Tip and bets
Leicester are not looking great in the domestic league, so it might be a smart move to sacrifice the Conference League to focus on English Premier League. Foxes are in a dangerous situation in there and they need to improve the situation as soon as possible. Randers played the latest official match a long time ago, but they prepared for the Conference League on training camp. Danish side is a tricky opponent for any team, Randers will fight until the end.
We are expecting a quick start from the hosts - Leicester will try to earn a solid handicap before the second match. But during the group stage, Randers suffered only one defeat and they will fight hard for a positive result. We think that visitors are more motivationed for that tournament and that motivation will help them to put up a solid performance.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (+1.5) for Randers
Englishmen had some problems with creating chances in recent matches. Danish side has a quality defensive line, so they are unlikely to make many mistakes. In our opinion, battle will mostly take place in the middle of the pitch, so we are not expecting many goals.
Our second bet is on total under three goals
