As part of the second round of the English Football Championship, the players of Southampton and Leeds will clash face to face. On whose side will the victory be in this duel? Our sports portal gives a forecast for this meeting.
Southampton
The Saints failed to please with decent football last season. The team almost flew to the Championship. Already in the course of the Premier League, it was clear that the club needed strengthening. In 38 matches played, the team was able to get 9 victories and 13 peaceful outcomes. The team got 40 points and placed on the 15th line. It is worth noting that Southampton did not start the new season in the best way. Having scored a goal against Tottenham, the team conceded four goals in response and lost to Spurs - 1:4.
"Leeds"
The "Peacocks" also had not the most confident season in the Premier League. The team managed to keep its place in the elite, but everything was on the verge. Leeds took the 17th place in the English championship, having managed to get 38 points to their asset. A number of players left the team in the offseason, and therefore the guests will not have a sweet time in the new championship. Despite a number of difficulties, in the first meeting of the season, Leeds managed to defeat Wolverhampton with a minimal advantage (2:1). This result was a real surprise.
Statistics and figures:
- Southampton - the favorite of the meeting;
- "Saints" lost 2 meetings in a row;
- Leeds have a 3-match unbeaten streak;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the opponents ended with a score of 1:1.
Forecast
I believe that in this meeting, Leeds will not be able to do anything with the opponent. Our bet in this match will be in favor of the "peacocks", who won three times against the opponent in 5 previous meetings, having drawn another meeting.
