In the tournament so far, Leicester has shown no nakedness. The quarter-final match in particular was impressive, when the Foxes beat Manchester United 3-1. Brighton, Stoke and Brentford could also be eliminated. The Saints can definitely be a very unpleasant opponent, so coach Brendan Rodgers' team has been warned.

Leicester wants to stop the trend

The trend of the last few games in the Premier League is not too positive. Before the loss to West Ham, Leicester lost to Manchester City, and it was only enough to draw against Burnley. The problem over the last few weeks is that Leicester have conceded too many goals. The Foxes held zero in just one of nine games last.

Southampton - stats & current form

The "guests" of trainer Ralph Hasenhüttl play a season with light, but also shade. In the Premier League table, the Saints are in 14th place, but the lead over the relegation zone is big enough. However, there was a 3-0 defeat at relegation candidate West Bromwich last weekend, and the game was extremely bleak.

Free soccer predictions

Unsurprisingly, ahead of the Leicester v Southampton game, the odds suggest that the guests don't have too much of a chance of progressing. But the Saints shouldn't be underestimated in knockout games. Shrewsbury, Arsenal, Wolverhampton, Bournemouth: These teams were able to eliminate the Hasenhüttl-Elf, all games were won without conceding a goal.

A win and a finals would save an average season at best. Not relegation was just the minimum goal, the Saints did not go through many development phases.

Southampton: Defensive problem child

Free soccer tips

A problem child for the Southampton team is the defensive. The Hasenhüttl-Elf has one of the weakest defenses in the Premier League, conceding at least two goals in the last four games - even if a game was won. Altogether there were even twelve goals conceded in four consecutive games, which is way too many.
