Football – England – Premier League Betting Tips
Leicester City’s last home match of the season at the King Power Stadium has The Foxes in danger of fizzling out to end their campaign following some pretty ordinary results and performances as they prepare for the visit of Arsenal on Wednesday night.
Leicester come into this clash sitting in ninth place in the Premier League which at first glance, appears to be a pretty good return for the east midlands outfit, but take a closer look and you’ll find that Claude Puel’s men have lost four of their last five following defeats to Newcastle United, Burnley, Crystal Palace and West Ham.
The latter two defeats were to nil (5-0 and 2-0 respectively), and they’ll face another London club in the shape of Arsenal this evening as Puel looks to just get by with an out of form and disinterested Mahrez in his ranks. With just two home wins from their last ten at the King Power Stadium amidst an overall record of 6-6-6 22/21, The Foxes look ready for the taking here…
Following their disappointing exit to Atletico Madrid in the Europa League, Arsenal went a little way to redeeming themselves and gave manager Arsene Wenger the perfect send off at The Emirates on Sunday when they crushed Burnley 5-0 in The Gunners’ last home game of the season.
Arsenal will now seek to improve upon what is a very poor away record by their standards with stats of 3-4-10 18/28 when they make their way to Leicester following six defeats on the trot, and although the London club cannot catch up to fifth placed Chelsea, Wenger will be keen to end on a winning note, starting here.
Arsenal also seem to have the wood over Leicester City as they’ve won five of their last six meetings against The Foxes, and with striker Aubameyang (8 goals) scoring a brace alongside Lacazette (14 goals), the visitors could well end their losing streak away from home in this one.
