Betting on Leicester
Leicester had a brief resurgence that took them away from the relegation zone, but their heavy defeat last week will be hard to forget as they prepare to face the league leaders.
The loss to Manchester United not only ended their three-game unbeaten streak, but also left them in 14th place in the standings with just 24 points, only four points ahead of West Ham who currently occupy the final relegation spot.
The three goals conceded against United highlights Leicester’s main issue this season—their defense. Brendan Rodgers’ team have only managed six clean sheets, and their 41 goals conceded is the second-highest in the Premier League.
Despite having the eighth-best attack in the league with 36 goals, Leicester’s high number of goals conceded has negated their attacking prowess. Prior to being held scoreless by Manchester United, they had scored ten goals in three games.
Furthermore, Leicester is the second-worst team in the league when playing at home, having earned just 12 points out of a possible 33. In 11 home matches, they have only managed to win three times, while on four occasions they have allowed their opponents to score at least two goals.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Danny Ward; Timothy Castagne, Harry Souttar, Wout Faes, Victor Kristiansen; Youri Tielemans, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall; Tete, James Maddison, Harvey Barnes; Kelechi Iheanacho.
Betting on Arsenal F.C.
Arsenal reclaimed their position at the top of the Premier League table with a last-minute victory over Aston Villa, after losing it the previous week with a defeat to Manchester City. The Gunners’ two stoppage-time goals earned them three points, taking their tally to 54 points for the season, two more than City and with one game in hand.
The win also ended Arsenal’s three-game winless run, and with an eight-point lead over City, Mikel Arteta’s team will have to avoid any further mistakes to maintain their lead.
The team is the second-lowest team in the league regarding goals allowed with 23 goals conceded in 23 games. Moreover, Arsenal’s 51 goals scored is the second-highest total in the Premier League, just behind City’s 60.
Furthermore, Arsenal are the best away team in the league, having earned 28 points out of a possible 36, with only two defeats on the road. They have scored 24 goals in their away games, the highest figure in the league, and have conceded just nine goals, the second-lowest total.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Aaron Ramsdale; Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel, Oleksandr Zinchenko; Martin Odegaard, Jorginho, Granit Xhaka; Bukayo Saka, Eddie Nketiah, Gabriel Martinelli.
JefeBet Prediction
Both teams will be eager to secure a win as a draw would be of no benefit to either side.
While Leicester could potentially settle for a point against the league leaders, dropping points at home would not help their desperate bid to avoid relegation.
On the other hand, Arsenal have the opportunity to maintain their lead over Manchester City and close the gap to just five points before City plays their postponed game against Everton on March 1.
Arsenal is the stronger team heading into this match, having won five of their last six encounters against Leicester. The Foxes have numerous defensive issues, and they have already experienced Arsenal’s attacking prowess in their previous 4-2 defeat on matchday 2.
Prediction: Arsenal to win (LEI 1 – ARS 3).
