Leicester City form and stats

Leicester City have played 10 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-1-4 (wins-draws-losses). Leicester has recorded two wins in a row here at King Power Stadium, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.

An away draw last time out for Leicester, facing Everton in a game that ended 1-1. In the game before, an away victory in the FA Cup match versus Brentford with a 3-1 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 six games) they have won five times, drawn zero and lost one.

The manager B. Rodgers will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Fulham in only three days.

A decent goal production from Leicester in their home games so far, with 15 goals from 10 league matches. Leicester have conceded 12 in these home matches.

Leeds United form and stats

5-0-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Leeds United, who have the most conceded goals (21) away in Premier League, in their Premier League matches away.

Two travels in a row for Leeds, whose manager M. Bielsa Caldera could celebrate last time after the Premier League win against Newcastle United. Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Brighton & Hove Albion.

We have checked recent matches where Leeds have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those two games were one victory, zero draws and one defeat.

A new game in only three days for Leeds, the Premier League home match versus Everton. Busy days.

Leeds United are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 19 times in 10 away games so far. The Leeds United manager M. Bielsa Caldera has some worries about the defense as 21 goals have been conceded in these travels.
