Premier League: Leicester City vs. Arsenal Preview, Odds, Predictions

Leicester hosts Arsenal at the Kings Power stadium on Saturday, and this game will be one of the most interesting in the English Premier League round 25. These two teams play enjoyable and efficient football with plenty of goals and are both under pressure to win. Leicester to move away from the relegation zone, while Arsenal is to keep its edge over Manchester City in the title race. We’ve often seen spectacles once these two clubs meet, and we hope to witness that again this weekend. 

Preview

Leicester City (+375) is four points away from the relegation zone and has played solid over the past few weeks despite its recent loss in Manchester against United. The Foxes stumbled upon a team in excellent shape, playing at home, and they really couldn’t do much better.

A 3-0 loss at Trafford was the first for this team after four in a row without a defeat. After a draw against Brighton, they beat Walsall in the FA Cup, before routing Aston Villa in Birmingham and Tottenham at home. 

Four of their five previous events were with at least three goals, and it seems that after a few boring matches, the Foxes are back on track regarding efficiency. The same stats are recorded at Kings Power, four in the past five with over 2.5 scores. 

Arsenal (-115) broke the negative streak in Aston Villa, following a tense and dramatic ending which saw them netting twice inside the injury time. The final score was 2-4 for the Gunners. To make it even better for them, Man City slipped in Nottingham, and they now have two points more than the Citizens.

Previously, Arsenal couldn’t win in four consecutive events, losing three of them (two against City) and having one draw. Their defense has been highly unstable throughout that period. Overall, the Gunners are without a clean sheet in the past six contests. 

Talking about their away games, Mikel Arteta and the boys lost only one EPL game in the last six, winning the remaining five, which is an excellent record.

Ryan Bertrand, Jonny Evans, and James Justin are all our for hosts.

On the other side, Thomas Partey is questionable, while Elneny and Jesus are still out. The Brazilian’s return is approaching, according to the latest news. 

Head to Head Games

The first game of the season was in London at the Emirates, and Arsenal triumphed 4-2. They have four consecutive victories over the Foxes, and in each one of them, the Gunners delivered at least two goals. 

They are also dominant at Kings Power, with three wins in a row, in two not allowing a single 

Prediction

Leicester is offensive-minded at home and always tries to break the rivals through the offense. Arsenal’s defense isn’t as sharp as it used to be in the past, but the offense is way better than the Foxes’ back line. That’s why we believe that betting on both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals is the most logical pick in this event. The odds on that are -110, and this pick has a good value. 

Pick: Both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals -110
