Leicester take on the visitors Everton in the round 33 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Monday, April 1st at King Power Stadium (Leicester).
Under Rodgers, Leicester were unable to replicate their fairy tale peak under Ranieri and never managed to return to the Champions League, although they did contend for fourth place, won the cup and the Super Cup, and played with some success in the Europa League. Last season was unsuccessful against this backdrop. But this one started with a terrible slump in August-September, on top of weak summer transfer results. The manager from Northern Ireland seemed to have dealt with this challenge. But this normalization lasted only until February and was replaced by a sharp spike, with an exit from the cup after the first draw and 8 losses in the Premier League. They could not tolerate this anymore, and the coach was replaced by Dean Smith. The new coach started with a defeat, albeit a more than expected 1-3 to Manchester City. But in the next round, they managed to show their willpower with a 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton. However, they were only able to secure a draw in the next game against Leeds, thanks to Jamie Vardy's equalizing goal in the 80th minute.

Everton had publicly declared their goal of fighting for a return to the Champions League when appointed Ancelotti, but it quickly turned into a fight for survival. A year ago, Lampard won this fight, replacing the failing Benitez, but in the end it turned out that Frank couldn't offer anything new compared to Rafa. This winter, he was fired, and Sean Dyche was able to start fairly well. Yes, in April, he couldn't win again, and losing 1-3 to unmotivated Fulham at home looked like a failure. However, this month, Mykolenko and his team were able to take points from Tottenham, playing them 1-1. And on the field of Crystal Palace, after staying in the minority after Holgate's second yellow on the 80th minute, the visitors from Liverpool were able to hold out for a 0-0 draw. By the way, it is not excluded that it had consequences later, a couple of days later. Was it because too much effort was spent in the previous round that they lost to Newcastle? However, the Toffees are much stronger now, as they confirmed with a 4-1 victory over The Toffees.
Since the end of 2019, Everton had not lost in six consecutive matches. But in November, Leicester won 2-0 away. The Foxes as a home team are considered a fairly obvious favorite of the pair. But The Irsis also want to grab points, and ideally, win. However, it is unlikely that this will result in a spectacular, bright football match. We recommend betting that in this confrontation between direct competitors, the total under 2.5 goals will be achieved.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
