Our Tipsters Angle

Both teams have played just 18 EPL matches this season, while most others have played 22 games. This means that they are 4 games away and can significantly change their current standings if they win their games.

Looking at the situation of things, even though Leicester is at home and is almost of equal strength in this match, they’re seriously at a disadvantage.

Tottenham will be boosted because they’re in an unbeaten run, and Leicester currently has a depleted squad.

Tip 1:  Tottenham X2

Antonio Conte will be without the talisman Son, but Tottenham still has it in them to cause havoc to Leicester City. Leicester City will only have to rely on Madison and a few players for this match without a backup option on the bench. Their key players are all away at AFCON at the moment, and even though they did enough against Liverpool, they are likely to have a stiffer test here.

Antonio Conte knows that winning this game will boost his team’s chances of moving into the top four, which would likely make Tottenham offer more in this match. Also, checking their last H2H, Tottenham has won 3 of their last 5 games against Leicester City.

Tottenham to win or draw bet option is available at Casumo Bookie at 1.38 odds.

Tip 2:  Tottenham to Score

Tottenham will most likely score in this match. Most of Leicester’s backline are either injured or away at AFCON, and they looked exposed when checking their available and likely defensive setup. 

Also, Tottenham has scored in their last 7 games in EPL, and it doesn’t matter if they’re home or away. Also, they have scored against Leicester City in 4 of their last 5 games in all competitions.

Tottenham to score is placed at 1.19 odds at the Casumo Sportsbook.

Conclusion

Tottenham looks like the favored side to win this game even though they’ll be without Son for this match. However, most of their players are available, and Conte would have no issues keeping the team’s shape to hurt Leicester City.

On the other hand, Leicester has surprised many this season and can still win this game. Their team spirit is on the high-end, and it will be fascinating to see how this match will go.
