Leicester vs Bournemouth Preview
Leicester are winless in the last four league matches, suffering defeats to Everton and Manchester City and only managing 1-1 draws against Swansea and Stoke. However, The Foxes home form tells a different story and they are unbeaten in their last seven across all competitions and picked up four wins without conceding. Claude Puel’s side are currently 8th in the Premier League and are unlikely to challenge for a Europa League spot and equally unlikely to be dragged into the relegation battle that the bottom half of the table is currently involved in. They’ve struggled for consistency this season but have churned out much better results at The King Power Stadium.
A win on Saturday may result in them swapping places with Burnley in 7th place and provided Arsenal don’t beat Man City on Thursday evening, they could be within 6 points off sixth place.
Shinji Okazaki is still recovering from injury and will likely miss Saturday’s match while Robert Huth’s match fitness is under scrutiny. Kelechi Iheanacho, Vicente Iborra, and Christian Fuchs may all get starts after being left out of the starting XI in the 1-1 draw against Stoke.
Bournemouth rescued a point with an improved second-half display against Newcastle last weekend. After being 2-0 down, two goals in the last ten minutes from Adam Smith and ex-Newcastle midfielder Dan Goslin left Newcastle fans travelling home in disappointment and increased Bournemouth’s unbeaten run at home to six matches. Whilst Bournemouth’s home form has been respectable, their performances on the road have been generally poor with Eddie Howe’s side picking up just 13 points from a possible 42 and finding the net just 13 times in 14 games. Their impressive 3-0 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge was quickly cancelled out by a 4-1 defeat in their next away game against Huddersfield. However, they have picked up goals away from home against teams outside of the top 6 and will be confident of finding the net again on Saturday.
Jermain Defoe came off the bench against Newcastle last weekend to make his first appearance in two months for The Cherries and will be available for selection again on Saturday. Eddie Howe’s only injury concern is defender Tyrone Mings who is likely to miss the rest of the season with a back injury.

Leicester vs Bournemouth Predictions
Not much sets these two teams apart but we feel the home advantage may give Leicester the edge on Saturday. The Foxes have only conceded two goals in their last six home games whilst Bournemouth have picked up just one win in ten on the road. Both sides are capable of scoring goals and so backing BTTS seems like a good bet.
