Tottenham vs Leicester prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-01-25 14:00.
[p]While Tottenham continue to power on through the Europa League and domestic cup competitions, their Premier League campaign is in tatters. As their busy January schedule continues, manager Ange Postecoglou admitted there may be no further signings to bolster a squad that will this weekend host Leicester with no fewer than ten players on their absentee list. [/p]
[p]Theyâre now enduring a poor ten-game Premier League run in which theyâve defeated only last-placed Southampton (D2, L7) and the last three months have demonstrated that, even at their home venue which was once on the verge of âfortressâ status, they canât take out-of-form Leicester for granted. Not only did Tottenham lose to newly promoted Ipswich at home in November (2-1), but they have failed to add another Premier League win in front of their own fans since (D2, L3), with a 2-2 draw against another relegation-threatened side, Wolves, another low point. Â [/p]
[p]Leicester marked their return to the Premier League with a 1-1 draw at home to Spurs in the opening round, but five losses from their last six trips to Tottenham (W1) suggests theyâll need to be in much better shape than they are now to improve upon that result. Replicating it with another draw would not only end a five-game away losing streak in this competition, but see them take points off Spurs twice in a single league season for the first time since lifting the trophy in 2015/16.[/p]
[p]Some unwanted history awaits the Foxes if they canât, for they would equal a club record eight consecutive Premier League losses. But with Ruud van Nistelrooyâs team failing to score in five of their last seven league games, and reports of the manager engaging in an angry exchange with his players following last roundâs 2-0 loss at home to Fulham, happier times donât appear to be around the corner. [/p]
[p]Key battle: Dejan Kulusevski continues to forge personal success by scoring in seven of his last 13 competitive appearances, though Spurs won only three of those seven games (D1, L3). On the other hand, Leicesterâs Jakub Stolarczyk became the first goalkeeper in Premier League history to concede 2+ goals in each of his first five appearances. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Tottenham scored 3+ goals in nine of their last ten Premier League wins over Leicester. [/p]
