Game Prediction
Leicester City and Southampton played in the Premier League in the previous season. Nowadays, they are forced to play in the Championship, but still hope to return after this cycle. It is all the more important to achieve victory now, in a head-to-head match. Who will be stronger here? The website contains an exclusive prediction for the essential confrontation on April 23, 2024.
Leicester City has lost such an important advantage
“The Foxes” are the author of the main football sensation of at least the current century. Ranieri’s championship has already become a legend. It was not possible to repeat it, but there were several good years under the leadership of Rodgers. Still, it all ended with relegation from the Premier League in the previous spring. As a result, the management called Maresca to the coaching position and gave an obvious task – to return the ambitious project to the Premier League on the very first trial. Enzo had a great start; moreover, his new wards were confidently in the lead for a long time. Still, perhaps, carried away by the cup confrontation, they began to lose points from mid-February very often. It seemed like they managed to come back to life in April, winning twice in a row, but then there were new defeats, which were made by Millwall and Plymouth. On Saturday, the club did it best and beat West Bromwich, and it’s significant that Vardy scored the winning goal.
Southampton should already be preparing for the play-offs
“The Saints” finally got a new generous investor a couple of years ago in the person of Dragan Šolak. Still, the club, instead of the expected progress in the previous season, suddenly managed to be relegated to the Championship. And it doesn’t live up to all expectations anymore. They were much lower than “the Foxes” for a long time and actually limited their ambitions to the fight for a place in the top 6. It became clear that this had been achieved ahead of schedule by mid-spring. Moreover, the shape of the team in April was excellent and allowed it to win in a row (in the battles against Coventry City, Watford and Preston North End). As for the game on the field of Cardiff, the favourite lost with a 1-2 score.
Previous head-to-head matches
