Leicester City versus Southampton, Sunday, April 3
Premier League football returns this weekend with Leicester City looking to consolidate their five-point lead at the top of table against Southampton at the King Power Stadium on Sunday. Second-placed Spurs can keep the pressure on the Foxes by beating Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday evening, but Claudio Ranieri’s side have won four and drawn two of their last six Premier League matches at home and are justifiably 6/5 favourites to add another three points to their total for the season.
Saints’ recent away record is far from shabby, with wins against Stoke, Swansea and Manchester United and a draw against Arsenal in their last six matches on the road. However, they had their limitations exposed against Bournemouth and Norwich and, on the whole, have struggled to score goals away from home.
The Foxes have won 13 games this season by a single goal, more than any other team in the Premier League, and Jamie Vardy has scored 19 goals, more than anyone else bar England colleague Harry Kane. In search of a little value, let’s try a scorecast on Jamie Vardy to scored the first goal and Leicester City to win 1-0 at 21/1 with Betvictor.
