Leicester City Sheffield United betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This game brings us nothing new, with the match trend to be a Leicester City’s triumph, against an opponent who is far from the ideal performance at this stage of the season. Nevertheless, the two teams are going through something in common, that is, they usually score and suffer several goals. In this way, and taking into account these factors, to risk in favor of the market “over 2.5 goals” is full of value.

Leicester City and Sheffield United meet at King Power Stadium, in a match for this stage of the FA Cup (5th Round). The only recent head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 22‑08‑2017, and ended in a (1‑4) win by Leicester City. Leicester City registers significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth special attention.

Analysis Leicester

The home team comes to this stage of the FA Cup (5th Round) after having eliminated: Peterborough United and Fleetwood Town. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 22 goals scored and 22 conceded; against 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 15 conceded. In their last match, for the Premier League, they got an away loss against Manchester City by (5‑1). In the last 10 home matches Leicester City has won 5, tied 2 and lost 3. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, as 27 of the last 28 have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Leicester City comes for this match after a heavy defeat at Manchester City's ground by 5-1, adding up to their third straight match without proving the taste of victory. Curiously, the team's last triumph was in the FA Cup, when they beat Peterborough by 1-5. In this home match, the coach Claude Puel should keep the team in 3-5-2 privileging the ball possession and the attacks organized through the flanks. However, in some moments of the match they should act in a more direct way. Jamie Vardy is Leicester City's best scorer with 14 scored goals in several competitions. For this match, the home team’s coach won’t count on the injured Wes Morgan.

Confirmed Lineup: Kasper Schmeichel, Danny Simpson, Ben Chilwell, Wes Morgan, Harry Maguire, Iborra, Demarai Gray, Wilfred Ndidi, Riyad Mahrez, Jamie Vardy, Kelechi Iheanacho.
Coach: B. Rodgers.

Sheffield United comes for this match after a 2-1 home triumph against Leeds, returning to triumphs after two straight defeats in official matches. In the last round of the FA Cup, the visiting team passed the Preston North End without any problems.
