Ahead of today’s free Leicester City vs Stoke City betting tips, the Foxes are without a win in three, but their form at the King Power Stadium over the past month deserves more attention than their latest trio of matches. Leicester City are unbeaten in five on their own patch, keeping three clean sheets in the process. Claude Puel’s men are stuck in mid-table limbo, however, with European football qualification out of reach and the threat of relegation non-existent.
Stoke City travel to take on the Foxes having won just one of their last nine matches in all competitions. New manager Paul Lambert has a huge job on his hands if he is to keep the Potters up this season. Their biggest problems in 2017/18 have come away from home, where SCFC have the worst record in the entire Premier League. They have won just once in thirteen games away from the Britannia.
We are backing the home side to come out on top in the first of our free Leicester City vs Stoke City bets and predictions for several reasons. Firstly, the Foxes’ recent results at the King Power are difficult to dismiss. Puel’s men have lost just two of their last ten EPL contests in front of their own fans and they have been beaten just four times there in thirteen league games in total.
The Potters arrive at the King Power Stadium with the worst away record in the division having collected just six points from a possible thirty-nine available on the road. That horrible sequence is compounded by their run of eight defeats in their last nine away fixtures in all competitions.
The Foxes are actually unbeaten in their last five meetings with Stoke. In their last two meetings in Leicester, the hosts won both times and kept two clean sheets to go with the points. The home side will want to erase the memory of their recent 1-5 demolition at the hands of Man City and a fixture against the club sitting second from bottom in the standings is the perfect opportunity to restore some positivity. The latest Premier League football betting odds at Betway Sports are the most lucrative available for our opening forecast.
We close our English football bets for today by adding a goalscorer selection to our Leicester City vs Stoke City predictions. Talismanic striker Jamie Vardy has blown hot and cold at times this season, though he is on course to surpass his Premier League goals total of thirteen from last season.
Vardy has found the net thirteen times in the league so far, averaging a goal every other game for the Foxes since the summer. 2018 has been a fruitful year so far for the England international who has hit four goals in seven games since the turn of the New Year.
Vardy is currently in the midst of a hot streak, having scored in each of his last three appearances against Everton, Swansea, and Man City respectively. Vardy is looking to score in this fixture for the third season running having registered in the last years 2-0 win and 3-0 victory during the 2016/17 campaign. You can back him to score anytime using the unbeatable odds at Unibet.
