Only a win will satisfy the Leicester City supporters in this King Power Stadium clash with Brighton & Hove Albion, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Premier League table.
It's no vacation for neither Leicester City nor Brighton & Hove Albion as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Leicester City form and stats
Leicester City are steadily winning Premier League games and points here at King Power Stadium. 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats is the summary from 15 games.
The home team returns to King Power Stadium after being equal after 90 minutes with Watford (placed 16th) on their last time out; the Premier League game ended 1-1. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Aston Villa in a game that was won 4-0.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Leicester matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, zero draws and two defeats (from three games).
The Leicester City manager B. Rodgers has got the team scoring with 30 from 15 home games in the league. Leicester have conceded 15 in these home matches.
Brighton & Hove Albion form and stats
There's been little loot from Brighton & Hove Albion's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 15 away games in the Premier League. Brighton & Hove Albion only have 2 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 5 draws. One point away has become something of a habit for Brighton who have played out draws in their last three away games.
The supporters enjoyed Brighton's previous game versus Arsenal (placed 10th), a Premier League 2-1 win played at home. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Wolverhampton Wanderers that ended 0-0.
The end of the last match, against Arsenal, was very satisfying as Neal Maupay scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Brighton & Hove Albion when being an outsider away as they are today, we find one match with the visitors losing zero times, drawing one and winning zero games.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Brighton have scored 15 goals in 15 league games away. In the opposite end, Brighton have conceded 25 goals in their away games.
