Leicester take on Brentford tonight in a must win game for the Foxes, however statistics and trends are not on the home team’s side. Brentford have started picking up points on the road with three wins on the bounce after being known as a team who perform stronger at home. This will be a tough game for Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s side who haven’t scored in their last five home league games, grim reading for Leicester fans. I’m tipping Brentford-Double Chance & Mbuemo 1+ SOT at 1.75 odds
Leicester Losses
Leicester currently sit 2nd bottom in the Premier League only two points from the drop zone. However, things are looking bleak as the mountain to climb gets bigger as each game without points goes by. Sat in 19th place, the Foxes are 10 points behind 16th placed West Ham on 27 points. They have lost nine of their last 10 matches in the Premier League only beating Tottenham at the end of January. The lack of quality in their squad is evident as the Foxes are even struggling to pick up draws against teams around them as seen in their heavy defeats to Everton and Wolves.
Leicester are conceding an average of 2.2 goals a game whilst only scoring 1 per game on average. Jamie Vardy has been the side’s top scorer with seven goals however he can’t carry the team on his own as the Foxes find themselves in contrasting form to the one that won them the title back in 2015/16.
Bryan’s Brentford
On the other hand Brentford are having a great season and Bryan Mbuemo is a major reason why. The Cameroon attacker has had a big part to play in the Bees’ season with 14 goals and three assists. In this tip, we are backing him to have a Shot on Target, something he has managed to do in his last seven Premier League starts. Brentford will be hopeful to create plenty of chances against a side who has conceded the 2nd highest number of goals in the Premier League campaign with Southampton conceding the most. The Bees score an average of 1.72 goals a game and we should expect goals in this game with both teams having at least 3+ goals a game in 68% of their league matches.
Even Leicester fans would be surprised if they grabbed a win tonight whilst a a victory for Brentford can place themselves in the top half of the table. Our tip looks fantastic on paper and offers top value!
