Liverpool - Leicester City betting tips and odds

Most fans are expecting nothing short of a decisive victory for Liverpool. Though an upset is not impossible, it’s extremely unlikely that this match will end in anything that’s not a home win.

The situation is crystal clear from the current perspective. Given the strength of the home team and the fact Leicester City are given 11.00 betting odds to win, a conclusion is not difficult to reach. Anything but a home win would be an incredible surprise.

The hosts’ previous matchup at Crystal Palace was quite favourable despite the home-field disadvantage, but the confidence placed in them by the 6.30 betting odds was not misplaced. They recorded a clear HT/FT victory with a solid goal difference.

While Leicester’s previous Premier League match didn’t end in triumph, the 1:1 draw is a net positive for them. Despite playing at home, the odds were still against them - 2.60, to be exact. Still, the teams proved to be evenly matched both at half-time and the final result.

A quick look at the recent trends reveals a solid record for The Reds, who have managed to score 5 times in their previous 3 matches. This means that markets like BTTS or Over 5 Goals are worth your attention.

Based on their recent performance, Leicester’s largest issue seems to be defence, especially in away games. With 6 conceded goals in their 3 previous visiting matches, Over 3.5 Goals markets seem like a solid betting option.

Liverpool are currently 9 points behind the table leaders. There’s still plenty of time, however, and they seem poised to take another three points this Thursday. The Champions League dream seems like a reality at this point but with 9 points behind the leaders, a league title is still within their grasp.

At this point, the clash between these two teams is notorious for producing inconclusive results. They already have several tied matches on record in this season alone, which is ultimately worse for the home team who are considered favourites.

Before going for any betting predictions, we need to make note of the overall high number of prior injuries. Both sides have been hit: Joe Gomez, Thiago Alcântara, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Sadio Mané for the hosts, and Ricardo Pereira, Jonny Evans, Jamie Vardy, Ryan Bertrand for the visitors. Needless to say, this may impact the teams’ performance.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet has strong chances of success here, so we can safely recommend it. With the teams’ records for scoring and conceding in mind, the 2.45 odds offered at 10Bet are more than fair in terms of value.
