Leicester hosts Arsenal in round 36 of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, April 28th at King Power Stadium (Leicester)
Lester had led four-match winning streak, which was interrupted by a loss to Newcastle in the round before the last. In the last round, the Foxes tied only a draw with West Ham. And nevertheless, they have 3 more rounds to win back 3 points from 7th Wolverhampton. Now Leicester ranks 10th and still has chances to qualify in the Europa League.
Arsenal is punch-drunk at the finish of the tournament. The loss to Everton 4 rounds ago could have been written off as preparation for the quarterfinal against Napoli. And already in the next match, Arsenal beat Watford. But in the last 2 games, they were mercilessly beaten first in their own field by Crystal Palace (2-3), and then by Wolverhampton with the score 3-1 away. And now the Gunners are lagging behind the 4th place giving a berth to the Champions League for the next draw by 1 point.

Perhaps, Arsenal has bet on winning the Europa League, which, in addition to prestige, honor, and a new trophy in the museum, also provides a berth to the Champions League in autumn, and therefore, the team gave up on the championship? If so, the path is rather slippery. Firstly, Valencia got an excellent shape to the end of the season, and it is the team that waits for Arsenal in the semi-final. Secondly, whoever comes out to the final from a parallel pair, Chelsea or Eintracht, it is a toss-up which is worse. It would be not easy to beat both of them. Anyway, it seems to be more reliable to get into the Champions League through homeland tournament. But we have what we have - Arsenal is punch-drunk.
In the first round match, Arsenal won the Foxes at home. But then it was on a roll, and Leicester also had problems, and the championship was only gaining momentum. Now the situation is different. 3 rounds to the finish left. Arsenal will qualify into some of the European Cups in any case, and Leicester has a way there only through victories. And the Foxes may earn this victory by using Arsenal’s cooldown. In May last year, at the finish of the championship as well, Leicester won the Gunners at home with the score 3-1. Why can’t they repeat that outcome and score the required 3 points? But it won’t go amiss if we back up the hosts with X. They offer rather solid odds just to be safe.
Prediction for the match: Leicester to win with +0.5 handicap
