Leicester vs Norwich Prediction & Betting tips
Leicester City is currently unstoppable. In the seventeenth round of the Premier League, the team of Brendan Rodgers will take on PhD candidate Norwich City. Will Leicester City manage to win three points in a row for the ninth competition in a row?
Leicester City:
Rodgers is in second place in the Premier League with Leicester City and The Foxes deserve nothing but praise for their achievements. After sixteen games, Leicester City has already collected six points more than current champion Manchester City and the lead over a club like Manchester United, for example, is no less than fourteen points. At the moment, Leicester City is firmly in the top 4 of the Premier League and Champions League qualification has suddenly become a realistic goal for Leicester just before the turn of the year.
Of the sixteen games, Leicester City lost only two in the Premier League. As a comparison: Manchester United and Manchester City both went down four times in sixteen games. Moreover, Leicester City won the last eight league matches and in between Burton Albion (1-3) was also eliminated in the battle for the Carabao Cup. Last Sunday, Rodgers saw that his team with 1-4 was too strong for Aston Villa. At Villa Park, Jamie Vardy, currently the Premier League scorer, was twice accurate, making Vardy the first Premier League player since November 2015 to find eight league games in a row. The predecessor of Vardy? That is Vardy himself who was accurate in eleven consecutive matches in the Leicester City champion year.
Norwich City:
At Norwich City they probably do not have the illusion that there is something to be gained on Saturday afternoon at the King Power Stadium. The Canaries have 26 points less than Leicester City and Daniel Farke is under the relegation line with Norwich City. The German manager managed to collect only eleven points in sixteen games with his team. Norwich City only has two points more than Watford, but the gap with the teams above the red line is four points. Norwich City is, together with Watford, the top favorite to finish in the bottom three this season.
Norwich City came into action in the Premier League last Wednesday and last Sunday. Both duels were lost to Farke and his team. Southampton was 2-1 too strong on Wednesday and four days later Sheffield United won 1-2 against Norwich City. On Carrow Road, Norwich City took the lead against fellow doctoral student Sheffield United by a goal from the Norwegian Alexander Tettey, but just after half-time goalkeeper Tim Krul was passed twice by two defenders of Sheffield United. The Canaries won only one of the last eleven Premier League games and hope to visit Leicester City for a miracle.
