Southampton vs Leeds Match Preview

For the 2nd matchday of the English Premier League, Southampton welcomes Leeds to St. Mary's Stadium.

A bad start for Southampton in this season's Premier League as they were beaten 4-1 by Tottenham Hotspur in London last week. Despite the fact that they started the match perfectly and were the ones who opened the scoring in the 12th minute, they collapsed and conceding two goals until the end of the half and two more in the second half, they easily lost the match.

Tonight against a more compatible opponent, Southampton will try in front of their fans to take their first victory in this season's league.

Leeds entered the new season with a win, in the first matchday of the Premier League they beat Wolves at home 2-1. The hosts found themselves behind in the score from very early on, but managed to equalize halfway through the first half. In the second half, without being better - characterized by the fact that their goalkeeper was their best player - they were luckier and with an own goal in the 74th minute they shaped the final result.

This was a victory that, in addition to the points, uplifts Leeds in their bid for a year without last year's stress and a comfortable stay in the top division.

Southampton struggled in the opening game, however, against a very difficult opponent. Leeds, on the other hand, were better, had luck on their side and started with three points. However, both showed many defensive weaknesses and with the aggressive approach they are expected to have, they can give us a match with many chances and goals. My pick is Over 2.5 goals at odds of 1.75.
