LiontipsLeicester – Southampton. Predictions & Betting for the FA Cup match
Command Analysis
The Foxes are enjoying a successful season. Leicester are now in third place in the national championship, but they must defend their position. West Ham and Chelsea are just a point or two away from knocking Brendan Rodgers' side out of the Champions League.
Leicestershire haven't given up hope of winning the FA Cup. After all, their rival was the most passable of the three semi-finalists. Southampton is now noticeably inferior to Chelsea with Manchester City in terms of game consistency. Furthermore, the cup tournament should provide sufficient incentive, as «Leicester» has never previously won the honorary trophy. I still have to admit that the team made it to the final four times, but lost each time. The Foxes, on the other hand, haven't featured in the FA Cup final since 1969.
Last season, Brendan Rodgers' side reached the FA Cup quarter-finals, where they were defeated by Chelsea at home (0:1). Leicester City were left out of the quarter-finals in the latest tournament draw, despite beating Manchester United (3:1) at home. The Foxes knocked out another Premier League representative, Brighton, in the quarter-finals (1-0). By the way, we even defeated the «Gulls» at home. And «Leicester's» path to the trophy in this tournament started with victories over representatives from the lower divisions - Stoke City (4:0) and « Brentford » (3:0). (3:0).
Due to injuries, defenders James Justin and Wes Morgan, as well as midfielder Harvey Barnes, will be unable to play.
The season has not gone well for Southampton as a whole. The FA Cup is the only competition in which the Saints have a chance of winning. In the Premier League, Ralf Hasenhüttl's wards were eliminated in the second round. They lost (0:3) on the road to West Bromwich Albion in the final match of the national championship. Southampton's loss was their 11th in the last 14 rounds.
In the FA Cup, Ralf Hasenhüttl's team has a better record. Despite the fact that the opponents were of varying ranks. It should be remembered that «Soton» has yet to concede a goal in the cup tournament. Shrewsbury Town (2-0), Arsenal (1-0), Wolverhampton (2-0), and Bournemouth all knocked Southampton out of the FA Cup (3-0). The Saints have won their last two road games. In their previous ten FA Cup away matches, Saughton has only lost twice. He has scored at least two goals in seven of the last nine games.
Two midfielders, Oriol Romeu and William Smallbone, as well as striker Michael Obafemi, are in the team's infirmary. Takumi Minamino is ineligible to compete in the FA Cup because he previously represented Liverpool in the competition.
