With the Premier League returning once again, we got Southampton butting heads with Leeds United this Saturday, August 13, at St. Mary’s Stadium in Southampton City, England. As we are all curious to see who will win this intriguing matchup, here are our thoughts: 

 

Currently, Southampton has been in a bit of a tough spot standing at a disappointing 20th place in the English Premier League. They have only been able to secure one win in the last ten games that they’ve played (including club friendlies). At the moment, they are currently looking to bounce back after their poor start in the Premier League and a crushing defeat by Tottenham. James Ward-Prowse scored their first goal of the League; however, Southampton has to step up their game if they are looking to move their way up the English Premier League ranks. 

 

Looking over at the other end of the pitch, Leeds United currently stands in 7th in the English Premier League with one win as of yet, with Rodrigo scoring their first goal in the League. In the last ten games that they’ve played outside the League, they have only been able to secure three wins, two draws, and four losses. When looking at the history between the two teams, Southampton has been dominating Leeds having won four out of the five games last played across the Premier League, the Championship, and League One. However, they are not to be underestimated, having a historical record of 47 wins out of the total 96 games played between the two.  

 

Taking into account how Leeds United have been playing so far, it is looking like the odds are in their favor against Southampton in the upcoming English Premier League match.
