Leicester v Stoke Betting Preview – Premier League 1st April 3.00pm
The Foxes are full of life after having gotten rid of Claudio Ranieri. They have won their last three league games on the bounce and have lost just one of their last four at home against the Potters. Stoke are a tough side as they showed in a recent draw at Man City, but overall their away form isn’t all that great and could struggle at the King Power.

Leicester v Stoke Betting Tips
Leicester then are running in a rich vein of form at the moment with a three-match winning streak on the board in the Premier League. They have scored exactly three goals in each of those wins. A Leicester 3-1 correct score option at Bet365 is a big 18/1 punt. That nine-goal haul in three games is as many goals as they managed in their previous nine league games. So they have won back to back games at the King Power beating Liverpool and Hull but they don’t have a clean sheet in any of their last eight so both teams to score at Bet365 is a good place to start for a price of 4/5. Leicester earned a point in a 2-2 draw at Stoke earlier this season and the Foxes have lost just one of their five previous Premier League games against Stoke (W2 D2). Riyad Mahrez has scored in his last two league appearances and is a 21/10 anytime goalscorer option, with Jamie Vardy at 6/5. Leicester have gone W2 D1 L1 in their last four at home against the Potters in all competitions.
Stoke haven’t been great travellers this season and they have won just one of their last eight trips to Leicester in all competitions as well (D3 L4). So they can’t be relied upon too heavily away from home. The Potters have just a W3 D4 L7 record on the board away from home in the top flight this season and they have failed to win any of their last three out on the road (D1 L2) without a goal in that sequence. They haven’t gone four without scoring on the road in the competition since March 2011 (five in a row). Of their last eight home and away games, Stoke have recorded only the two victories and going back to their poor away form, they have earned only four points from a possible 21 away from home since the start of December in a W1 D1 L5 record. No-one is really producing much up front for them and probably Marko Arnautovic at 3/1 looks their best route to goal. They could be vulnerable against a buzzing Leicester side.
