Leicester enter the contest following a number of strong performances. They remain at the top of the league standings after their 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town last time out.

Their opponents, Cardiff, come into the game with a string of varying outcomes. They stand 11th in the rankings following a 2-2 draw with Plymouth in their previous league match.

Elaborating on, Leicester are in fine form with six wins and an eight-match unbeaten streak. They also have a solid record against Cardiff. Meanwhile, Cardiff’s recent struggles at home are evident from their three losses in their previous five home fixtures.

Therefore, a victory for Leicester at 1.66 odds will be our main betting pick here considering all the observations.

For the second tip, over 2.5 goals at 1.94 odds seems very promising. Given that each of the past three matches for the hosts had over 2.5 goals. Furthermore, the visitors have also been scoring goals at a good clip in recent weeks, as five of their past six matches concluded with more than 2.5 goals.
