Manchester City Leicester City betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This clash tends to be one of the most unbalanced in this round of the English Championship, as it puts face-to-face two teams that have been doing very different campaigns so far. While Manchester City is ahead of the competition, Leicester City is in eighth place. The home team has given a lot of space to the opponent, but it compensates this with a great offensive power, especially through the individual moves, the attacks by the sides, kicks from outside the area and set pieces. Leicester City also tends to attack from the flanks, and bets heavily on counterattacks, showing efficiency at the end. In this way, as we will have two teams that have good offensive power on the field, it is a good option to bet in a game with more goals than usual.

Analysis Man City

The home team is currently in the 1st position of the league, with 69 points won, after 22 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against West Bromwich Albion, by (3‑0). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Burnley, by (1‑1).

They have won the last 12 home matches and haven't lost any of the last 13 home matches for this competition. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 1‑0 (7 out of 13 matches). Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 12 of the last 13 for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 20 of the last 26 matches for the Premier League, they have reached half‑time in front in 16 of those 20 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 19 of them. In 26 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 5 times, but have turned the score around in 3.

Manchester City has this opportunity to add the thirteenth consecutive home victory in the Premier League, and to follow the extraordinary campaign it has been doing so far. In the last round, the team had a great performance, with a good volume of play and more than double the finishes of the opponent, but did not show much efficiency and only conquered a draw away from home against Burnley. The score registered in this match was somewhat unusual, since the team has the best attack of the competition, with an average of 2.84 goals scored per game, being also the one that finishes the most. Playing at home, the team owns the best campaign, and in this condition is one of only two that have not yet lost, next to Liverpool. The 4-3-3 should be the tactical system adopted for this duel, with some changes in the team of coach Guardiola.

Confirmed Lineup: Ederson Moraes, Kyle Walker, Nicolás Otamendi, Aymeric Laporte, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Fernandinho, Kevin De Bruyne, İlkay Gündoğan, Bernardo Silva, Sergio Agüero, Raheem Sterling.
Coach: J. Guardiola i Sala.

Analysis Leicester

The away team is currently in the 7th position of the league, with 37 points won, after 9 wins, 8 draws and 9 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Everton, by (2‑1). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Swansea City, by (1‑1). In the last 10 away league matches Leicester City has a record of 3 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 13 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 26 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 10 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Leicester City is not going through a major phase in the English Premier League but neither we can say the team faces a crisis as it has suffered only one defeat in the last five rounds. In its last clash, the team had more possession and finalized more than the opponent, but did not know to take advantage of the chances that it had, registering only a draw at home against Swansea City. Although it has not shown much offensive power in the llast rounds, the team still remains among the top seven attacks in the competition. One of the weaknesses of the team is the exchange of passes, which has the fifth worst average of hits. Playing away from home, the team won little more than 35% of the points played, and in this condition only failed to score goals on three occasions. It is likely that the coach will organize the team in 4-4-1-1, with Ndidi standing out in midfield.

Confirmed Lineup: Kasper Schmeichel, Ben Chilwell, Christian Fuchs, Harry Maguire, Aleksandar Dragović, Marc Albrighton, Matthew James, Adrien Silva, Wilfred Ndidi, Jamie Vardy, Fousseni Diabaté.
Coach: B. Rodgers.
