Leicester City welcome the visitors Manchester City in the English Premiere League – Round 19. The match will be held on Wednesday, December 26th, at the King Power Stadium (Leicester).
The pallid statistics reads as follows – on their turf, Leicester City have conceded by a margin of 2 goals only to Tottenham in this campaign. Indeed, it is not easy to play equal against Manchester City, featuring no same-qualified squad as they do, but the hosts have recently managed not to lose the coming opponent. Moreover, Leicester City have defeated title contenders Chelsea, they are not that bad in their latest fixtures, and they really feel more comfortable playing second. On top of that, the Wednesday afternoon visitors are currently underperforming, to put it mild.

We wouldn’t bet on Manchester City in the coming days. The clashes with Crystal Palace, same as Chelsea and Lyon, have shown that the ‘Citizens’ can be played against, making good use of their defense mistakes. The team are really stacked, but they have conceded yet in 2 matches of 3. This has been coming, after all. Watford and Bournemouth were not skillful and lucky enough, but the ‘Glaziers’ took full advantage on it. By the way, the City have been leaking in 7 consecutive rounds – quite a lot for one of the main Champions League favorite and the main Premiere League runner, isn’t it? The guests’ attack is not helpful anymore. They are at great risk of handing the title to Liverpool. Head-to-heads against Leicester on their turf are always a challenge. The teams met a week ago in the Cup fixture, and it ended in extra-time. During the normal time at the King Power Stadium, the ‘Citizens’ won only 1 encounter of 5. If Crystal Palace managed to beat them away, why would the ‘Foxes’ fail to do that at home?
We expect a fight on Wednesday. The ‘Citizens’ urgently need to rehabilitate, but this may be already late. Another loss by Guardiola’s side will not be a surprise. Their defense problems need to be fixed somehow. Even if they succeed to make an opener, they will not rush to beat the opponent. The +1.5 handicap looks quite promising.
Prediction for the match: Leicester City to win with +1.5 handicap.
