Top 3 bets for Leicester โ Tottenham
- ๐ Ghana Tottenham
- ๐ Over 2.5 goals
- ๐ Both mark
Market: Ghana Tottenham โ 1.58*
Spurs start the Premier League against a familiar opponent who they know how to beat at home and away. The London team arrives after a good season, in which they had a positive tour of the United States, but ended with poor results against Bayern Munich in England. Similarly, Postecoglou’s team has a squad far superior to Wolves, who were in the Championship last season and won the title. For this reason, this Leicester vs Tottenham prediction favors the visitors, who lead the history of duels between both teams 12-6.
Market: Over 2.5 goals โ 1.55*
This start to the season is complicated for both teams. The first reason is that Leicester are coming off promotion and have to get used to the intensity of the Premier League again, and with an extra gear when facing a Big Six team. On the other hand, Spurs need to win to consolidate themselves as a solid team that has everything necessary to fight for European places. With both teams looking for victory, it is very likely that there will be more than 2.5 goals on the scoreboard. Especially since in the last five clashes between the two teams, this has happened. Leicester vs Tottenham prediction.
Market: Both score โ 1.59*
Just as there is a high probability of more than 2.5 goals on the scoreboard, there will surely be goals for both sides. And the fact is that most of the matches in the English league have dangerous chances everywhere on all sides. In fact, in the last five matches between the two teams in which there were more than 2.5 goals, the both-score rule has also been fulfilled. The team led by Ange Postecoglou has a strong attack, but the defence is not as solid, just like that of the foxes.
