Betting on Leicester City F.C.
The new year doesn’t appear to have helped Leicester change its spirit, as it has maintained the same horrible style fo play with which it finished 2021. The team heads into this game after a fourth consecutive league loss in a row, and nowthey remain dangerously close to the relegation zone, just two points behind.
The team led by experienced coach Brendan Rodgers is coming off a 2-0 defeat to an inspired and newly promoted Nottingham Forest last matchday. That matchup also marked the fourth time in their last six games in all competitions that the Foxes have failed to find the net. This is very odd if we consider that they are the team, along with Leeds, in the bottom ten in the standings that has scored the most goals so far (26).
One of Leicester’s biggest problems this season has been their inability to record positive results at the King Power Stadium, where they have won just two of the nine matches they have played (2 wins, 2 draws, 5 defeats).
Possible Leicester City lineup (4-2-3-1): Danny Ward; Timothy Castagne, Daniel Amartey, Wout Faes, Luke Thomas; Wilfred Ndidi, Nampalys Mendy; Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Youri Tielemans, Harvey Barnes; Patson Daka.
Betting on Brighton & Hove Albion F.C.
Things have been very different for Brighton, who are in the middle of a dream season. The team has kept a high level even after the departure of their previous manager, Graham Potter, and is still deep in the fight for European competitions, with only six points separating them from the last Europa League place – not to mention they have at least one game less than their main rivals.
Led by Roberto De Zerbi, the Seagulls registered a historic 3-0 victory over Liverpool last time out, with Salomon March scoring the first two goals early in the second half and Danny Welbeck rounding off the scoring in the 81st minute. That victory was their fourth one in their last five official matches, scoring at least three goals in each of those victories..
That impressive recent attacking power has led Brighton to be the fourth highest-scoring team in the Premier League, and they have scored the second most goals away from home so far this campaign (19), second only to leaders Arsenal (20).
Possible Brighton lineup (4-2-3-1): Robert Sanchez; Pascal Gross, Lewis Dunk, Levi Colwill, Pelvis Estupinan; Moises Caicedo, Alexis Mac Allister; Solomon March, Adam Lallana, Kaoru Mitoma; Danny Welbeck.
JefeBet Prediction
Brighton’s attacking momentum is impressive, and this will be a wonderful opportunity to sustain that performance against a Leicester squad that scored five goals in their previous meeting, and that has failed to keep a clean sheet in five of its last six matches in all competitions..
However, Brighton have also been somewhat permissive on their side of the pitch, especially when they are on the road, conceding 15 goals in 9 matches played. In this way, this should also be a good opportunity for the home offense to redeem itself, even more so considering that it has scored in their last seven meetings against each other.
Seven of Brighton’s nine away games have seen both teams score, something that has also occurred in the last five meetings between these teams. So, taking into account the defensive shortcomings of both sides and Brighton’s great attacking momentum, we expect both to be able to get on the scoreboard here.
Prediction: Both teams score (LEI 1- BHA 2).
