Both teams to score prediction: Yes
Leicester City have found the back of the net in four of the last five fixtures while keeping two clean sheets. On the other hand, Southampton have also rattled the net in four games during the same duration. But the Saints have been unable to find a clean sheet in that course. Adding more to this, Southampton and the Foxes have contributed to four BTTS outcomes in their last five H2H meetings. Hence, we predict goals from both ends of the field in this game.
Correct score prediction: 2-1 to Leicester

Based on these statistics, we predict a 1-2 win for Leicester City at the end of this game.
