Southampton FC at Leicester City 5/22/22 - Premier League Picks & Predictions

Last Updated: 05/21/2022 at 11:46 AM ET

In the final round of the 2021/2022 English Premier League season, Leicester City will play at home where they will host Southampton. 

Leicester City are currently in 9th position on the Premier League ladder and have not much more to achieve this season. The Foxes played Chelsea in their most recent match in a game that ended as a 1-1 draw. It was a solid performance by the Foxes with James Maddison scoring the goal for Leicester City early in the match. It has been a modest season for Leicester City as they would be disappointed that they didn’t play well enough to secure a spot in Europe next season. That being said, Leicester City are destined to finish the season in the top 10 which is always a good achievement in the Premier League. 

On the other side of the pitch, Southampton will also be hoping to finish the season with a win. As it currently stands, the Saints are in 15th position with 40 points from their 37 games. Southampton have successfully avoided relegation but it has been a poor season for the team. Southampton lost their most recent match where they were beaten 2-1 at home by Liverpool. A loss to Liverpool was an expected result for the Saints as they have lacked the quality required to compete with the big teams this season. This is expected to be a challenging finish to the season for Southampton. 

Leicester City and Southampton played each other earlier in the season as a part of the Premier League. The match was hosted by Southampton and played at St Mary's Stadium. On that occasion, the match ended as a 2-2 draw with both teams sharing the points. 

 

Looking at all the information, we am going to pick Leicester City to win this match. Both teams are safe from relegation but we see Leicester being the better team on paper. Leicester City also have the advantage of playing at home and we see them winning this game for their fans as they end their season. Final Score Prediction, Leicester City wins 2-1.
