Leicester City Current Form – LLLLL

Five straight losses is not desirable for a team that just made its Premier League return and for a new manager. Leicester’s form is currently the worst in England’s top league followed by Southampton who were at least able to manage a draw in their losing streak. The Foxes conceded fourteen goals in that stretch and only scored twice.

Their goal difference is -21 with 23 goals scored and 44 conceded overall in the Premier League, second worst to Southampton whose goal difference is -32. A turnaround is needed in this fixture if they are to move out of the drop zone, being only two points from Wolves who are seventeenth with sixteen points.

Suggested Bets

1. Total Goals – Over 2.5: Encounters between these two teams generally produce goals, with only one failing to do so. Leicester City and Crystal Palace have twice played to a 2-1 result and twice again played to a 2-2 result. We tip the game to therefore have more than two goals. (37/50 with N1Bet).

2. Both Teams to Score – Yes: Like we tipped above, we foresee both teams scoring in the match. Four of their last five matches have produced a both teams to score result. (33/50 with N1Bet).

3. Leicester City Total Goals – Over 0.5: Although lacking in their most recent games, we tip Leicester City to at least score one goal in this encounter. Home advantage will work for them against a team they have historically found the net against regularly (9/25 with N1Bet).

Value Bets

1. Result and Both Teams to Score – Draw/Yes: We predict a score draw with both teams scoring. Leicester will be looking for some sort of result and a draw could probably be the best outcome for them. (16/5 with Betway).

2. Winning Margin – Draw: The game is likely to result in a draw, therefore, there will be no winning margin at the end of ninety minutes. A result that is very likely to happen, take note and consider it. (45/20 with Betway).

3. First Half First Goal – Leicester City: Teams that are usually on the back foot after a string of losses like Leicester, usually come out to shock their opponents with their backs against the walls. We tip them to grab a quick goal against Palace. (21/10 with Betway).
