Everton V Leicester Predictions & Betting Odds

Everton v Leicester Betting Tips – Premier League 31st January 7.45pm

The Toffees are looking to snap a bit of a frustrating winless streak of form in the top flight as they go into action at Goodison Park against Leicester on Wednesday. The Toffees are sat in ninth place heading into the next round of matches, but Leicester are two places above them and with a six-point advantage over them. So for Leicester, this is a good chance to pick up three points which would help see them drive towards a top-seven finish this season.

Everton News and Form

The Toffees are on a winless slump at the moment in the Premier League having failed to collect a victory in any of their last six. During those half-dozen games, Everton have only recorded the two goals a well. So that has been a real struggle for them lately. But they can take some confidence perhaps from their home form which has seen them lose only one of their last seven at Goodison Park in the Premier League, but they are currently winless in three there with a D2 L1 record. Under 2.5 goals at Ladbrokes is worth a look, as each of Everton’s last three Premier League home games have gone under the goal line. They managed to fight back to earn a 1-1 draw at home against West Brom last time out and that leaves them W6 D2 L4 at home this season in the top flight. Everton have averaged 1.5 goals per game on home soil this season but have shipped at a rate of 1.3 per game. 71% of their points earned this season in the top flight have come on home soil, but only four teams in the entire division have conceded more goals than they have done. With no clean sheets and a lack of goals, they are going to be vulnerable.

Leicester News and Form

Leicester have collected seven points from their last three Premier League games, each of those games bringing a clean sheet as well for them. Leicester to win to nil at Ladbrokes, therefore, may be worth considering for this one as they do carry more of an offensive threat than the Toffees do. Before they played out a 0-0 draw at Chelsea in their last away game (despite a wealth of chances) Leicester had scored in seven consecutive away games. Leicester have taken three wins only out on the road in the top flight this season which is not great at all, and they are currently winless in their last three away from the King Power. They have not been behind at half-time in an away game, so a half-time draw at Ladbrokes is worth considering. Leicester have averaged 1.5 goals per game on their travels and 61% of their goals away from home have come in the first half of matches. Overall Leicester have scored in 75% of their away games this season and they have Jamie Vardy, Riyad Mahrez and Shinji Okazaki joint top-away goal scorer for them, all with four goals each.

Everton v Leicester Head to Head

Leicester took a good home win over Everton earlier in the season and they have a bit of form at Goodison Park, winning their last two visits there, one in the FA Cup and one in the Premier League. Six of the last eight meetings between the two clubs have gone over 2.5 goals so there is a good trend there and in the last seven Premier League matches, Leicester are W3 D2 L2 up against the Toffees. Both teams have scored in eight of the last ten meetings between the two clubs in all competitions.
