Southampton 23/20 to beat Leicester in Wednesday’s Premier League showdown

Competition: Premier League

Market: Southampton to beat Leicester

Odds: 23/20 @ Bet365

The Premier League gives neither the fans nor the players any time to rest this week as there is yet another group of games in midweek. The weekend brought a number of very exciting games, with the table very different from how it was before the last cluster of matches. With this in mind, Southampton host Leicester on Wednesday.

Southampton have been in poor form in recent weeks and they are in need of a morale-boosting win. In their last five games, they have won just once, drawing and losing twice apiece. This has seen the side to 11th in the league, and they are only five points clear of the relegation zone. A win in their next game is vital then as they look to keep the relegation zone as far away as possible, while still looking to keep pace with those above them.

For Leicester, this season has been one that is improving with each game. They were languishing in the relegation zone for much of the early part of the season, but after replacing CraShakespeareare with Claude Puel, they have been on the up. Three wins in their last three games is a superb return, and they are 10 points clear of the relegation zone. They currently sit in eighth-place in the table, six points short of Arsenal in fifth and the last European spot. Despite Leicester’s good form, Southampton are formidable at home, and we are backing them with odds of 23/20 from Bet365.
