Manchester City V Leicester Predictions & Betting Odds

Manchester City v Leicester Betting Tips – Premier League 10th February 5.30pm

Surprisingly Manchester City were held to a draw at Turf Moor against Burnley last weekend in the top flight, dropping more points on the road. However, their home form is right on point at the moment and basically has been all season. So that means a difficult evening is in store for Leicester on Saturday evening. That having been said, the Foxes have enjoyed a pretty successful start to 2018 in the Premier League.

Manchester City News and Form

So City had another wobble out on the road on the weekend, but their home form has been impeccable this season. You can’t find fault with a team who have gone W12 D1 L0 at home at all. The Citizens have scored at least three goals in each of their last five home games now and you are looking at 10/11 odds* (Betting Odds taken on February 5th, 2018 at 2:52 a.m.) at bet365 for this fixture to get up over 3.5 goals. Sergio Aguero heads up the first goalscorer market for the fixture and he has seven goals in his last four home Premier League games. That’s some going. City have averaged 3.5 goals per game at home this season while at the back they have still only conceded the nine goals. So they have been tight but have only the two clean sheets in their last eight home league games. So that suggests that the Foxes may get something against them and it is worth considering both teams to score in the game. Going back to the scoring power of City, they have scored at least two goals in their last twelve Premier League home games. Can Leicester handle that?

Leicester News and Form

The Foxes have not won in four away games in the Premier League, picking up just a point in that stretch of games. That was from a great 0-0 draw out at Stamford Bridge back in the middle of January. Each of their last three away defeats in the Premier league have all been by a 2-1 scoreline and in the bet365 correct score market a Man City 2-1 option is at 7/1 odds* (Betting Odds taken on February 5th, 2018 at 2:52 a.m.). The Foxes have scored pretty well away from home, just about one and a half goals per game so they could create something. They have been level at half time in nine of their thirteen away games so a half-time draw may be a decent shout in looking for some value as well for this game. 62% of Leicester’s away games this season have gone over 2.5 goals so this should turn out to be a high scoring affair and the Foxes have collected a clean sheet in just a paltry 15% of their away games so far this term. They will be vulnerable at the back but will always pose a danger through their quick counter attacks. The Foxes have scored in 77% of their road games this season.

Manchester City v Leicester Head to Head

The Citizens picked up a 2-0 win at the King Power against Leicester back in November and then a month later beat them on penalties there in an EFL Cup battle. That is a three-match undefeated streak that the Citizens are on now against the Foxes in all options. However, in the last five Premier League meetings, things are even with two wins each and one draw. On home soil, though Manchester City have won three of their last four against the Foxes (L1). Both teams have scored in four of the last five meetings in all competitions.
