The Saints are winless in their last six matches across all competitions, suffering four losses and managing only two draws. Defensively, they've been struggling, conceding an alarming 14 goals in these six games, averaging 2.33 goals conceded per match. Their attack hasn't fared much better, scoring just 5 goals in this period. Notably, Southampton is on a current three-game losing streak in the Premier League, with each of these losses seeing them concede three goals. The team has failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last six matches, and 67% of their games have seen over 2.5 goals scored, indicating high-scoring affairs. Their goal difference of -9 over these six games further underlines their defensive vulnerabilities and attacking inefficiencies.

Leicester

Defensively, Leicester has been somewhat vulnerable, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game, while their attacking output has been modest at 1.17 goals scored per game. The high-scoring 4-2 loss against Arsenal stands out as a particularly eventful match.

Recent home/away form

Southampton

Southampton's recent home form shows a concerning trend for the Premier League side. In their last six home matches, they've managed only one win, which came against Montpellier in a friendly. Their league form at home is particularly worrying, with two losses and a draw in their last three Premier League matches at St. Mary's Stadium. The team has struggled to score goals, managing only one goal in their last three competitive home games, while conceding five. Their inability to keep clean sheets at home is evident, with only one in the last six matches. The recent 3-0 loss to Manchester United stands out as a particularly heavy defeat. With an average of just 0.83 goals scored per game and 1.17 conceded, Southampton's home performances have contributed significantly to their current 19th position in the league, highlighting the need for improvement in both attack and defense.

Leicester

Leicester City's recent away form has been challenging, with only one win in their last six away matches. The team has struggled defensively, conceding an average of 2 goals per game and keeping just one clean sheet. Their most recent away fixture was a high-scoring affair, losing 4-2 to Arsenal in the Premier League. Notably, Leicester has been involved in several goal-fest matches, with 83% of their last six games seeing over 2.5 goals scored. The team is currently experiencing a three-game winless streak away from home, including two consecutive losses in their most recent Premier League away matches. Despite their defensive woes, Leicester has managed to find the net consistently, scoring in five out of their last six away games, contributing to both teams scoring in 67% of these matches.
