Leicester vs Tottenham Prediction & Betting tips
Saturday afternoon, the match between Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur is scheduled at the King Power Stadium. Both teams have eight points and are therefore in the top of the Premier League. To keep the connection with Liverpool and Manchester City, among others, The Foxes and the Spurs only settle for a profit party this weekend.
Leicester City:
After four games without defeat, Leicester City fell for the first time in the Premier League last weekend. The Foxes played an away game at Manchester United and left the field with a 1-0 defeat after Marcus Rashford took the home team’s lead from eleven meters in just eight minutes. In the more than eighty minutes thereafter, Leicester City had plenty of chances on the equalizer, but the team of Brendan Rodgers was unable to score on Old Trafford. Leicester has now lost eight of the last nine meetings with Manchester United at Old Trafford. Because of the loss, The Foxes still have eight points and they are still neatly in fifth place.
Rodgers was appointed by Leicester City last season to replace the fired Claude Puel and 46-year-old Rodgers achieved excellent results with Leicester City. That was already the case in the last months of the previous season and that line has taken the former defender to the current season. However, Leicester City will probably go down some places in the rankings in the coming months, because The Foxes simply have much less material than the top 6 teams and have to compete with the Evertons of this world.
Tottenham Hotspur:
Tottenham Hotspur is in third place in the Premier League. The Spurs already have seven points less than Liverpool and after five games Manchester City also has two points more than the formation of Mauricio Pochettino, who took eight points with the Spurs. That Tottenham Hotspur is third is the club from North London thanks to the goal difference, because Manchester United, Leicester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and West Ham United have all collected eight points in the first five games. The Spurs have already suffered damage in the league matches with Manchester City (2-2), Newcastle United (0-1) and Arsenal (2-2).
Averij also ran Tottenham Hotspur this week in the Champions League game at Olympiakos Piraeus: 2-2. In Greece, the Spurs were leading 0-2 within thirty minutes by goals from Harry Kane (penalty) and Lucas Moura, but just before and after halftime, Hugo Lloris was passed twice by the Greek team. In addition to Olympiakos, Tottenham is in a pool with Bayern Munich and Red Star Belgrade, so we can state that the draw in the Greek Piraeus does not have to immediately cause despair at the Spurs. At Tottenham Hotspur, they get desperate from away games in the Premier League; the men of Pochettino won none of the last matches in the competition.
