Leicester City – Chelsea, Premier League Prediction

Leicester were overwhelmed by Villa’s loss in the League Cup semifinals this week. So for the Foxes there is only one tournament, the FA Cup, as well as the battle for the top 4 in England. This match is one of the deciding ones, as Chelsea are fourth. Leicester has had some fluctuations in the last game. Certain teams were able to counter them, and the form of the team declined slightly, but Leicester continues to record good results overall.

The situation at Chelsea is much more complicated. The Blues have difficulties with the fact that Lampard imposes different models of play and this happens every game. Of course, this young squad needs time to be able to act properly and to fully execute their coach’s instructions, but there is also a danger here of something like what happened to Emery and Arsenal. We think Lampard won’t allow it, though.

 Expert view : We expect goals in this match because Leicester should not have a hard time scoring on this Chelsea squad. It is logical to have an early goal from the foxes, after which the match becomes quite open. Chelsea have been accustomed to allowing elementary goals lately and this was evident in the match against Arsenal. At the same time, both teams have a stellar attack, so our prediction is Over 2.5 goals at 1.66.

4 of Leicester’s last 5 games have been over 2.5 goals

7 of Chelsea’s last 10 away appearances are over 2.5 goals
