Promotion rivals Southampton and Leicester come together at St Mary´s Stadium for a potentially vital Championship fixture this Friday.
Southampton vs Leicester Betting Tips - BTTS
Sitting seventh and third in the Championship, both teams return to action after losing their most recent league contests a fortnight ago.
Hosts Southampton had enjoyed a great start to the season with three wins and a draw before suffering a shock 5:0 loss against Sunderland last time out. The Saints also saw BTTS and over 2.5 goals in both home matches played so far.
Leicester arrives on the south coast having slumped to a disappointing 1:0 home reversal against Hull prior to the recent international break. However, the Foxes had enjoyed an excellent six-game winning run prior to their recent setback against the Tigers.
On their travels, Leicester have won all four matches played in both the League Cup and Championship and will be confident of getting something from this clash of high-profile Championship sides.
Recent matches between these sides took place in the Premier League and typically delivered plenty of goals. Four of the last five matches between the Saints and Foxes saw BTTS, with three of the last four also seeing over 2.5 goals scored.
While Leicester have made the stronger start to the campaign, Southampton will be keen to bounce back from their hammering at Sunderland, and I expect both teams to be up for the live Friday night fixture.
Given past meetings and both teams' relatively good form, I´m backing BTTS for this Championship contest on Friday.
