I'm currently the only person in our prediction league at work who has Saints down for the win. 0 - 1 please, and I think I'll go top of that particular league. I've gone from bottom to 2nd in the last 6 weeks so the others are really scrutinising my predictions but they can't bring themselves to match any that I make despite all the signs that I might actually know something about football. The joys of being the only Saints fan in the office I didn't pay a lot of attention to my predictions earlier in the season because bottom place gets a wooden spoon, and I need a new one but I have now decided to win the league and buy a spoon.
I think it's because A: I know my team B: I only pay close attention to other football when Saints are playing like they care so results actually matter.
Normally you would think away against 2nd place is something of a "pressure off" situation as any result would be a bonus. But with what went on in the reverse fixture and our recent wins against chelsea and spurs I think the players will feel like that today is all about showing how far we have come since then. Im expecting a hell of a game with both sides well up for a battle
Need to go hard from the off. They had a tiring game in mid-week & are suffering a few knocks. Lets give them knocks some reminders.
Not making a prediction this time as I got it wildly wrong in the reverse fixture but I have put Saints in my acca as 4/1 are great odds and we are much a better team now.
Leicester have a lot of excellent players, and as a team are one of the best in the league. Even with our excellent form we'll do very well to get something out of this. I'd be delighted with a draw, but think a narrow defeat is most likely.
And probably even more Important: Need 100.0% today lads. LC may tire towards the end - keep in the game & we’ll have a good chance to get something out of this.
