Manchester City vs Leicester Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Daniel Ngulu | in Premier League Prediction
Manchester City will be looking to stay top of the table when they welcome Leicester City for their next Premier League game. The two sides face off on Boxing Day, separated by 22 points. City lead with 44 points and Leicester are ninth on 22 points. Ahead of this game, City thrashed Newcastle United 4-0 for their third straight clean sheet and an eighth straight win in the league. They have five clean sheets in the last eight league matches. In their last five matches in the league, City have scored 17 goals and four of these matches have ended in over 2.5 goals. In two of their last five matches, both teams have scored, and at home, they’ve suffered just one loss in the last 10 matches.
Leicester City are coming from another poor showing away to Liverpool in the League Cup. A game they led 2-0 in the opening 13 minutes and led 3-1 at half time ended 3-3 in regular time and they lost on post match penalties. This was the fourth game in five outings that Leicester conceded two or more goals. The only clean sheet they’ve managed to keep in their last 10 matches was against struggling Newcastle United, a game they won 4-0. While Leicester have been poor defensively, in attack they are one of the most potent around. They have scored two or more goals in six of their last seven games and in the last 10, they’ve only failed to score once – in a 3-0 loss to Chelsea. In eight of Leicester’s last 10 matches, both sides have scored and the same is the case in each of their last 15 away league games.

Our Manchester City vs Leicester Prediction
Leicester City have managed just one clean sheet in 10 matches and going to face Manchester City in that form spells disaster. They however have their own threat in attack and with Jamie Vardy fit, a goal from the visitors can’t be ruled out. Go for both teams to score.
