 10 of their last 11 league games.
  • The club has conceded at least two goals in 9 of their last 11 Premier League matches.

Predicted lineup for Leicester (4-5-1)

Mads Hermansen – Wout Faes, Ricardo Pereira, Luke Thomas, Conor Coady – Facundo Buonanotte, Wilfred Ndidi, Boubakary Soumaré, Bilal El Khannous, Bobby Decordova-Reid – Jamie Vardy.

Southampton

Simon Rusk's side, with Rusk acting as head coach until the end of the season, nearly took points off Fulham in the last round. Playing at home, the club lost to Fulham (1-2), conceding the decisive goal after the 90th minute. Southampton's winless streak in the league has now extended to 10 matches (2 draws and 8 losses). The club remains at the bottom of the table, trailing Leicester by 7 points. Notably, the team has both the worst defensive record (80 goals conceded) and one of the poorest attacking records (25 goals scored).

  • Both teams have scored in 6 of Southampton's last 7 Premier League matches.
  • Exactly two or three goals have been scored in 5 of Southampton's last 6 league games.
  • The club has not won the second half in 10 consecutive Premier League matches (4 draws and 6 losses).

Predicted lineup for Southampton (5-4-1)

Aaron Ramsdale – Jack Stephens, Ryan Manning, Jan Bednarek, Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Kyle Walker-Peters – Lesley Ugochukwu, Matheus Fernandes, Flynn Downes, Kamaldeen Sulemana – Ross Stewart.

Leicester vs. Southampton: Match Prediction

Both teams have nothing left to play for in terms of league position – they will both be in the Championship next season. Therefore, in a bid to entertain their fans one last time, the teams are likely to aim for a high-scoring encounter. With no reason to focus heavily on defense, and having conceded a combined total of 156 goals this season, both sides may throw caution to the wind.

Leicester have conceded at least two goals in 9 of their last 10 home Premier League matches. However, they last scored at King Power Stadium in the league back in early December, but with a visit from the team that has conceded the most in the Premier League, they have a great chance to end their 9-match home goal drought in the league. Southampton have managed to keep a clean sheet only once on the road this season, but they have scored in 7 of their last 8 away league matches. Additionally, at least three goals have been scored in 6 of the last 7 head-to-head encounters in the Premier League and Championship.

My prediction: Total over 2.5 goals
