Leeds vs Southampton Predictions and Odds

The most recent Leeds vs Southampton head-to-head was on August 13, 2022. This match ended in a draw, although the Peacocks started out in the lead, leaving them too confident and taking the game for granted. As such, the Saints’ momentum managed to get the discount and, later, the tie. A fair result for an even match, although it could have been avoided if they had been careful with the scoreline.

Leeds had 58% of the possession, with which they were able to create their own game, and they were able to play their game successfully. On the other hand, while Southampton only reached 42% of the possession, they managed to steal the home strength and turned the game in their favor in the last minutes.

The visitors nailed 74% of their passes, while the home side only managed 69% of their combinations. In the match, the Peacocks had five shots on goal, scoring on two, while the Saints had four direct shots on goal, two of which went in.

In the first half, there were no goals or excitement. Both teams were asleep on the field, and if they were trying to do something, the effort was not noticeable. It would be after the break, in the 46th minute of the second half, when Harrison squared the ball for midfielder Rodrigo Moreno to score Leeds‘ first goal. The Peacocks’ second came in the 60th minute, this time Strujik providing the ball for Moreno’s brace.

In the 72nd minute, Southampton would make their presence felt, Armstrong passing to midfielder Joe Aribo to make it 2-1 Leeds vs Southampton. In the 81st minute, Mara assisted Kyle Walker-Peters for an equalizer and a miraculous point for his club.
