The Premier League continues with a Saturday lunchtime kick-off withLeicester City taking on Tottenham as the betting tips continue at the King Power Stadium.
Leicester City Prediction – Can Leicester City bounce back at home?
Last weekend’s 1-0 defeat away at Manchester United ended Leicester City’s unbeaten start to the new Premier League season but The Foxes return to their King Power Stadium where they will be looking to take advantage of a potentially tired Tottenham side who were involved in the Champions League during the week.
Leicester City started the new campaign in promising fashion as the hosts picked up points in back-to-back draws with Wolves and Chelsea in 0-0 and 1-1 draws and then registered back-to-back wins against Sheffield United 2-1 away from home and a 3-1 home win over Bournemouth.
Having put together a 4-match unbeaten sequence at home which includes a 3-0 win over Arsenal towards the end of last season, the Foxes will be confident that they can make life difficult for Tottenham in this early kick-off.
Indeed, Leicester City have lost just 1 out of their last 8 matches at home in the Premier League which was a surprise loss to Newcastle United last term.
Tottenham Prediction – Can Tottenham build on Palace win?
This was the question that many people were asking themselves prior to Tottenham’s midweek clash against Olympiakos in the Champions League, and after taking a 2-0 lead only to be pegged back to a 2-2 draw, we seem to be no nearer to knowing the answer!
Strictly speaking, its a “no”, but Tottenham have lost just 1 of their last 6 matches in all competitions. The only thing is, Spurs have only collected 2 wins out of this recent 6-match sequence though which were victories against Aston Villa and Crystal Palace, both of which were in the Premier League and both against teams sitting in the bottom half of the division.
Away from home, it’s now 8 matches without a win for the North London club which must be a growing concern for manager, Mauricio Pochettino, as he seeks to find the final piece of the puzzle in making Tottenham genuine title contenders.
These last 8 away matches consist of 6 defeats and 2 draws, with Tottenham having conceded 14 goals and scoring just 7 in reply, so they may well be there for the taking if Leicester City can control the game early on.
Key-Facts – Leicester City v Tottenham
- Leicester City have lost just 1 out of their last 8 matches at home in the EPL
- Tottenham have failed to win any of their last 8 away matches in the EPL
- Tottenham have won the last 3 meetings on the trot against Leicester City
