Tipster’s Angle

Apart from the slipup against Arsenal, Chelsea are in great form and have been winning tough fixtures. Leicester also have a similar record but Chelsea are rock solid at home. Also this could be a low scoring match.

Tip: Total Goals Under 2.5 @ 1.77

In the last seven head to head matches, under 2.5 goals were scored in as many as six of those matches. Also, whenever Chelsea hosted the head to head matches, under 2.5 goals were scored in five of the last six matches. In the last ten matches that Chelsea has played across competitions, under 2.5 goals were scored in nine of those matches. Apart from that, under 2.5 goals were scored in all the last seven home matches that Chelsea has played across all competitions. Even, under 2.5 goals were scored in two of the last three away matches that Leicester has played. So, it is very likely that under 2.5 goals will be scored at 1.77 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Tip: Chelsea To Win @ 1.74

In the last 11 head to head matches, Chelsea has won four matches, Leicester has won three matches and the other four matches ended in a draw. In the last 11 matches that Leicester has played across competitions, they have seven wins, one draw and just three losses. Also, Leicester have just one win under their belt in the last three matches that they have played on the road. Chelsea on the other hand have won six, drew two and lost three matches. They have just one loss in their last five matches that they have played on home turf. So, it is very likely that Chelsea will come out on top of Leicester City. And 1.74 odds are available for the same at the Dafabet sportsbook.

Conclusion

This is a close combat between these two sides as they are just separated by just two points and the winner will take the lead. But if the match ends in a draw, Leicester will keep their third position intact.
