Leicester City vs Norwich City Live Stats & Betting Odds
Leicester City Prediction – Can Leicester win nine on trot?
It’s been an incredible turnaround in fortunes for this east midlands outfit since the arrival of former Liverpool and Celtic manager, Brendan Rodgers, as his Leicester City side have won their last 8 Premier League matches on the trot, and they’ll be eyeing off a ninth straight success when second from bottom Norwich City come to town this Saturday.
This excellent sequence of results have thrust Leicester City into 2nd place and 8 points behind Premier League leaders, Liverpool, prior to this weekend’s action in the top flight, and having also won their last 7 matches at home on the trot, have emerged as the closest rivals to Liverpool’s seemingly certain title bid.
Leicester possess a strong home record which stands at 7-1-0 18/4 and after drawing 0-0 with Wolves in their opening home match of the season, The Foxes haven’t looked back; indeed, 5 of their subsequent 7 wins have also seen over 2.5 goals scored too, and the hosts possess dangerous key attacking personnel who can hurt Bournemouth here.
Vardy (16 goals) along with Perez (4 goals) have formed a useful partnership up front and with the likes of former Norwich midfielder, Maddison (5 goals) in support, the hosts look set to further add to their points tally this Saturday.
Norwich City Prediction – Can Norwich avoid heavy defeat?
Norwich City slumped to back-to-back defeats in the Premier League last weekend when they were handed a 2-1 loss at home to Sheffield United which followed an earlier and perhaps more damaging 2-1 loss away at fellow strugglers, Southampton, at St Mary’s Stadium.
With just 1 win out of their last 11 matches in the top flight, which came in the shape of a 2-0 win away from home at Everton, it’s extremely difficult to see how The Canaries can get a result at the King Power Stadium on Saturday afternoon, especially as the East Anglian side have collected just 2 away wins out of their last 18 matches on the road in the Premier League.
Norwich City also possess a poor looking away record which stands at 1-1-6 4/14 and although only 2 of these 8 away matches have resulted in over 2.5 goals as well as Norwich failing to score in 5 of these 8 matches too, I’m confident that this rampant Leicester City outfit can score all the necessary 3 goals required by themselves.
Key-Facts – Leicester City vs Norwich City
- Leicester have won their last 8 matches on the trot in the EPL
- 5 of the last 7 wins at home for Leicester have also been over 2.5 goals
- Norwich have won just 1 of their last 11 matches overall in the EPL
Betting Tips Verdict
Leicester City should take the spoils here with ease and we should also see 3 goals or more scored too.
