Leicester vs Manchester Utd prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-03-15 19:00.
[p]The upcoming international break could spell the end of Ruud van Nistelrooy’s short Leicester tenure should they be beaten again at the weekend. The Foxes begin the weekend six points adrift of safety after a harrowing run of 12 defeats from their last 13 Premier League matches (W1), losing the last five in a row without scoring a single goal. Things have been even worse on home soil where they have suffered six successive defeats without reply – no side in English top-flight history has ever lost seven consecutive home games without scoring.[/p]
[p]Van Nistelrooy’s next test comes in the form of a visit from former employers Manchester United – who Leicester have ominously lost the last three league H2Hs against without scoring. The Foxes have already lost this fixture three times this season across three different competitions – two of which came with Van Nistelrooy in the United dugout. Leicester could now lose four times to the same opponent in a single season for just the second time ever![/p]
[p]Manchester United journey south on the back of arguably their best performance under Ruben Amorim, as they thumped Real Sociedad 4-1 on Thursday to progress to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa League. The Red Devils’ focus will remain trained on that competition as their only viable route back to Europe next season, as they still languish in the bottom half of the Premier League table.[/p]
[p]Keeping spirits high after an encouraging week will be top of Amorim’s agenda, and the travelling supporters may carry rare confidence as United have lost just one of their last eight league visits to the King Power Stadium (W4, D3). More positivity can be found from the visitors record against the bottom three sides in the league this term (W4, D1), scoring exactly three times in each win.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Leicester will look to Jamie Vardy to end their scoring woes and add to his six career goals against United, one of which came in their last H2H home win in October 2021. Bruno Fernandes’ hat-trick in midweek took his goal involvement tally to seven in his last six games (G6, A1) – he’s directly contributed to five goals in this season’s three H2Hs (G3, A2). [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Only Leicester (five) have scored the opening goal on fewer occasions than Man Utd (nine) in the Premier League this season.[/p]
