Command Analysis

Leicester City

England

Leicester City started the 2021-2022 season with a promising victory in the Community Shield match, but couldn't deliver the promise - they lost to AS Roma in the semifinals of the Conference League and finished only 8th in the Premier League, 4 points shy of reaching the European club competition zone.

The Foxes kicked off the new season with a 2:2 draw against Brentford. After that, Brendan Rodgers' men lost to Arsenal (2:4) at the Emirates Stadium. At the moment, they are in 15th place with just one point to their name.

The home team will be without Bertrand, Barnes, and Pereira, who are all out injured.

Southampton

England

Southampton had a quality 2021-2022 season. The Saints did well in the FA Cup, reaching the quarterfinals, and managed to collect 40 points from 38 games, which put them in 15th place in the final table.

Ralph Hasenhuttl's side signed Gavin Bazunu from Man City (14 million) and Sékou Mara from Bordeaux (13 million) in the summer. After starting the new season with a 1:4 loss to Tottenham, Soton recorded a 2:2 draw against Leeds United.

The visitors will have to cope without Walcott, Perraud, Livramento.

Tip and bets

2.57Handicap (-1) to Leicester

We will be backing Leicester City in this fixture. At home, the Foxes usually look powerful, plus at the moment the team is in decent shape and can take control of the game. Soton haven't found their form yet, and we don't think they will be able to overcome the hosts.

Our prediction — Asian handicap (-1) to Leicester
