Leicester City

LLLWLL

Leicester City won’t want a repeat of their last result here following the 2-0 Premier League loss in their previous game against Nottingham Forest.

In that match, Leicester City had 61% possession and 6 attempts on goal with 1 on target. At the other end, Nottingham Forest got 15 shots on goal with 5 on target. Brennan Johnson (56', 85') scored for Nottingham Forest.

An interesting characteristic of more recent Leicester City games is the high number of scores with a nil in them.

Taking their prior sextet of matches before this one, in as many as 5 of them a bet on BTTS would have been a losing one.
