At the moment, the two teams are in two different situations. While Leicester City are racing for a Top 4 spot, Southampton are still uncertain about their chances of staying in the top flight of English football.
In the Premier League this season, under the hands of coach Brendan Rodgers, the "Foxes" are becoming an extremely difficult opponent to play. With an impressive record, Leicester City is firmly in the Top 3, behind only 2 teams in Manchester.
With Man City proving their monopoly in the Premier League championship race, the FA Cup will apparently become a practical goal that Leicester can dream of. In particular, this is the first time the "Foxes" have participated in the FA Cup semi-finals in 39 years. However, before thinking about the future, Brendan Rodgers and his students will need to overcome Southampton in the upcoming semi-final.
Leicester's journey to the semi-finals encountered a huge obstacle - "The Reds become Manchester" right in the quarter-finals. In a " sleepy" day of Man United's defense, Leicester took advantage of the opportunity very well. The excellent attack helped the home team win against the "Red Sea" with a score of 3-1 right at King Power.
Also in the quarter-finals, Southampton easily got a ticket to the next round when their opponent was only Bournemouth, an opponent from the EFL Championship. With the brilliance of Nathan Redmond, Ralph Hasenhuttl's team quickly crushed their opponents with 3 goals unaiched. Therefore, thinking about a ticket to the final is not too much for "The Saints".
In a cup tournament, nothing is impossible, especially when both Leicester and Southampton are determined to get a ticket to the final. It will be a fierce competition at Wembley. Which team will enter the final match of the oldest tournament in the foggy country?
The match between Leicester City and Southampton will take place at 00:30 am on Monday (October 19, Vietnam time), on the Live section and Foxy application of FPT Television.
