Southampton vs. Leeds United 10/16/21 Premier League Soccer Pick, Odds, and Predictions

Southampton and Leeds United face off on Saturday in an English Premier League showdown at St. Mary’s Stadium.. When these two teams faced off in May, Leeds United came away with the 2-0 victory. 

Leeds United comes into this game sitting in 16th place in the standings having picked up six points. Leeds United has had some issues, but they are coming off a big win in their last game. Diego Llorente scored a goal in the 18th minute against Watford, and that was the difference as Leeds United came away with the victory. They had 20 shots and 67 percent of the possession, and that was the difference. In each of the last three games, Leeds United has scored one goal. Leeds has scored only seven goals total while the defense has given up 14 goals. Raphael Dias Belloli has been the best player for Leeds scoring three goals. Four different players have added one more goal.

Southampton sits in 17th place in the standings having picked up four points. Southampton has scored only one goal total over their last four games, and that came in the last game. In that last game though, Southampton gave up three goals to Chelsea. The offense has been the biggest issue for this team, so they have to really lean on the defense to have success. Southampton has scored five goals total and the defense has given up ten goals. James Word-Prowse has been the top player for Southampton scoring two goals. If they want any chance to win this game, it’s going to need to be the defense that is good. 

These are two offenses that I don’t really trust and I expect good scoring chances are going to be hard to come by for both teams. Look for especially Southampton to struggle to score, and the under is going to cash. I am also throwing a few dollars on an exact score of 0-0.
