Leicester host Bournemouth in what looks to be an entertaining, fast paced game Premier League clash on Saturday.
Bournemouth have started the season strongly and are giving teams around them a tough game. The same can be said of Leicester who despite sitting 17th in the league, have scored in every game but are yet to taste victory.
I’m backing Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Match Goals at 1.90.
Leicester
The Foxes will start feeling the pressure if they don’t start picking up more points. They are on terms with Crystal Palace and are only outside the drop zone due to goal difference. They will want to stop flirting with the bottom three places with a win at the King Power on Saturday, especially after a plucky but forlorn effort against Arsenal rendered their comeback ultimately and literally, pointless.
The evergreen Jamie Vardy is always a threat and has a couple goals already this season as he rolls back the years in front of fans that adore him. Stephy Mavididi is also a threat and has two league goals to his name, and their partnership should see the hosts score against the Cherries.
However, they have also failed to keep a clean sheet yet, meaning they have seen both teams to score in all six league games. With Bournemouth’s red-hot form, I don’t see them starting the trend.
Bournemouth
As mentioned, the Cherries are playing with real confidence. Apart from against Chelsea and Liverpool, they are unbeaten and have scored eight goals in those four games. Andoni Iraola’s men are coming off the back of an easy 3-1 win at home to basement dwellers Southampton, where summer signing from Porto, Evanilson, finally got off the mark.
Alongside the impressive Antoine Semenyo, this pair will cause the Leicester defence problems. The latter is averaging a whopping 4.7 shots per game whereas Evanilson is averaging 2.2 shots per game. The Cherries are creating the fifth highest xG in the league with 1.67 expected goals and are technically underachieving with 1.33 goals a game.
Bonus Tip
As an extra related tip, I think there is great value in Bournemouth to win and Both Teams to Score at 3.75.
