Leicester take on the visitors Tottenham in the round 1 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Monday, August 19th at King Power Stadium (Leicester).
Leicester became a living football legend, not only in British football but across Europe, sensationally winning the Premier League under Ranieri. They couldn't repeat that success, even under Rodgers, though Brendan did have some bright years, with cup triumphs and European campaigns. However, after the tragic death of their former owner in a helicopter crash, everything quickly fell apart, and in the spring of last year, the team dropped to the Championship… only to immediately bounce back—Maresca, albeit with some questions (they had plenty of problems in the spring), managed to bring his side back to the Premier League "straight away." After that, he moved on to Chelsea. He was replaced by Steve Cooper, best known for guiding Nottingham Forest to promotion and keeping them in the top division. There are some interesting new players too—Caleb Okoli, Facundo Buonanotte. They're also trying to sign Zaha, Nelson, and Bergwijn, though they likely won’t feature in the first round.

Tottenham will try to achieve what they couldn’t last season. The "Spurs" failed in the 2022/2023 campaign, and last summer their long-time leader, Harry Kane, left London. Under such circumstances, few believed in the success of the new manager, Postecoglou. Yes, Ange dominated the Scottish Premiership with Celtic, but this was his first experience in the Premier League, or any top-tier league for that matter. He nearly pulled it off—only a sensational run by Aston Villa kept Spurs out of the top four. The Australian gets another shot, and the squad has noticeably changed: they parted ways with Tanganga, Højbjerg, Sessegnon, Bryan Gil, Reguilón, and sold Emerson to AC Milan. In return, they spent a record £55 million (potentially rising by another £10 million) on Solanke from Bournemouth, and another £10 million on a promising Swedish teenager, Bergvall, while also signing the "new Son," Yang Min Heok. Essentially, it will be the usual squad but with a new full-time striker. There's still a couple of weeks left to strengthen further, perhaps by signing Chiesa, who isn’t needed at Juventus.
The "Spurs" have won four straight matches against the "Foxes." But in February of last year, they were crushed at the King Power Stadium 1-4. The "Spurs" are considered clear favorites in this matchup. However, while they score plenty, they often concede, and the home team will look to start their campaign by picking up points. We recommend betting on "total goals over 3.0."
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 scored goals.
