Our Tipster’s Angle

Man City has been unplayable for most teams in the EPL this season, but Leicester has a reputation of being a giant slayer. They have won Man City 5-2 in a similar fixture, and they might be hungry to do it again. 

Man City knows that dropping points against Leicester City will be dangerous as Liverpool’s game vs. Leeds United was postponed because of Covid-19. 

Below are our tips for this match:

Tip 1:  Manchester City to Win

We will be honest, and this match can go both ways. As we have mentioned before, Leicester is a team known to bring down big guns. They have won Man City in similar matches and are still capable of doing it again. 

However, Man City is currently flying high with almost a full squad free from Covid-19; Leicester City has issues in their defense department, which might be pivotal for this game.  

Man City to win this match is available at the Casumo sportsbook at 1.17 odds.

Tip 2:  Over 2.5 Goals

An interesting stat backs this tip. Leicester, this season, has always had their games end in a 2-1 scoreline in their last 8 away games in the EPL. It doesn’t matter if they lost or won; it has always ended 2-1. 

Also, Man City has enough power to cause mayhem, and Leicester, having lost many issues in their defensive department, might struggle not to concede goals in this match.

Over 2.5 goals market option is available at the Casumo Sportsbook at 1.37 odds. 

Conclusion

Man City is currently flying high in the EPL, and covid-19 plus injuries are affecting Leicester City, especially in their backline. They have been struggling to keep a clean sheet and facing the free-scoring league leaders, and they might not have it easy. 

However, Leicester is not to be underestimated; they have shown what it takes to win in unfavorable conditions, and they might still do it again.
