Tip and bets
Norwich haven't found their game yet and today the team will face a serious test. The hosts can't really compete with Leicester in terms of the individual skills of the performers, and the Foxes should win without any problems.
Our prediction - Leicester to win.
The opponents usually don't score a lot in head-to-head games, and we believe that 1 or 2 mistakes will decide the result of the match.
Second bet - total under 2.5 goals.
