Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Full-Time Result – Tottenham to win – 2.38
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Correct Score – Leicester 1-2 Tottenham – 10.0
Tottenham Hotspur to win
Only runaway leaders Manchester City are on a longer unbeaten run than Spurs’ eight matches. All eight matches have been under Antonio Conte and have produced five wins and three draws.
Correct Score – Leicester City 1-2 Tottenham Hotspur
Leicester both score and concede a handful of goals usually. Leicester matches average 3.56 goals per game. However, Spurs under Conte have been tight defensively conceding just four goals in eight matches, while Harry Kane has started firing again with three goals in his last four Premier League games.
Preliminary review and match prediction for Leicester City vs Tottenham Hotspur
Leicester’s league form has been inconsistent lately with the Foxes never achieving the same result twice in a row in their last nine matches.
However, their last league match which was played on 28 December was a 1-0 victory over Liverpool which will have restored confidence after a 6-3 hammering by Manchester City two days earlier.
This will be the Foxes’ first league match in over three weeks with their only action in the meantime being a 4-1 FA Cup victory over Watford. Leicester should be well rested, but will they be too rested?
Should this game fit the pattern of so many of Leicester’s games this season, expect over 2.5 goals to come in priced at 1.8.
Spurs have been tight defensively all season but under previous boss Nuno Espirito Santo they also struggled to hit the back of the net.
Current boss, Antonio Conte, appears to have got the balance right as they are now conceding just 0.5 goals per game, while also scoring an improved 14 goals in his eight matches in charge so far for an average of 1.75 goals per game.
With Kane slowly starting to pull himself back into form, Spurs to score over 1.5 goals, priced at 2.1 looks a good bet.
Safe Bets
A safe bet for this match due to Leicester’s ability in front of goal and lack of ability at keeping the ball out of the net would be for both teams to score.
That is priced at 1.62 and has occurred in 67% of Leicester’s matches this season.
