Leicester vs Manchester United Match Preview

For the 8th round of the English Premier League, Leicester welcomes Manchester United at King Power Stadium.

Leicester comes from a 2-2 away draw vs Crystal Palace in their last match in the Premier League. A result that cannot satisfy them based on the course of the match, as in the first half they were in lead with two goals. In the second half, however, their performance dropped and in combination with their many defensive mistakes, they gave the chance to the hosts to reach a draw sharing points between these two teams.

This was the fourth consecutive winless match for Leicester and with a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses are after 7 games they are in 13th place in the standings with 8 points.

Manchester United played a 1-1 draw vs Everton before the international break, losing points for a second consecutive home game. They seemed to be affected by the rotation of Ole Gunnar Solkjaer. They took the lead before halftime, but at 65΄ Everton leveled the game and then the hosts had fewer chances than their opponents and they could even have lost the match.

The end of the 7th round found Manchester in 4th place with 14 points, having 2 less from the first-placed Chelsea.

Both teams are coming from bad results and will look for a return to winning ways. Leicester, despite their quality, is not convincing, Manchester is running an unbeaten streak of 29 away games but they concede goals easily. My pick is Over 2.5 goals at 1.70 odds.
