50% of their home games have made it over 2.5 goals this season
But each of their last four league games home and away have finished under the goal line
Leicester have conceded 83% of their home goals this season in the first half of matches
Under 2.5 goals is at 4/5 odds* (betting odds taken on November 27th, 2018 at 5:59 pm) to see that streak extended
The Foxes have been winning at halftime in just one of their home fixtures in the league this term
