At the King Power Stadium this weekend, Leicester play host a Tottenham Hotspur side desperate to get back on track after losing against Brighton and drawing against Brentford. For Spurs this weekend, it’s a must-win game if they wish to keep their hopes of making it into the next year’s Champions League group stage.
Read on below to check out some of our best Premier League betting options.
TOTTENHAM VS LEICESTER CITY: BETTING TIPS
TOTTENHAM
PREMIER LEAGUE FORM: D – L – W – W – W
By notching up just one point from a possible four in the previous two games, Tottenham find themselves outside the top four, two points down on their biggest rivals Arsenal. After previously enjoying a series of games scoring two or more in each fixutre, Spurs have now gone two games without registering a single shot on target.
When asked about these contrasting statistics, Conte commented that his side is yet to find the secret ingredient to unlock defences that sit deep and defend with the whole squad. The Italian also mentioned that it’s a sign that other teams have identified that Tottenham are dangerous, and they need to defend deeper to keep his side at bay.
The injured Matt Doherty will be a massive blow for Spurs as throughout the season the Irishman proved to be a great outlet when going forward with the legs to also defend when needed. Tottenham will identify Leicester as an opponent that will attack and may leave spaces at the back that their elite front three can exploit.
We are pricing Harry Kane or Son to score anytime during the match at 1/4 (1.25).
Those who are backing Tottenham to break their duck and win convincingly with a correct score of 2-0 at 27/4 (7.75).
We are also pricing Tottenham to win to nil at 14/9 (2.55).
PREVIOUS GAME LINEUP: Lloris, Romero, Dier, Davies, Emerson, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Sessegnon, Kulusevski, Kane and Son.
INJURIES OR SUSPENSIONS – Skipp, Doherty and Tanganga
LEICESTER CITY
PREMIER LEAGUE FORM: D – D – L – W – D
Leicester City drew 0-0 against Aston Villa in their last game in the Premier League. Despite dictating possession for most of the game, the Foxes failed to carve out scoring opportunities. After the game, Brendan Rodgers also commented that his side were good defensively, which is something that the Foxes haven’t been throughout the season, mostly due to injuries.
Jamie Vardy featured in the game against Aston Villa, but is still not up to speed due to his lengthy injury. The Foxes have played out a 1-1 draw against Roma in the Conference league semi-final which might be a factor regarding energy levels in the weekend against Tottenham.
We are anticipating an open game and thus pricing both teams to score at 5/7 (1.72).
You can also get Dane Scarlett or Jamie Vardy to score anytime during the match at 3/4 (1.75).
PREVIOUS GAME LINEUP – Schmeichel, Justin, Fofana, Soyuncu, Castagne, Mendy, Maddison, Tielemans, Dewsbury-Hall, Lookman and Daka
INJURIES OR SUSPENSIONS – Ndidi, Bertrand, Soumare.
TOTTENHAM VS LEICESTER CITY: BETTING ODDS
