Leeds United at Southampton FC 10/16/21 - Premier League Picks & Predictions

Two teams coming off opposite results prior to the international break will lock horns on Saturday, when Southampton will play host to Leeds. Southampton have been in bad form so far in the season, having not yet won a match. Leeds are not far ahead, as they just recorded their first win of the season.

Southampton (0-3-4) are coming off a tough 3-1 loss on the road against Chelsea. They conceded an early goal but pulled even at the 61st minute from the penalty spot. However, they saw a red card and then they conceded 2 more goals to lose by 3-1. With no wins so far, Southampton are one of the 4 teams to not have tasted victory. They are sitting at the 17th spot of the league table with 4 points, scoring 5 and conceding 10 goals so far. Southampton have been quite competitive at home so far (0-1-2), losing to Wolves after two draws against West Ham and Manchester United.

Leeds (1-3-3) had a rather easy job at home against Watford prior to the break, where they scored an early goal and sat on the result. That 1-0 win was their first of the season, and it was also their first clean sheet of the season. Leeds are now sitting at the 16th spot of the Premier League with 6 points, scoring 7 goals and conceding 14 in the process, which is the 2nd worst defense in the league. They have a 0-1-2 record on the road, with all three of their matches so far producing goals from both sides.

Leeds won both matches against Southampton last season, with clean sheets, winning by 3-0 at home and by 2-0 in this venue. Neither of these two teams has been good defensively, and Leeds will still have a lot of injury concerns at the backline. Taking the Over 2.75 Goals here.
