Liverpool vs Leicester City – FA Cup Betting Tips

Liverpool had a comfortable FA cup win against Cardiff in their last match, and also, they will be expecting Mo Salah and Mane back to the starting lineup for the first time since January they went to the African cup of Nations.

Leicester City had an embarrassing outing in the FA cup as they were thrashed 4-1 by Nottingham Forest. Also, they expect a vital squad member to the back from the African cup of Nations for this game.

Liverpool has managed to stay up in the premier league table without Salah and Mane, and the last time Leicester City won them in the EPL. The question now remains, will Liverpool have their revenge against Leicester City or your Leicester City do a league double over them?

Here are the team news and tips for this game.

Our Tipsters Angle

This match would be tight because Leicester won’t want to lose after they had an embarrassing result in their last game. Liverpool knows that losing this game would mean a bigger gap between them and Manchester City, and also, they might be giving up their third position in the table. 

Leicester would likely put up a fight after being humiliated in their FA Cup match, and they will take confidence in having beaten Liverpool not long ago. 

Tip 1:  Over 2.5 Goals

Liverpool hasn’t forgotten about the last game which they lost to Leicester City, and will be looking at stopping such recurrence. Liverpool has been finding the net for much of their matches this season, and we expect them to do so against Leicester. 

Leicester, on their own, has been porous at the defense but also strong going forward. In all competitions, Leicester City has seen 3 of their laast 5 games end in over 2.5 goals.  Also, checking their H2H, there has been over 2.5 in 4 of their last 5 games. 

For over 2.5 goals, the odds at Casumo sportsbook is 1.32.

Tip 2: Leicester City +3 Handicap

Leicester City is in bad shape now, but we don’t think they are down and out to lose this game by more than a 2 goal margin. Liverpool, of course, would be looking for revenge, but their recent performances against decent oppositions in the EPL haven’t been great.

Also, in their recent games against Leicester City, Liverpool has not won against Leicester City in their last 3 meetings.

For Leicester City +3 European Handicap, the odds at Casumo sportsbook is 1.44.

Conclusion

This match is an exciting weekend game as both teams would have to focus on the EPL and avoid slipping behind. Leicester City has been struggling recently, but they have always found their feet in recent games against Liverpool. 

Whatever happens in this game, we know that we will be treated with a pulsating match.
