Leicester City vs Manchester City prediction comes before the 27th Premier League round matchup. This game will be played on Saturday, February 22, at the King Power Stadium in Leicester, England. In this match preview, you’ll find betting tips and correct score predictions based on the analysis of these two teams.
Leicester City vs Manchester City Betting Tips
Manchester City is still probably shaken up by the UEFA’s decision to expel this team from the Champions League in the next two years. Of course, this doesn’t mean the Sky Blues are going to sink down in melancholy. They still have a chance to win that competition this season, as well as to do fine in the Premier League.
Speaking of the Premier League, Manchester City has de facto lost the title race to Liverpool. The point gap between the two teams is 22 points which is practically impossible to bridge. Still, Manchester City can finish in second place, which would not be a poor result. The trouble is that achieving that is not going to be easy as Leicester City are breathing by their neck with only 4 points fewer.
And these two are going toe-to-toe on Saturday evening at Leicester city’s home ground. The King Power Stadium is where the Foxes have been really good this season, with 8 wins, 3 draws, and 2 defeats. Both of those defeats happened fairly recently. The Foxes lost to Liverpool on Boxing Day, following by a surprising defeat to Southampton in their next home game. They played two more home matches since, winning against West Ham and playing a draw with Chelsea. The last time Leicester City played Manchester City at the King Power Stadium the Foxes won by 2:1.
Manchester City have been good on the road, which you would expect from a team with so much talent in the squad. However, their recent performances on the road have not been too impressive. This team lost 2 out of 4 previous away matches in the Premier League.
Another worry for Manchester City is that only a couple of days after their Leicester trip, they need to travel to Spain to take on Real Madrid in the Champions League. Considering that this is their last Champions League season before their 2-year ban, they are probably very motivated to go far in this competition. But, that can take a toll on their performances in the Premier League.
Hard days might be coming for Manchester City, but not is the time for them to show what they are made of. They definitely have the quality to beat Leicester City, but their minds might not be totally focused on the game. This is why it’s best to avoid betting on the outcome of the game and focus on goals instead. Both teams are really good in the attacking department, so it would be strange if we didn’t see many goals on Saturday.
