Leicester City hosts Brighton & Hove Albion in round 31 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Tuesday, June 23rd at King Power Stadium (Leicester)
In the first round after a 3-month downtime, Leicester was content with only a draw (although it scored in the 90th minute and was ahead, but conceded in three minutes). The Foxes played against 16th Watford on the road. Now they are in the third position. And they have excellent chances to keep it until the end of the championship. This place gives a direct ticket to the Champions League. But Leicester cannot lose points like that because it is only six points ahead of Chelsea. Manchester United is eight points behind. And there are eight more rounds to play.

Brighton (15th place in the standings) managed to beat Arsenal at home. Truth be told, it was only the seventh victory of the Seagulls in 30 rounds played. Nevertheless, these three points scored allowed them to go five points ahead of three outsiders. It will be incredibly difficult for a team to gain a second consecutive victory in Leicester. And there are several reasons for this.
Firstly, Brighton won in only two out of 15 away matches and lost eight times. Secondly, Leicester lost in only three out of 15 matches at home. But it lost to Manchester City and Liverpool, and another misfire happened in the game against Southampton. Thirdly, Brighton is just a convenient rival for the Foxes. Leicester won in four of the last five meetings, and one game ended in a draw. Therefore, it is quite possible to expect the victory of the hosts, who have a more powerful and coordinated lineup. At the same time, the Foxes are one of the best home teams of the championship - nine victories in 15 rounds. Leicester also has Vardi, who is the top scorer of the current championship. And he will certainly try to score such a defense (Brighton has already conceded 41 goals), so it’s quite possible to risk betting on his goal. But I will choose a simple option with Leicester’s victory.
Prediction for the match: Leicester to win
