Downtrodden Leicester may still hope for a stunt against Haaland and co.

In the 2015/2016 season, Leicester City completed a fairytale that hardly anyone had thought possible beforehand. The low-flyer, promoted two years before, then crowned themselves Premier League champions. Jamie Vardy immediately became world news, with a top scorer's title, and a record of most consecutive games with a goal since Ruud van Nistelrooy. His attacking partner Riyad Mahrez was named the league's best player and then accounted for 17 goals and 12 assists. Now they face each other. Vardy still plays at Leicester, Mahrez now at Manchester City. But where Mahrez shines in the Champions League, Vardy is battling his beloved Leicester to stay ahead of the relegation ghost.

Manchester City is the reigning national champion, having won the title in 2021 and 2022. While Leicester City managed to hold its own in the Premier League since promotion in 2014, it is nowhere near as confident as it was before. After seven games, the club was disconsolately at the bottom of the league table, with just one paltry point. Already six games in a row had been lost, and people were already beginning to cautiously call for Brendan Rodgers' resignation. Five games later, the world looks a little brighter. Two victories in a row, and 10 points in the last five games give light at the end of the tunnel. Meanwhile, the team has left the relegation places behind, yet is still only two points off the last place.

The opponent will undoubtedly give Leicester supporters sleepless nights. Manchester City has the best goal difference, plays extremely attacking, and scores the most goals. Leicester averages 2.0 goals against per game, second only to Bournemouth in the entire league. City scores an average of 3.0 goals per game, which makes for a pretty nice quote. Does Pep Guardiola's team manage to score more than 2.5 goals against the sagging Leicester you get 2.05 times your stake back, a nice doubler!

Away or at home is like night and day

Leicester, however, has a good chance for an afternoon of much-needed points. After all, whether you meet the oil club at their own Etihad Stadium or outside it makes a world of difference. Manchester City have reached the maximum score at home, with a goal difference of +21. Outside their own stadium, they get significantly fewer points, and an even worse goal difference. Eight points from five away games, with a goal difference of +4 are the statistics of the stony-chested club. Leicester gets virtually no goals against at home, and takes by far the most points there. So this could be an interesting encounter.

A double chance for a draw or win for Leicester yields nearly four times your stake (odds 3.75). Despite these meager goalscoring statistics, bookmakers are expecting fireworks. Less than 3.5 goals gets you all 1.68 times your bet. A goal by Leicester legend Vardy earns you 4.40 times your stake, while his immortalized mate Mahrez gives you a quote of 3.10 . If Erling Braut Haaland continues to shred the Premier League you get 1.53 times your stake back.
