Tottenham v Leicester Betting Tips – Premier League 13th May 3.00pm

All of the pressure is off Tottenham’s shoulders now after picking up three home points against Newcastle in midweek which saw them lock in a Champions League place for next season. That saw them jump up into third and they just need to guarantee that they stay there. Leicester bust out of some really poor form in midweek as they delivered a big home win over Arsenal. That gives Leicester a confirmed top half of the table finish but boss Claude Puel still doesn’t look too secure in his job.

Tottenham News and Form

Spurs have secured a top four place and so there is nothing riding on this for them. They got over the line with a 1-0 win over Newcastle in midweek. Spurs have won all but one of their last seven at home now and with that kind of form, they will appeal to punters to win this as well. Tottenham’s last six wins on home soil have been with a clean sheet and Tottenham to win to nil at bet365 is at 7/5 odds* (betting odds taken on May 9th, 2018 at 6:46 p.m.) and should plenty of appeal for punters. Tottenham have earned a clean sheet in 56% of their home fixtures so far, shipping just the twelve goals. Going forward in attack they have almost returned an average of two per game and they are on a fifteen match scoring streak in the top flight at home. A Tottenham 2-0 option in the bet365 correct score market is at 8/1 odds* (betting odds taken on May 9th, 2018 at 6:46 p.m.). Harry Kane got the goal for them against Newcastle in midweek and even though since coming back from injury he hasn’t looked fit or sharp, he has scored in three of Tottenham’s last four games. Of the goals that Spurs have come up with at home this season, 63% of them have been in the second half of matches.

Leicester News and Form

Leicester snapped a run of poor form with a success over Arsenal in the weekend. The Foxes had taken just one point from five matches before taking a 3-1 win at the King Power over the Gunners on Wednesday. Overall this season Leicester’s away form is just W5 D5 L8 so nothing great at all and they have lost their last two out on the road against Burnley and Crystal Palace. This season out on the road they have gone D1 L6 in their seven games against the current top eight so that doesn’t bode well for them really. They did show some signs of looking more like their old selves in midweek, being quick and direct on the break. Both teams to score is at 7/10 odds* (betting odds taken on May 9th, 2018 at 6:46 p.m.). At no point of the season have the Foxes looked very good at the back though, but a half-time draw could be a decent proposition as the Foxes have been level at half-time in 12 for their 18 away games this season. This may well be a good, relaxed and penalty entertaining fixture at Wembley.

Tottenham v Leicester Head to Head

Leicester got themselves a great 2-1 home win over Spurs at the King Power earlier in the season. That leaves things even in the last five Premier League contests with two wins each and a draw. Spurs have failed to win their last two home games against the Foxes with a draw and a loss recorded. Both teams have scored in six of the last seven Premier League meetings.

Tottenham v Leicester Predictions

Tottenham to win: Spurs haven’t looked particularly sharp lately but they got over the finish line in getting a top-four finish. So that means that they can relax a bit and that could play its part in this being a high scoring game. Look for Tottenham to win & over 2.5 goals.
