Leeds vs Leicester Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Bookies have Leeds winning this clash and have gone ahead to price a home win at 2.25 with an away win coming in at 3.4. The odds for a draw, the least likely result according to bookmakers, come at 3.76.

Leeds had looked like they had turned their season around in mid-March and early April when they went unbeaten in three of their four matches in that period, winning two of those and digging themselves out of the relegation zone. But they have since reverted back to looking over their shoulder as they have lost their last three matches. After beating fellow relegation strugglers Nottingham Forest 2-1 at home, The Whites suffered two heavy defeats in their next two matches as they conceded a combined 11 goals and scored only two in return. First, they were shocked 5-1 by Crystal Palace and before they could regroup, Liverpool were on top of them with a 6-1 hiding. Javi Garcia’s men put up a better account of themselves away to Fulham last time out but they were still reeling from those two heavy defeats and lost 2-1. With three matches out of the six they have left coming at home including Tuesday’s encounter, Leeds will know picking up maximum points in those matches could be the difference that sets them apart from the teams that will go down.

Leicester City gave their survival hopes a huge boost last time out when they came from behind to beat Wolves 2-1 and jump out of the relegation zone but only by goal difference so they need to build on that momentum to peel further away. The Foxes had been without a win in 10 successive games before they beat Wolves with nine of those matches ending in defeat. The win came in Dean Smith’s second game in charge after replacing long-term coach Brendan Rodgers and all involved will hope that the coaching change brings with it an upturn in fortunes. Leicester are tied on points with Everton at 28 points who they face after this round and will be well poised for that match if they can pick up maximum points here. They are unbeaten in their last three against Leeds, winning the last two encounters and should be full of confidence going into Tuesday.
