Betting on Leicester
Even though Leicester is in the middle of the standings, they still feel vulnerable, as they are only 3 points above the bottom. Brendan Rodgers has been unable to motivate the Foxes, who have suffered three losses in their last five games, the most recent of which was an incredible loss to Liverpool thanks to two own goals from Wout Faes.
The team has now two consecutive losses against teams at the top of the table. The calendar is starting to get a little calmer, but facing these games with consecutive defeats is definitely bad for the team’s morale and rhythm.
The two players who have changed Leicester’s offensive are James Maddison and Harvey Barnes. Varnes has six goals, compared to Maddison’s seven goals and three assists. It is crucial that they win here, at home, where they have only two victories in eight games.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Danny Ward, Timothy Castagne, Daniel Amartey, Wout Faes, Luke Thomas, Wilfred Ndidi, Boubakary Soumaré; Ayoze Perez, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Harvey Barnes, Patson Daka.
Betting on Fulham
With victories over Crystal Palace on December 26 by a score of 0-3, and Southampton on December 31, they ended the year on a high note. Since they are now in seventh place, one point below Brentford and three points behind Liverpool, the plan is to start 2023 with three consecutive victories and to keep moving up the standings.
Aleksandar Mitrovic is in top form with 10 goals to his name and is leading the attack of the Cottagers who are having a great season. They are a fairly serious side that is making a comeback in England’s top divisions: after being in the EFL Championship last season, Fulham are surprisingly looking for a way into the Conference or even Europa League.
Additionally, they have won 2 of their past 3 road games.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Bernd Leno, Kenny Tete, Tim Ream, Antonee Robinson, Palhninha, Harrison Reed, Bobby Reid, Andreas Pereira, Willian, Alexsandr Mitrovic
JefeBet Prediction
Given that Mitrovic is nearly flying in the area, and that Fulham is more focused than their opponents, we believe they will prevail in this match. Meanwhile, Leicester will keep dragging the burden of an unfortunate season.
Prediction: Leicester 0-1 Fulham
