Leicester City vs Chelsea Predictions
- Leicester are yet to draw a blank at home this season.
- Both teams have scored in Chelsea’s last six league games.
- The Foxes are winless in four.
Leicester return for Maresca
Chelsea head to Leicester in the early Premier League kick off on Saturday as Enzo Maresca faces his former side for the first time since his departure.
Maresca guided the Foxes back into the top flight last season but moved to Stamford Bridge over the summer. The Italian has enjoyed a decent start in West London as Chelsea sit in third spot and Leicester have made a solid opening to the campaign under new boss Steve Cooper as they are three points clear of the drop zone going into the latest round of games.
Both teams to score the starting point
Leicester have won just two of their 11 Premier League games and are on a four-game winless run in all competitions. Chelsea look the more likely winners but are perhaps a bit too short to back at the current prices. The Leicester squad may well raise their levels against their old boss and the Londoners have failed to win their last two league trips, albeit against a higher standard of opposition.
Instead, backing both teams to score looks a solid option here as Leicester have scored in all six of their home games across all competitions and Chelsea have conceded in six of their eight trips. Both teams to score has also been a winning bet in each of the visitors’ last six league games.
Chelsea can keep hold of third spot
Chelsea are one of four teams locked on 19 points and they can keep the pressure on their top four rivals by taking all three points at the King Power. Leicester have three defeats and a draw in their last four games across all competitions and aside from a draw with Tottenham in the opening round of games they have struggled against the better sides, as the rest of their Premier League points have all come against teams who are currently in the bottom half of the division.
As such, a 3-1 win for the away side is the correct score prediction as the Foxes have conceded at least three goals in three of their last four games and exactly three in two of those. Chelsea have won four times on their travels and have scored at least three in three of those wins.
If you’re putting together a bet builder for this game, Pedro Neto is a contender for a goal or an assist as he has one goal and four assists in 11 games. The Portugal international was on target in the draw with Arsenal in the last round of fixtures and followed that up with a Nations League goal for his country so is worth a look for fans of single bets in the anytime scorer market.
