Prediction for Premier League match – Leicester vs Brentford

Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Leicester to Win – 2.15

Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Over 1.5 Leicester Team Goals – 2.0

Leicester City to Win

Leicester lost convincingly at Arsenal last time out, though the Foxes have found form at home where they have been beaten just once in 11 matches in all competitions. On Sunday, they are targeting their fourth straight victory at the King Power Stadium and City can push for maximum points against an uninspiring Brentford outfit.

Over 1.5 Leicester Team Goals

While successive wins over rivals Norwich and Burnley have allayed relegation worries for now, Brentford are still conceding far too many goals, especially on the road, where their defences have been breached at least twice in nine of their last ten Premier League assignments. Leicester have players that can hurt the Bees all over the pitch and the Foxes are available at strong 2.0 odds to net over 1.5 times against them on Sunday.

Preliminary review and match prediction for Leicester vs Brentford

Brentford landed a pair of potentially pivotal blows in the battle for Premier League survival in their last brace of outings with wins over the division’s bottom two, Norwich City and Burnley, though a test against Leicester on Sunday should be a tougher one.

All things considered, the 2021/22 campaign has been a disastrous one for the Foxes, who are languishing in the league’s bottom half instead of challenging for a top six finish under increasingly unpopular boss Brendan Rodgers.

Rodgers of course, led Leicester City to FA Cup glory for the first time in he club’s history just a year ago, though that triumph looks more and more like the zenith for his young team and not the start of something special.

With just two victories from their last eight Premier League fixtures, Leicester’s domestic form has been patchy to say the least, though they have a chance to pad out their light-looking “win” column this weekend. The Foxes were also able to secure their progress to the next round of the Europa Conference League on Thursday evening at Rennes’ expense, which should offer another much-needed confidence boost.

Recent win over Norwich at Carrow Road aside, Brentford’s form on the road has been rotten and their nine-match stretch without success before that included a run of five straight defeats and buckets of goals conceded.

The Bees have been wielding less sting than a faulty nettle and Leicester – who have lost just once in nine games at the King Power Stadium in all comps – should have the edge over their fragile visitors on Sunday.

Safe Bets

With Brentford’s away record showing just a single win from ten attempts since October, Leicester are our favourites to win on Sunday, though cautious bettors might like the extra insurance that draw no bet has to offer. At 1.53, backing Leicester in that market still holds plenty of value, though your stake will be returned if the contest finishes all square.

Get Quick Rich

Leicester have been building momentum at home in recent weeks, however, with defensive injuries still an issue, they’ve struggled to keep clean sheets. Indeed, the Foxes have shut out their visitors in just three of their last 12 Premier League home matches and as a result, coupling a home win with both teams to score at 4.2 could be worth your consideration for a meatier option.

Leicester vs Brentford first goalscorer

With Jamie Vardy injured, Leicester’s attack is missing its focal point, though winger Harvey Barnes has been doing his best to fill the goalscoring void from the flanks. With three goals in his last six appearances, the 24-year-old has been as prolific as anyone else in City’s ranks and Barnes looks a solid option to get his team up and running on Sunday at whopping 10.0 odds

Leicester vs Brentford Team News

Timothy Castagne, Jonny Evans, Jamie Vardy, Danny Ward and Ryan Bertrand are all out injured for Leicester this weekend. Wesley Fofana returned to the fold on Thursday evening against Rennes and he could feature at the back.

Joshua Dasilva, Tarique Fosu and Julian Jeanvier are all in the treatment room for Brentford. Manager Thomas Frank could keep faith with the same XI that beat Burnley 2-0 last time out.

Starting Lineups

 Leicester City: Schmeichel – Ricardo Pereira, Fofana, Soyuncu, Thomas – Ndidi, Mendy – Albrighton, Maddison, Barnes – Iheanacho

Brentford: David Raya – Ajer, Jansson, Pinnock, Henry – Mbuemo, Janelt, Norgaard, Eriksen, Sergi Canos – Toney

Highlighted Player

Christian Eriksen

Danish midfielder and comeback king Christian Eriksen bagged his first assist for Brentford following his arrival at the club when the schemer picked out Ivan Toney last weekend and the 30-year-old will be out to part defences with his passing again on Sunday.
