Best Tip: Both teams to score

Both Southampton and Leicester supporters should get a chance to celebrate as their sides go head-to-head, with our prediction of both teams to score looking a much better pick than any bet on the full time result market. The two clubs have goals in them, as is borne out by the statistics and past head-to-head data below. Even the bookmakers odds are not finding much to pick between the sides, a sign of the qualities (or lack of) each side possesses. Both teams to score is our top tip.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Leicester are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 48% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 2.10.
