Leicester: Attacking Struggles

Leicester had the worst possible start to a campaign, but after ten rounds, they found a way out of the red zone and are now one of the teams in good form. Or at least, they were before the World Cup started. They had four wins in the last five games and the team looked much stronger. They did not concede a goal in most of their games but then played against Newcastle in their first match back and lost 3-0, followed by another 2-1 defeat to Liverpool, both expected defeats.

The Foxes will hardly be anywhere near the European positions battle and will be lucky to avoid the relegation scrap in the second half of the season. Leicester decided to stick by manager Brendan Rodgers despite a particularly poor start.

Leicester typically packs the midfield and looks to produce a lot of their good work centrally, something normal as they are fully packed with hard workers like Wilfred Ndidi, Youri Tielemans, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in the side. Leicester has yet to beat any of the 12 teams ahead of them in the standings while picking up a single point against the current top 10, so we won’t include them in our soccer picks and parlays.

Ricardo Pereira, James Justin, and Ryan Bertrand are all out with injuries at full-back, so Timothy Castagne and Luke Thomas are set to keep their places while James Maddison is still suffering from a knee issue.

Fulham: Great Form

Fulham is enjoying a good season by their standards, given that the team got promoted last term and this is their first campaign back. They have the necessary weapons to remain in the top-flight league for at least one more campaign, but how good will they be in the second half of the season? They have a very strong attack, and Aleksandar Mitrovic’s form is incredible, but their defense is the main problem. The team conceded 27 goals in 15 games to date and is struggling to keep clean sheets.

Fulham will enter this match in high spirits. They even broke into the top half of the Premier League standings after a magnificent display and a 3-0 win over nine-man Crystal Palace last at Selhurst Park. They doubled that with another victory, 2-1, against Southampton on Dec. 31.

Fulham will also fancy their chances here, knowing that the Foxes have only won two of their eight league outings on the home patch, so if you’re betting online, you should start backing Fulham to score. There are no fresh injury concerns for Marco Silva to deal with, so he is unlikely to tinker too much with the side that secured him a win against Southampton on Saturday.
