Leicester City form and stats

The season before, Leicester City's league stats were 14 wins, 10 draws and 14 losses, providing 8th spot in the Premier League. From these 38 matches they scored 62 goals and gave away 59. Appearing at home in the last season Leicester City managed 10-4-5 (win-draw-lost) with 34 goals and 23 conceded.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Leicester City have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 7 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 2 and lost 2.

It's been an intense period of training leading up to this game for Leicester City, who have participated in six training matches. Leicester City have won 4 of these, drawn 1 and were beaten in 1 game.

In total they scored 48 and conceded 56 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 6 - drew 4 and lost 9 with 26/35 goals scored/conceded.

Brentford are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats. From a total of 8 matches.

It's finally time to play a game of importance again as a long period of training has passed. Brentford have played a number of friendly games in this period, resulting in 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats from six fixtures.
