Leicester v Stoke Betting Tips – Premier League 24th February 12.30pm
Leicester have the chance to climb up into seventh on Saturday as they start the weekend’s action at home against Stoke at lunchtime. The Foxes could do with a pick-me-up too having failed to win any of their last three. Stoke are still in a spot of bother in the relegation zone and only a win would get them out of there at the end of this match.
Leicester News and Form
The home form of Leicester has been pretty solid and they have collected only the one defeat in their last seven league fixtures at the King Power. So they are going pretty well and are on a four-match undefeated streak of league form there and have banked a clean sheet in two of their last three home games. Leicester to win to nil at bet365 is at 15/8 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 6.33 p.m. on February 20th, 2018) and is a decent proposition. The Foxes have averaged just around 1.5 goals per game at home this season and they have netted in each of their last four at the King Power, so that puts them in great shape really for a win against the struggling Stoke. Jamie Vardy is on a four-match scoring streak of form in the league at the moment and makes a great first-time goalscorer option. Leicester have been strong starters to matches this season and have been leading at half time in six home games this season. The most frequent half time score at the King Power this season has been 1-0 in Leicester’s favour.
Stoke News and Form
Stoke start the weekend second from bottom in the league with only West Brom doing worse. However, they have gone W1 D2 L1 in their last four games which is points on the board at least. But the rub of that reality is that all of those points were collected on home soil and they are on a three-match losing sequence away from home in the top flight, scoring just the one goal in those three games too. Stoke have managed to collect just the two points in their current eight-match winless streak of away from that they are on. They have only picked up the one away clean sheet all season and haven’t had a great impact going forward themselves with just eleven goals in 13 matches. That could play its part in this going under 2.5 goals which at bet356 is at 9/10 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 6.33 p.m. on February 20th, 2018). Stoke have conceded at least two goals in each of their last three road games and with only a W1 D3 L9 record away from home this season, that’s 69% of road games which they have lost.

Leicester to win: It is hard to see the Foxes slipping up in this home contest. They have been ticking over well at home and Stoke are not a major threat. It’s worth having a look at both teams to score, but a home win still.
