Leicester vs Bournemouth: Premier League Match Prediction
In the last round, Leicester managed to score twice against Arsenal, but it wasn't enough for a win. Meanwhile, Bournemouth comfortably defeated Southampton and will look to challenge another newcomer to the Premier League on October 5. How will this match unfold and what betting options should you consider? Read on for our predictions.
Command Analysis
Leicester City
EnglandCurrent Form
Leicester City has yet to secure a victory after six matches. With only three points, the Foxes sit in 17th place, just above the relegation zone based on goal difference ahead of Crystal Palace. In their last match, Steve Cooper's team managed to score twice against Arsenal but conceded four, losing 4-2. Notably, the team's goal-scoring tally of eight goals is commendable for a side struggling at the bottom. However, their defense has shown consistent lapses, which cost them wins against Crystal Palace (2-2) and Everton (1-1).
Injuries and Suspensions
Due to injuries, Daka, Vestergaard, and Stolarczyk will miss today's match.
Interesting Betting Trends
- Leicester has conceded first in five of their last six Premier League matches
- They have not won the first half in four of their last five games
Projected Lineup: Hermansen – Justin, Faes, Okolie, Kristiansen – Winks, Skipp – Ayew, Ndidi, Mavididi – Vardy.
AFC Bournemouth
EnglandCurrent Form
In their last outing, Bournemouth easily defeated Southampton at home with a score of 3-1, scoring all three goals in the first half. This victory ended a disappointing run of two consecutive losses. With eight points, the Cherries sit in 11th place in the Premier League, reinforcing their position as a solid mid-table team. Notably, Lewis Cook had an impressive performance, providing two assists in the match against the Saints.
Injuries and Suspensions
The only player unavailable for today's match is the injured Adams.
Interesting Betting Trends
- In six of Bournemouth's last eight Premier League matches, both teams scored
- In three of the last five encounters, the first half ended in a 0-0 draw
Projected Lineup: Arrizabalaga – Smith, Zabarniy, Senesi, Kerkez – Cook, Christie – Semenyo, Tavernier, Ouattara – Evanilson.
Trends
Bet First half: total under 1.5 goals
In four of the last five matches, this bet has been successful for Leicester
1.52Bet Bournemouth will not lose on offsides
In the last six matches, Bournemouth has not lost due to offsides
1.58Bet Exact score 1:2
Three of Bournemouth's last four wins came with a one-goal advantage
8.60Tip and bets
In their previous match, Bournemouth showcased their ability to secure maximum points against underdogs, a trend we’ve seen multiple times. This talent is a key reason the Cherries find themselves in the mid-table. Leicester City struggles with consistency and often lacks the experience and quality needed to triumph, and we don't believe they will manage to claim their first league victory at home today.
Our prediction is a Bournemouth victory with an Asian handicap (0) at odds of 1.60.
Bet on Total Goals
Even though Leicester hasn't secured a victory yet, their goal-scoring ability is impressive, having netted eight goals this season. Bournemouth also boasts a strong attacking lineup, capitalizing well on their opportunities. We're expecting at least three goals in today's match.
The second bet is over 2.5 total goals with odds of 1.73
Bet on Corners
Leicester has lost five out of their last six corner counts. It's unlikely they'll improve their corner statistics against Bournemouth today.
Prediction: Bournemouth to win on corners with odds of 1.80
