The league table in Premier League tells a story about these teams so far, with Leicester City leading Brighton & Hove Albion by 11 points. Match preview to follow:
- Leicester City has the most matches over the total-line (8) in Premier League
- Brighton & Hove Albion have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Europa League. Thankfully the previous game, versus AEK Athens, was also a home game here at King Power Stadium. The away team is better rested.
Leicester City form and stats
When playing at home in the Premier League, Leicester City have managed 2 wins, 0 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 5 games.
Leicester's previous game was a Europa League match also played at home, ending 2-0 versus AEK Athens. The home side are looking to build on that result. In the game before, an away victory in the Premier League match versus Sheffield United with a 2-1 scoreline.
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 have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won four times, drawn zero and lost one.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Everton are coming to town in three days.
The Leicester City fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 5 matches. Leicester have conceded 8 from these games.
Brighton & Hove Albion form and stats
The visitors are W2-D1-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League.
Home advantage was not enough for Brighton & Hove Albion in their previous game, as they lost their Premier League-match, hosting Southampton, 1-2. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Liverpool.
We have checked recent matches where Brighton have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those seven games were two victories, three draws and two defeats.
Brighton & Hove Albion has another fixture away, a Premier League game, against Fulham in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
The travelling fans enjoy Brighton's attacking play in away games, having scored 9 goals in 5 league matches away. Brighton have conceded 8 goals in these games.
