Leicester take on the visitors Leeds in the round 12 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Thursday, October 20th at King Power Stadium (Leicester).
Leicester became the author of the main football sensation of the beginning of this century. Winning the English Premier League is an achievement that is almost impossible to repeat. Rogers did not try to reach the fabulous level that was under Ranieri. But with Brendan, the "foxes" fought twice almost to the last for the top-4 in the Premier League. Well, at the same time they won the FA Cup and the Super Cup. Is it possible that the mediocre result of last season caused so much disappointment among the management and owners of the project? In any case, Leicester started the new season extremely badly. Having missed a victory at home in the 1st round (they led Brentford 2-0, but ended in a draw), after that the team lost 6 times. It seems that the breakthrough happened after a pause for the games of the national teams - Nottingham Forest even defeated 4-0. But then it was 1-2 with the newcomer, Bournemouth. Against this background, and 0-0 with "Crystal Palace" looks like a good achievement.

Leeds last season could not cope with a pile of problems for a long time. As a result, only a resonant decision helped to escape relegation from the Premier League. The management fired Marcelo Bielsa, a mentor who finally raised the project from the Championship, and kept the "peacocks" in the elite 2020/2021. But it worked: with Jesse Marsh, the Whites scored enough points to stay in the Premier League. Moreover, after the summer holidays, during which Leeds seriously updated the squad, it also turned out to be a strong start. The team took 7 points in the first 3 rounds, including beating Chelsea. Yes, and in the League Cup did not experience problems. But then the bad streak began. Back in August it was 0-1 with Brighton and 1-1 with Everton. September brought 2-5 with Brentford. And after a pause for the matches of the national teams, the Whites recorded 0-0 with Aston Villa and 1-2 in London with Crystal Palace. A little lacked with Arsenal - Saka's goal, scored in the 1st half, remained the only one. Although Arteta later admitted that it was difficult for his team.
The two sides exchanged away victories last season. In the 2021/2022 draw, Leicester did better: 1-1 away, 1-0 at home. Bookmakers are leaning towards Leicester's victory. But them, like Leeds, have been poor through first part of the season. So the option with “total less than 3.0” suggests itself.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
