Sunderland vs Leicester Prediction and Match Preview

Leicester is unbeatable this season. It is a rare occasion that they have recorded another outcome than a victory so far in this campaign. However, their latest league recordings seem to be dreadful as the team lost the past three in a row.

• Leicester’s 1-2 defeat against QPR was their 7^th negative recording this season and they are now on a streak of three defeats too.
• Sunderland lost 1-0 against Norwich in their latest match to extend a losing streak to four games.
• Leicester allowed in four of their last five league matches and has scored goals consistently too.

Leicester’s exceptional performance helped them to maintain their spot at the top, but their current form might bring them down. They are now having a three-point lead against Ipswich sitting at second. Apart from Leicester’s losing run, what should be considered here is their latest defensive slump.

Moving on, this match will see plenty of goals as Leicester faces an unimpressive Sunderland side, who also has a weak defensive line. Also, Sunderland has scored 9 goals in the past seven league matches. Thus, we can expect a high-scoring and both teams involving match at Stadium of Light on Tuesday.

Recent Meetings

• Leicester won the reverse fixture at home, scoring one unanswered goal, and it was their second consecutive win against Sunderland.
• Leicester scored 10 goals in the past five clashes against Sunderland.
• The past two overall wins were evenly split at this venue, with one each for both.

Sunderland vs Leicester Prediction

Sunderland, who has lost three in the past five home matches, makes it an obvious decision that Leicester will win the match. The stats on paper tighten the three-point possibility for the away side and we expect them to seal a comfortable one too.

Also, Leicester won 12 of their 17 league road trips this season. They have netted 36 goals in that stretch too. Such an offense definitely seems capable of scoring three goals against Sunderland, who has allowed 8 goals in the last five home matches. Thus, we like to start with Leicester to win for this match.

In-form Leicester offense is likely to score goals over 1.5 here, as they delivered the same in most of their away matches of late. Since we expect a goal from both ends and Leicester to score over 1.5 goals, over 2.5 goals and both teams to score tip seems ideal.
