We have 8 Premier League fixtures to look forward to this weekend including the meeting between Leeds United and Southampton.
The game will be played at Elland Road on the 25th of February and the hosts begin the weekend in 19th place on 19 points while the visitors are bottom of the table on 18 points.
Leeds United come into the match on the back of a disappointing 1-0 defeat at fellow strugglers Everton last weekend. The only goal of the game was scored in the 64th minute and the single strike was enough for the hosts to take maximum points.
That result means Leeds United have failed to win any of their last 4 fixtures, all of which have come in the Premier League.
There have been defeats against Nottingham Forest, Manchester United, and Everton plus a draw at Manchester United. The only victories in Leeds United’s 12 most recent matches have come in the FA Cup.
In terms of the Premier League, Leeds United have failed to win any of their last 10 games. They have recorded just a single victory from their 9 most recent home league matches and have lost 4 of their last 7 on home soil.
Trends show there have been under 2.5 goals scored in 4 of Leeds United’s 5 most recent Premier League games.
Southampton travel to Elland Road having recorded a fantastic 1-0 win at Chelsea last weekend in the Premier League. The Saints took the lead from a direct freekick in added time at the end of the first half and prevented the hosts from scoring after the interval to claim a shock victory.
The win at Chelsea was the first victory for Southampton in their 4 most recent fixtures in all competitions. There have been defeats against Brentford and Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League plus a 2-1 defeat at Newcastle United in the League Cup.
Southampton have won 2 of their last 7 matches in all competitions, with the other victory coming over Blackpool at home in the FA Cup.
Form in the Premier League shows Southampton have won only 2 of their last 12 games and they have lost 9 of their last 11 league matches. In their last 18 games in the Premier League, Southampton have recorded only 3 wins.
Team news and Leeds United are without injured forward Rodrigo Moreno. Luis Sinisterra, Marc Roca, Adam Forshaw, Archie Gray, and Stuart Dallas are all doubtful.
Southampton are without the injured duo of Stuart Armstrong and Juan Larios. Che Adams and Valentino Livramento are doubts but Alex McCarthy is back in training.
This is a huge game at the bottom of the table and we expect it to be tight, we few goals. Southampton recorded an excellent win at Chelsea last weekend but this is a different type of match, with immense pressure.
With the home fans at their back, Leeds United could come away with a crucial 1-0 win.
