Manchester City - Leicester City predictions

No matter how you look at it, the outcome of this matchup isn’t much of a toss-up in terms of betting predictions. Manchester City are very hard favourites, and it would take a miracle for Leicester City to manage an upset.

This one has Home Win written all over it. The hosts are expected to grab a firm hold of the proceedings and Leicester will be left with slim pickings in this match.

City dropped the proverbial ball in their latest home game. An early lead against Brighton & Hove Albion melted away in the later stages of the game, leaving them with only a single point in a 2:2 stalemate.

Unlike in this match, Leicester had the support of their home fans in the previous matchup. Unfortunately, they were still the clear underdogs compared to Manchester United and predictably lost the game 0:3 after spending most of the runtime playing from behind.

Though the 5 concessions over the past 3 away games for Manchester City may not directly affect this particular match, such a history may be cause for concern for their supporters.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 Premier League engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

Though many would be happy with being 5th on the table, there’s still some time left before the end of the season for Manchester City to aim higher. They’ll need 1 point to do so, and they should be able to wrestle away 3 more this Wednesday.

As the number 19th team in the standings, The Foxes will be relegated unless they can move up before it’s too late. There’s a bit of time left, but it’s quickly running out. Considering most bookies are pricing an away win at 13.00, though, things don’t look too promising.

Looking over the head-to-head statistics for this Premier League season, the hosts already recorded a victory over Leicester. This puts them ahead of their opponents, which is reflected in the betting odds.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Wednesday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

Going for a straight Result bet would severely limit your profits, so our advice is to throw in a -1.5 Asian Handicap for the favourites. This will still keep the odds in your favour at 1, but should do wonders for potential profitability.
