On Saturday, from 15pm, Leicester and Bournemouth are dueling in the fourth stage of the Premier League, in a match in which we will bet guided by statistics and the experience of previous duels. Bournemouth comes to King Power Stadium without a number of key players, including Brooks, L. Cook, Daniels, Francis, Gosling, Groeneveld, Kelly or Stanislas.
Leicester want to remain unbeaten this season and get their first home win, but Bournemouth have only lost once in the previous eight duels with “blue-and-white” foxes. But Leicester is a quality team, which has transferred smartly, even if it lost this summer to Maguire, sold to Manchester United. The homogeneity and ability of the hosts makes Leicester the favorites to win.
Bournemouth is not a convincing away team, and statistics show that Leicester know how to defend on their own ground: in the last five matches played here by the “foxes”, the bet “both marks” was not even a winner! Jamie Vardy has scored in 8 of Leicester’s last 9 home wins, and the English goalkeeper can be decisive again this weekend. Leicester are in 4th place (3-2), while Eddie Howe’s students are 11th (4-5).
Although we know that Leicester are more suited to play on the counterattack, the blue-white band does not lack confidence and will definitely dominate possession. Bournemouth has a reluctant defense and could be penalized by the favorites of this party. Last season, Leicester prevailed at home 2-0.
LEICESTER PROBABLE TEAM – BOURNEMOUTH:
Leicester: Schmeichel – R. Pereira, Evans, Soyuncu, Fuchs – Ndidi – A. Perez, Tielemans, Maddison, Albrighton – Vardy
Bournemouth: Ramsdale – A. Smith, Mepham, Ake, Rico – J. Wilson, Lerma, Billing, Fraser – C. Wilson, King
PREDICTION: Leicester to win @ 1,73
