Prediction Leicester City vs Southampton season – Betting Tips for Premier League on 03/05/2025

When Leicester City faces Southampton on May 3, 2025, at the King Power Stadium, both teams will play with a sense of urgency as the Premier League season approaches its conclusion. With both clubs struggling at the bottom of the table, this encounter is pivotal for their aspirations to evade the dreaded relegation zone.
Leicester City's Current Struggles
Leicester City enters this clash battling a string of unfavorable results that have left them languishing in 19th place. Having lost 24 out of 34 matches, the Foxes' defensive frailties have been alarming, conceding 76 goals this season. They managed only 4 wins and currently stand on 18 points. With their last match ending in a discouraging 0-3 loss to Newcastle United, Leicester has much to prove in front of their home supporters. However, they have shown some hope with 7 matches seeing both teams score.
Offensively, Leicester has been lackluster, netting just 27 goals throughout the season. Their recent performances suggest that they will need to capitalize on their home advantage, despite having only a single clean sheet this term.
Southampton's Disappointments
On the flip side, Southampton finds themselves at the foot of the table in 20th place, having only secured 11 points from 34 matches. With a disheartening total of just 2 victories and a staggering 27 losses, the Saints have also struggled defensively, allowing 80 goals to slip past them. In their last outing, Southampton lost 1-2 to Fulham, marking another disappointing result.
However, Southampton has demonstrated a little more resilience in attack with 25 goals scored. Notably, their matches often feature high drama; they have been part of 11 encounters where both teams managed to find the net, indicating that their games are far from deadlocked.
Key Matchup Insight
In their last encounter earlier this season, Southampton edged Leicester City with a thrilling 3-2 victory. That history will undoubtedly motivate both sides with pride at stake. Judging by their recent form and overall head-to-head results, this match could be a nail-biter, highlighting both teams’ defensive weaknesses while utilizing any opportunities to score.
Betting Suggestions
Given both teams' penchant for conceding goals, a bet on "Both Teams to Score" seems like the most prudent option. With Leicester's offensive effort at home and Southampton's inconsistent defense, it’s reasonable to expect at least both teams finding the net. Consider placing a bet on “Over 2.5 Goals” as well, considering their attacking statistics and past encounters – it promises an exciting encounter for fans and bettors alike.
This match is set to be a dramatic showdown as both teams fight desperately for survival.
