Brighton v Leicester Betting Tips – Premier League 31st March 3.00pm
The Seagulls have a nice cushion of six points between themselves and the drop zone and anything out of this one would be a positive return to action as they take on a side sitting above them in the Premier League table. Leicester snapped a log winless streak just before the break, so will they pick up from there or need some time to get back into the groove of things?
Brighton News and Form
Brighton have been ticking along nicely since the end of January really and are W3 D2 L1 in their last six Premier League fixtures.So they are up in mid-table looking pretty safe at the moment and their home form has been great. They have won each of their last three at the Amex in the top flight, netting a total of nine goals in that positive sequence too. It has all been very good from them and the last time they took a home win it was Arsenal they beat by a 2-1 scoreline. They are still getting troubled at the back and they haven’t managed a league clean sheet this year. So both teams to score at bet365 for 19/20 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 04:27 p.m. on March 26th, 2018) looks a viable enough option for this one at the Amex. Brighton have a five-match scoring streak going at home (their last nine overall home and away combined) and have netted at least two of their own in each of their last three. 67% of their league goals at the Amex this term have been after the halftime break.
Leicester News and Form
Leicester were not running in particularly hot form leading up to the international break. They did bag a 4-1 victory over bottom side West Brom in tier the last match, but they were without a win in their five previous games (D3 L2) in the league. Their triumph over the Baggies at the Hawthorns snapped a five-match winless streak of away from that Leicester were on, losing four of those. So their away form isn’t great at the moment which could present Brighton a good chance in this. Leicester haven’t taken a clean sheet in any of their last six league outings, but they have scored in each of their last seven so over 2.5 goals at bet365 for 5/4 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 04:27 p.m. on March 26th, 2018) looks good value as this could be a really entertaining match up at the Amex. Leicester have been level at half time in eleven of their away fixtures this season and 67% of their fixtures away from the King Power have made it over the 2.5 goal line. Of the goals that Leicester have conceded this season, almost two-thirds of them have been in the second half of matches. Leicester City have scored in 80% of their away matches.
Brighton v Leicester Head to Head
It was Leicester on top when the two met at the King Power earlier in the season, beating the Seagulls 2-0. That was their first game since the 2013/14 Championship season when Brighton won both fixtures. The Seagulls are on a four-match unbeaten streak at home against Leicester (W3 D1). Both teams have scored in just three of the last eight league meetings between them.
