Betting prediction: Leeds United 2-2 Southampton

Leeds to draw 2-2 vs Southampton

Betting odds: 10/1

Leeds United suffered a second consecutive defeat on Friday as Illan Meslier scored an unfortunate own goal in a 1-0 defeat to Wolves.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side remain in 12th and two points above Southampton, with Tuesday’s clash finely poised.

The Saints ended a run of six straight defeats with an impressive draw against Chelsea.

However, following such a poor run, Ralph Hassenhuttl’s side have much to prove when they make the trip to Elland Road.

Leeds United vs Southampton: Recommended bets

Takumi Minamino to score first. The Liverpool loanee has made an impressive start to life at St Mary’s.

Minamino has two goals in three appearances, as he scored in Saturday’s draw with Chelsea.

The forward has secured a regular place in Hassenhuttl’s line-up and he will be looking to impress again on Tuesday.

Leeds United vs Southampton: Match preview

Leeds suffered back-to-back defeats on Friday as they were beaten by Wolves.

An own goal scored by Illan Meslier saw them drop all three points at Molineux.

The week before, Bielsa’s side were also well beaten by Arsenal as the Gunners won 4-2.

The west Yorkshire club are now down in 12th with 32 points.

Although, should they bounce back with a win on Tuesday, they could move into the top half climbing above both Wolves and Arsenal.

Southampton end run of six defeats

Southampton finally ended a run of six consecutive defeats as they held Chelsea to a 1-1 draw on Saturday.

Minamino’s first-half strike was cancelled out by Mason Mount’s second-half spot-kick as the two teams tied at St Mary’s.

Since their win over Liverpool last month, the Saints had been on a shocking run which has seen them slip into 13th.

However, they produced an impressive performance on Saturday to stop Thomas Tuchel’s new-look Blues side.

They will now be looking to build on the spirited showing on the weekend as they have the chance to climb into 11th with a win.

Leeds are set to remain without Kalvin Phillips who is out with a calf injury.

The midfielder has missed the last two matches – both of which Leeds have lost.

Rodrigo, Gaetano Berardi, Adam Forshaw, Ian Poveda and Robin Koch all are out of the clash.

Southampton team news vs Leeds United

Southampton were without Stuart Armstrong against Chelsea due to a minor injury.

The midfielder is set to be available for the Saints on Tuesday.

Theo Walcott, Ibrahima Diallo, Kyle Walker-Peters, Michael Obafemi and William Smallbone all remain sidelined.

Walker-Peters has been a big miss with Jan Bednarek being forced to fill in at right-back against Chelsea.

The 23-year-old is set to miss several weeks after suffering a hamstring injury.
