Leicester take on the visitors Nottingham in the round 9 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Monday, October 3rd at King Power Stadium (Leicester).
Leicester have been a major disappointment and surprise with a negative start to this season in English football. Performance in the last draw by the wards of Brendan Rodgers was alarming. The team that previously fought for 4th place finished outside the European Cup zone. In the summer, they sold Schmeichel and Fofana leading players, somehow finding a replacement for them. But these failures of the “foxes” still cannot be explained. They did not win at all, even the modest Stockport in the League Cup was beaten only in penalty shootout. Moreover, the only point in the Premier League was taken in the very 1st round. And how: they led 2 goals against Brentford, but managed to concede twice in return. All other fights were lost, which eventually led to the last place. Brighton scored them 5 goals, Tottenham - 6. A respite was definitely needed, but will it do any good?

Nottingham Forest finally won a ticket to the Premier League last season. They had to fight to the last: the Foresters escaped from the Championship only through a sieve of play-offs. True, a different team was actually successful in the playoffs. The mentor, Steve Cooper, is in place, but a record number of newcomers have been recruited. They continued to be signed even after the "deadline", switching to free agents. Kanurić became the 23rd player to move here. Not surprisingly, the results only sank. In August, it turned out to beat West Ham and take a point with Everton. This is not counting the cup victory over the modest Grimsby. But all 4 extreme rounds invariably ended in defeats. However, if there were no chances with Tottenham and Manchester City as expected, then both Bournemouth and Fulham defeated Nottingham with score of 2-3.
Since 2014, when Leicester left the Championship, the sides have played only once, in the cup in February of this year. Then Nottingham Forest won with a crushing score of 4-1. The bookies believe that Leicester can finally win. But this club plays very inexpressively. So we recommend betting on "over 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
