The only bright moment in recent times is the victory in the cup game over QPR with a crushing score of 6:2. It is worth noting that the team has strengthened its defense - defender Voyo Koulibaly came from Parma.

Leicester are on a five-game losing streak in the Premier League and have suffered from defensive lapses. Crystal Palace have improved significantly during the season, and the Eagles are able to survive at most in matches against opponents from the lower half of the table. Given the current form of the teams in this pair, a bet on a victory for the visitors is suggested.
Our prediction is Crystal Palace to win at odds of 1.90
Bet on total
Leicester have nothing to lose, they need to go forward from the first minutes, a draw is unlikely to suit the team. The Foxes are capable of playing for their goal at home, they scored in eight of the previous ten matches on their field. At the same time, Leicester defense constantly makes mistakes, which we think the Eagles will take advantage of more than once. There is a high probability of an exchange of goals scored.
Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 1.68
Bet on corners
It should be noted that in seven of the last nine personal meetings on their home field in the Premier League, Leicester did not lose on corners. Based on this trend, we recommend another option for betting.
