Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Leicester vs Manchester City

Leicester

The Foxes have failed to improve their results significantly since the appointment of Ruud Van Nistelrooy as head coach and are still at the bottom of the league table. Leicester are still above the relegation zone, but are still one of the contenders for relegation. The team clearly lacks talent this season and the club will certainly try to buy a few new good players in the winter. Leicester's top scorer in the current Premier League is the evergreen Jamie Vardy, who has scored six goals and made three assists.

Manchester City

Manchester City are still in a very bad way, after the recent defeat to Aston Villa the team fell out of the European Cup zone. There can be no talk of defending the championship title, Pep Guardiola's charges now need to regain confidence in their abilities and just start winning again. The Citizens are going through an unusually long crisis and it is still unclear how they will get out of the current situation. Performances in the English championship at this stage of the season are a priority for Manchester City and the team will make every effort to improve their results in the near future.

Game Totals Prediction

This will be the opening match of the next round of the English championship during the busy Christmas period and usually in such matches the teams that win are those that have good reserves and a long bench for substitutes. In this regard, Manchester City is much superior to its future opponent and even a protracted crisis will not be an excuse for the Citizens in the event of another loss of points. Leicester's main task in such a game will be to hold out, but it is difficult to imagine that the hosts will be able to repel the attacks of the guests throughout the 90 minutes. A good option for a prediction seems to be a bet on handicap 2 (-1.5) from 1xbet.
