Leeds United vs Southampton Prediction

Leeds United are 19th in the league table, with very few surprised to see the exit of Jesse Marsch as manager. Spaniard Javi Gracia, probably best known for his time at Watford, has a tough job on his hands, with Leeds United struggling to pick up points right now.

They are only two points behind 17th-placed Bournemouth, but their current performances have not inspired confidence. Leeds United have not shied from spending big money this season, but questions have been raised about the recruitment strategy, with the likes of Weston McKennie, Maximilian Wober and Brenden Aaronson arriving with big expectations.

Southampton, like Leeds United, were extremely active during the January transfer window. They too recently sacked Nathan Jones from the managerial position, and are a point behind Leeds United, and occupy the bottom of the league table.

Jones' time at Southampton saw more focus being placed on his press conferences and interesting comments rather than on the actual football. Interim manager Ruben Selles is hoping to become the permanent manager of the club, and more results like the Chelsea one will surely help his cause.

Negotiations between Jesse Marsch and Southampton collapsed as the contract length was one of the main issues — the American coach wanted a long term deal ⚪️🔴🇺🇸 #SaintsFC
