Leicester – Statistics & current form
In addition to the, as described, currently harmless offense, the team of coach Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was still on the bench of the upcoming opponent in the first half of the season, also has a leaky defense, the condition of which has recently deteriorated again. Looking back at their last five league games, the Foxes have conceded no fewer than 13 goals.
At the same time, the hosts have failed to score a single goal in any of them! In view of this record, the betting odds for more than just an away win for the guests to nil are worth considering in the showdown between Leicester and Manchester United.
Leicester are facing their seventh straight home defeat.
The team from the King Power Stadium cannot count on a home bonus either, having lost their last six matches at home, and the 2016 champions are currently in third-to-last place in the Premier League home ranking.
Furthermore, home defeats often go hand in hand with being behind at half-time. More than half (five) of the nine home defeats this season were associated with this course of play. The attack is also a problem, and not just since the last five league games without a goal. Only Southampton, bottom of the league, have scored fewer goals in the PL!
Manchester United – Statistics & current form
The English record champions are currently very busy. This week, the guests already played in the Europa League. The second leg of the round of 16 against Real Sociedad was scheduled. After a 1-1 draw in the first leg, United won comfortably 4-1 to book their place in the next round.
The man of the match was Bruno Fernandes, who scored a hat-trick and underlined his status as currently the sharpest weapon in Manchester’s offense: the Portuguese has scored five of United’s last seven goals in their last four competitive games!
In the domestic league, however, things are not going well for United this season. After 28 rounds, the visitors are only in 14th place in the table. The season is more or less over for them, as there is little danger of relegation, but at the same time they are far from qualifying for the international competitions.
United are on an upward curve
At least their away offense has improved recently. Coach Ruben Amorim’s side have scored five of their first 13 league goals of the season on their footballing trips in the last four away games.
In view of this and, above all, the glaring weakness of the upcoming opponent at home, the odds for an away win with at least two goals difference in the clash between Leicester and Manchester United are just as recommendable.
The prediction is also supported by the fact that the guests have already won three times against Leicester this season in all competitions, with a goal difference of 10:3! In two of the three matches, United also ended up winning by at least two goals.
Leicester – Manchester United Head to head / H2H record
The teams last met in the FA Cup just over a month ago. That match, in the round of 16, ended in a 2-1 victory for United, albeit only a lucky one, as the decisive winning goal was not scored until the third minute of injury time.
Thanks to this victory, the visitors have a streak of five wins in a row against City! From this point of view, it can also be deduced why the Leicester against Manchester United odds of the bookmakers suggest another defeat for the home side.
Leicester – Manchester United Tip
