Bournemouth vs Leicester Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 27th February 2024

This will be the first time that Bournemouth face Leicester lately, as the teams have not shared a spot in the same division in this century.

The match on Tuesday has all the makings of a tight battle as Bournemouth and The Foxes look to bag a crucial win in the process.

Bournemouth scored 2.2 goals on average in their past ten matches, hitting the target 22 times. They conceded 15 goals, an average of 1.5 and pulled off two clean sheets.

When it comes to goal-scoring The Foxes are not the most prolific side. They scored a sustainable 19 times in their previous ten matches, making it 1.9 goals per game. They conceded ten goals for an average of one a game, achieving a clean sheet in five of these matches.

This is the first time Bournemouth squares up against Leicester in the FA Cup in the 21st century, thus both face a whole new experience of coming up against an unknown opponent.

Bournemouth vs Leicester Prediction

Bournemouth Form

A draw is the best Bournemouth can show from their last three games, where they came up short in a 3-1 defeat against Fulham. A2-2 draw with Newcastle followed before they were defeated 0-1 by Manchester City. Bournemouth won three of their previous six matches at Vitality Stadium in the FA Cup. They drew zero and suffered three defeats, scoring 13 goals to ten against.

Leicester Form

In their last three matches, Leicester won 2-0 win against Sheffield Wednesday, lost 1-2 against Middlesbrough and lost 3-1 against Leeds. Leicester recorded no less than five in their previous six FA Cup away matches, as well losing once and drawing none. They hit the target ten themselves while allowing seven goals against.

Leicester and Bournemouth seem to find it tough getting their defensively lines in order, as they both concede too many goals. We hope the trend continues on Tuesday, as we aim for both teams to score.
