Leicester – Tottenham: Predictions and betting tips

On January 19, the postponed match of the 17th round of the English Premier League 2021/22 between Leicester and Tottenham will take place. Bookmaker Rating thinks both teams will score.

Stadium: King Power (Leicester)
Referee: Jonathan Moss.

Losses
Leicester City: Castagne (?), Vardy, Soumare, Iheanacho, Ndidi, Amarti, Evans, Pereira, Brentrand, Mendy, Fofana.
Tottenham: Dyer (?), Son, Romero.

Team Form
Leicester missed the last-round match due to the outbreak of covid in the Burnley camp, but the Foxes themselves have many injured and left for the Africa Cup. Therefore, the postponement of the match even benefited them. Leicester has more or less started to pick up points lately, which brings them closer to the European Cup zone. Only one point separates them from seventh place according to the lost ones. And they somehow won the last meeting in the Premier League against Liverpool, then in the FA Cup, they also banged Watford 4:1, so there are chances for Rogers to compete for the top 7.

Tottenham Hotspur is in third place overall. Spurs have had a bunch of transfers, allowing them to have four games ahead of Chelsea and West Ham. Yes, helpless defeats from the same Chelsea in the League Cup matches (0:2 and 0:1) are alarming, but this is a different tournament; it is obvious that Conte is betting on reaching the Champions League. The absence of trophies from the “spurs” does not bother the Italian specialist. Although Tottenham still takes part in the FA Cup.

Betting tips
The bookmakers quote Tottenham as the favorite, which is quite logical. Leicester has many injuries, and several key players left for the African Cup. These factors allow Conte’s team to claim victory, but remember that this is an unstable Tottenham. Anything can be expected from this team.

As for the handicap, here you can consider 0.5 at Tottenham for 2.25. Spurs have won six of the last ten head-to-head meetings. And given Leicester’s losses, their chances of winning are slightly less, despite the unpredictability of both teams.

Leicester has been wildly productive this season, especially in recent games. Total over 3.5 and “both teams to score” played eight times. The Foxes scored more than one goal in the same number of games.

Tottenham concedes relatively little: the opponent’s individual total over 1.5 passed only two times out of ten. Conte’s team lost only two matches in the same segment.

You can bet on “both teams to score” with a coefficient of 1.66.

Leicester’s defense hints that they may well miss Kane and company.
This is not Liverpool; you can not give the best match of the season. All trends speak for productive football. There is only one obstacle – Antonio Conte, who adheres to the original Italian principles, emphasizing defense. But there is a feeling that the reckless Leicester will be able to rock him too. At least for mutual goals for 1.6.
