The Foxes will be too much for Gillingham to handle, hence expecting Leicester City to head into the break in command of the game.
Gillingham are hard to score against despite occupying the last position in League Two. However, they are unlikely to be firm at the back against a Premier League side, hence expecting this fixture to exceed two goals.
Because I think Leicester City are going to win the first half, I’ve backed them to maintain their lead until the last whistle.
to win halftime and avoid losing in the second half.
Gillingham are at the bottom of the League Two table and that’s because their attack is blunt. They have lost their last four league matches. In total, they have scored only seven goals and have just 14 points to show after 23 matches.
The Foxes continued their drastic form on Wednesday when they lost 1-0 to Fulham at the King Power Stadium. They have lost their last three league matches but they are somewhat clear of the relegation zone in 13th with 17 points after 18 matches.
Because the League Two outfits are out of ideas in the final third, we expect Leicester City to do the scoring. The Foxes are the favourites, hence they should win this game easily.
It’s a stretch but Leicester City to win by a four-goal margin should be on the cards.
Back Leicester City to qualify. It’s one of the safest options to pick on this game.
