Leicester City Watford betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match is the occurrence of few goals. Leicester City has dropped a lot of offensive income in the final rounds, especially in the home games, having scored only 2 goals in the last 3 games, while Watford has a great quality defense in the away games , which is among the competition's least leaked. In addition, none of Watford's last five away matches have had more than 2 goals on the board, as it tends to play very tightly, but leaves few spaces for the home teams. Given these factors, we believe in a more closed, low-offensive game and a maximum of 2 goals scored and if there are 3, the investment will be returned.

Preview
Leicester City and Watford face at King Power Stadium, in a match for the 14th round of the Premier League. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 3 wins and 1 draw in the last 4 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 20‑01‑2018, in a match for the Premier League, Leicester City won by (2‑0). The goals of the match were scored by J. Vardy (39' ) and R. Mahrez (90' ) for Leicester City. The home advantage may play an important role in this match , since Leicester City presents significant differences between home and away results.

Analysis Leicester

The home team is currently in the 10th position of the league, with 18 points won, after 5 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Burnley, by (0‑0). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Brighton & Hove Albion, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 27 goals scored and 26 conceded; against 4 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 18 goals scored and 14 conceded. They come to this match after a home win against Southampton by (6‑5), after a penalty shootout. For the league, Leicester City won 8 points out of 18 possible points, after 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in the last 6 home matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 8 of their 13 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 9 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 3 of their 6 goals between minutes (0'‑15').

Leicester City is campaigning less than expected in the English Premier League, has won only 1 of the last 6 games and is looking for a recovery to move away from the bad phase. The team needs to increase both offensive and defensively, having scored 18 goals, being only the ninth best attack of the competition, and suffered 17 goals, having the ninth less leaked defense, although it is worth noting that it has been improving defensively and conceded only 2 goals in the last 4 rounds. Considering the home matches Leicester City has not won for 3 games, having drawn 2 and lost 1 and it is worth mentioning that the team scored only 2 goals in these 3 matches, needing to create more and conclude with better quality. For the game against Watford, coach Claude Puel will not be able to count on midfielder Maddison for suspension and the rest of the team should remain the same as the last round.

Confirmed Lineup: Kasper Schmeichel, Ricardo Pereira, Ben Chilwell, Wes Morgan, Jonny Evans, Wilfred Ndidi, Demarai Gray, Nampalys Mendy, James Maddison, Marc Albrighton, Jamie Vardy.
Coach: B. Rodgers.

Analysis Watford

The away team is currently in the 9th position of the league, with 20 points won, after 6 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Southampton, by (1‑1). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Liverpool, by (0‑3). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 22 goals scored and 18 conceded. In the last 6 away league matches Watford has a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 8 points out of 18 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 17 of the last 25 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 13 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 9 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 5 of their 8 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Watford has dropped of income in the last few games, has not won for 3 rounds, lost 2 and drawn 1 and is looking for a recovery to try to get close to the fight for next season's European competition. The team has only average numbers in both the offensive and defensive sectors, as it has scored 17 goals, being the tenth best attack of the competition, and it suffered 17 goals, having the ninth defense less leaked, needing to yield more in both, if it wants to fight in the top of the qualifying table. Playing away from home, such as this Saturday's match, Watford has been very uneven, but its defense usually works well, conceded only 6 goals in 6 games, having the fifth less leaked defense in this type of situation and it is worth noting that none of the last 5 games had more than 2 goals on the scoreboard. For the confrontation against Leicester City, coach Javi Gracia has no problems in the team that has been working in the last rounds and should repeat the starting 11 of the last game.

Confirmed Lineup: Ben Foster, Kiko Femenía, José Holebas, Adrian Mariappa, Craig Cathcart, Abdoulaye Doucouré, Will Hughes, Étienne Capoue, Roberto Pereyra, Isaac Success, Gerard Deulofeu.
Coach: S. Bilić.
