Leicester vs Bournemouth Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 05/04/2023, 18:00  by Steve Ashfield in Premier League Predictions

Two of the bottom three in the English Premier League face each other in a real six-pointer. Leicester are 19th in the table and two points behind their opponents 18th placed Bournemouth. Leicester are without a manager at the time of writing this preview on Wednesday 5 April. Tuesday night saw them lose 2-1 at home to Aston Villa and are a couple of points from safety.  That was their seventh defeat in their last eight league and cup games, one to Championship side Blackburn Rovers in the FA Cup. If Leicester can't improve their form, they may well end up in the Championship next season. Home form isn't helping a great deal with six of theair last eight league games at the Kingpower Stadium being lost. All those league losses were against teams currently in the top ten. Leicester have only won three home Premier League games this season, two against struggling Nottingham Forest and Leeds United, the other a 4-1 win over Tottenham in February. The three games that have followed that win have all been lost. Four of their last five home league games have seen both teams score.

Bournemouth also lost on Tuesday night, being beaten at home by Brighton and Hove Albion. They are only in the bottom three on goal difference with four teams on 27 points at the time of writing this article. Bournemouth have won two of their last five league games but both came on home soil. Only two away league wins have been achieved this season. An early win at Nottingham Forest and a victory at Wolves in mid-February. That's the only one of their last ten away league games that they haven't lost.  The reverse fixture was won 2-1 by Bournemouth, a bet on both teams scoring is our suggested wager.
