Leicester host Crystal Palace at the King Power Stadium on Wednesday night. Ruud Van Nistelrooy is seeking his first win as Leicester boss since his first game in charge. Since that 2-1 defeat of West Ham back at the start of December, Leicester have been on a horrible run of form. The Foxes have played 6, lost 5 and drawn 1 – conceding a huge 16 goals. In these 6 games, Leicester have conceded: 2, 2, 3, 3, 4 and 2 goals.
Leicester have had a really tough campaign and their defensive issues have been a big reason for their struggles. Leicester have kept just 1 clean sheet in their 20 league games this season, conceding 2 or more in 15/20.
Their opponents come into this game after a reasurgence of form. Crystal Palace have lost just 1 of their last 9 league games, only failing to beat Arsenal. On their travels, the Eagles are unbeaten in 5 and have scored 8 goals in the process. The Crystal Palace attack is begininng to click again, showing glimpses of the attack that did so well last season.
There is no doubt that Palace go into this game the better side and in vastly superior form. Leicester will give up plenty of chances and they have done all season. Palace will fancy themselves to get on the scoresheet on more than one occasion here, as they have done in their last 2 meetigns vs Leicester.
TIP: Crystal Palace Over 1.5 Team Goals @ 1.80
