Leicester City vs Leeds Prediction

Leicester City form

In has been a bit of everything for Leicester City in their previous three matches, where they first beat Nottingham F. by 4-0. This was followed by a disappointing 2-1 defeat against Bournemouth, before an encounter with Crystal Palace produced a 0-0 draw. Leicester City claimed a modest two wins in their past six home matches in the Premier League. They also drew two and lost two, scored 11 goals and conceded six.

A mid-table finish seemed likely for Leicester City but in current form they could be dragged into a relegation battle.

Leeds Form

A draw is all that prevents Leeds from having nothing to show for their previous three games. They claimed a point in a 0-0 draw against Aston Villa before getting trounced against Crystal Palace by a 2-1 score. Last time out, more disappointment followed as Arsenal ran out 0-1 winners. Leeds claimed just one win from the last six away games in the Premier League. They also drew one and were defeated four times, as they were outscored by 13 goals to eight.

Leeds were expected to enter a dog-fight to avoid relegation, and their current position in the Premier League only underlines why.
