Leicester v Leeds Betting Tips [5 March 2022]

Leicester City have done well in their recent matches and this will be the standard for them when they play host to struggling Leeds United in their Premier League game scheduled for Saturday. The hosts march to this game placed 12th with 30 points and eyeing a spot in the top half. Meanwhile, Leeds United are 16th with 23 points and hoping to rise further from the relegation zone. Three wins in their last four matches place Leicester City in a good position going into this game and they can be confident of a win over Leeds, an area they’ve failed in the last two meetings. Jamie Vardy is back from injury and marked his return with a later goal as Leicester blanked Burnley 2-0 in their last game. His return comes with Leicester enjoying good scoring form, only having failed to score in one of the last 10 games. They have also scored two or more in four of their last five home matches but both teams have scored in their last five home matches. Four of Leicester City’s last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals; they’ve scored two or more in four of the last five matches but they have just one clean sheet in the last 10.

Leeds United will go into this game with a new manager after Marcelo Biers was sent packing following a poor run of form. Jesse March will be the man in charge, as he gets a first taste of English football. The coach finds Leeds United on a poor run, with just two wins in the last 10 matches and seven losses in the process. Leeds United have four straight losses going into this game. Much of this has to do with a poor defence, which has conceded 60 times in the 26 league matches this season. In the last five matches alone, Leeds have conceded at least three goals per game, in total they’ve let in 20 goals. In the league this season, Leeds United have managed just five wins and injuries to their main men haven’t helped. In their last outing, Leeds lost 4-0 to Tottenham Hotspur and ahead of this clash, they have managed to bag just one point out of a possible 18 in the last six league games.

Leeds United are on a really poor run and though a new coach is coming in, he may not have the time to change things, at least not in this game. They meet an inspired Leicester City side, with Jamie Vary back in. Leicester have been winning with good margins lately and they meet a Leeds side with a very porous defence and we feel over 2.5 goals is possible here.
