Everton vs Leicester City Betting Tips

Everton will host Leicester at the Goodison Park in Liverpool on 28th January 2021 at 01:45 IST. Leicester has been flying this season and is very much in the title race especially in this unusual season. Their opponents Everton have had a new lease of life as they were able to get some very exciting players who have had a good start to the season.

Everton Form & Team News

Carlo Ancelotti’s side is in the prime position to play in Europe next season as they are currently sitting in the sixth position with 32 points after 17 matches. They have twelve wins, two draws, and five losses in the league. In the 17 matches played, Everton has scored 28 and conceded 21 goals. Everton’s home form has been patchy as they won four, drawn one and lost three of their eight games at Goodison Park this season.

Everton has seven players that are unavailable for their match against Leicester. Everton fans were left gutted due to the cancellation of their fixture against Aston Villa which meant that their combative midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure would be serving his suspension in this important fixture. Jean-Philippe Gbamin, Allan, Fabian Delph, Lucas Digne, Alex Iwobi, and Niels Nkounkou are the other absentees. Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s return to the side is a major positive as he was their best goalscorer with eleven goals. Everton will expect their Columbian superstar James Rodriguez to unlock the defense as he has three assists in this league season.

Leicester City Form and Team News

Leicester is just two points behind Manchester United and is currently sitting in the third position after 19 matches with 38 points. Out of the 19 matches played, they have won 12, drawn twice, and lost five times in the league. They have scored 35 goals and conceded 21 goals in the league this season. Leicester’s away record is spectacular as they have won seven, drawn one, and lost one in nine games on the road.

Despite Leicester having only one injury, it is the last person they wanted to be sidelined for this match. The Englishmen Jamie Vardy is unavailable as he would miss the match due to a groin injury. Leicester’s talisman has been exceptional for Leicester as he is leading both the goal scoring and assists charts with eleven goals and five assists. In his absence, you would expect James Maddison and Harvey Barnes to step up who have 12 goals and four assists between them.

Our Tipster’s Angle

Both the teams have had a good season so far. Everton has historically dominated in this season but the way Leicester has played this season especially away from home makes this a fascinating encounter.

Tip 1: Everton To Score First

Everton has been in a good vein of form in recent weeks and they have been the side to strike the first blow on most of the occasions. Out of their last six premier leagues, they have taken the lead on four occasions. Apart from that, the previous head-to-head encounters between the two sides reflect the same as Everton has taken the lead in four out of five matches. And also, Leicester will be missing their key striker Jamie Vardy. So it looks likely that Everton would be the team to score first at 1.87 odds available in Casumo sportsbook.

Tip 2: Richarlison To Score

Despite being overshadowed by Dominic Calvert-Lewin this season, Richarlison has been exceptional in the fixtures against Leicester City. Out of five head to head matches against Leicester, Richarlison has scored on four occasions. In their previous fixture earlier this season, Richarlison’s early strike gave Everton the lead and they went on to beat Leicester at the King Power Stadium. Hence we expect the talented Brazilian to be among the goal scorers at 3.95 odds available on Casumo sportsbook. 

Conclusion

Leicester can’t afford to lose this match as they are surrounded by very good sides in and around them who are pushing for the title race. Everton on the other hand would like to build upon their decent start to get back on the European stage. Summarizing a couple of bets mentioned above.

  1. Everton to score first  @ 1.87
  2. Richardson to score @ 3.96
