Leeds United vs. Leicester City Betting Preview
Leeds United
Leeds has had a difficult year in the Premier League. They were tipped for a top-half finish before the campaign began, but their season has never really taken off.
Wisconsin-born Jesse Marsch was sacked in February after a bad run of form saw Leeds slip towards the bottom three. Former Watford and Valencia boss Javi Gracia took over later in the month.
The Whites picked up a massive three points against fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest in early April, though three straight defeats have followed. Leeds lost 5-1 to Crystal Palace and 6-1 to Liverpool before suffering a narrow 2-1 reverse at Fulham last time out.
Leeds is in a precarious position in the current EPL standings, so three points on Tuesday is a must. Keep reading for our Leeds United vs Leicester City picks and predictions.
Leicester City
Like Leeds, Leicester also sacked their head coach recently. Brendan Rodgers was relieved of his duties at the King Power Stadium on April 2, with Dean Smith being appointed in April.
Smith’s first game was a testing one, as the Foxes lost 3-1 at champions Manchester City. However, they secured a vital victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers last time out, with Kelechi Iheanacho and Timothy Castagne getting the goals.
Prior to that, Leicester had gone ten league and cup matches without a win, losing nine and drawing one. Their last Premier League success was against Tottenham Hotspur on February 11.
The Leicester Premier League stats have been terrible of late, but last weekend’s win was a huge step in the right direction. Can they follow that up with another crucial three points here?
Our Leeds United vs Leicester City picks are below.
Leeds United vs. Leicester City Betting Picks
Leeds and Leicester City have had Premier League seasons to forget. Both EPL teams should be nowhere near the bottom three, but the pair have massively underachieved so far.
Staying up is imperative, and this will no doubt be a tight and tense tussle at Elland Road. A point each would not be a bad outcome for either, and we are backing the teams to cancel each other out in Yorkshire.
- Leeds will be desperate to end this poor three-game losing streak, and you can get the tempting Premier League odds of +333 for the draw and both teams to score.
- Do not expect many goals in this cagey contest. Take a punt on the tie and under 2.5 goals at +375.
