Leeds vs Leicester Prediction and Match Preview

Leicester is quite unstoppable this season. It is a rare occasion that they have recorded another outcome than a victory so far in this campaign. Their last league match was one of those rare occasions as the team conceded a defeat. They will hope to return to the winning ways on Friday as they face the second-best team of the season, Leeds as their hosting rivals.

• Leicester’s 1-2 defeat against Middlesbrough was their 5^th negative recording this season, and that defeat ended their four-match winning streak in the league..
• Leeds sealed a 0-2 win against Plymouth to extend their unbeaten streak to 11 games.
• Both teams have been scoring goals lately, especially Leicester, who has scored at least two goals in five of the last six matches.

Leicester’s exceptional performance helped them to maintain their spot at the top of the Championship table. They are now having a nine-point lead against Leeds sitting at second. But their opposite side looks to have a comparatively better form at the moment.

Leeds has won the past five matches across all competitions and is on an 11-match unbeaten streak. They netted 10 goals in the past four league outings alone and we can expect a goal-fest here as they face Leicester, who has the best attacking side this season.

Recent Meetings

• The reverse fixture ended in a 0-1 win for Leeds and they are now on a two-match unbeaten streak against Leicester.
• We can see five high-scoring matches in the past eight head-to-head between Leicester and Leeds.
• Leicester is on a four -match unbeaten streak against Leeds at this venue and three of them saw the landing of both teams to score option.

Leeds vs Leicester Prediction

It has been a while since the Leeds accepted a defeat at home across competitions. An 18-match unbeaten streak at home is more than exceptional. But their defensive line has allowed goals in two of the last four home outings. It is more than enough to expect a goal from the best offensive line this season.

We therefore like to start with Leeds to win as the main betting pick for this match. The goal trend of both inclines us to back the combined tip of over 2.5 goals and both teams to score option.

Also, the Dutch striker Summerville has scored 4 goals in the past four matches of Leeds. He is the top-scorer of Leeds so far this season too. Such a stat reckons us to back him to score anytime for this match. Also, over 65% of the matches played by both were high-scoring this season.
