Leicester City vs. Manchester City Preview and Betting Odds

After a Christmas break, Premier League soccer continues with everything this weekend to close the year 2024 on the right foot.

For now, Liverpool remains at the top of the standings with 42 points, seven more than Chelsea, its closest rival. In addition, the Reds have a game in hand, so they have everything in their favor to be crowned this season in the EPL.

Nottingham Forest won their fourth game in a row and took advantage of Arsenal’s defeat to climb, surprisingly, to third place in the standings. Meanwhile, Manchester City, the reigning champions of English soccer, are still in an impressive debacle, with only one win in their last 11 games.

Now, one of the most interesting games of the day will be between Leicester City and Manchester City, which will be played this Sunday.

Leicester City vs. Manchester City Betting Odds and Info

Why bet on Leicester City?

Leicester City is not having its dream return to the Premier League. The team has not been able to play at its best level, and if they do not generate a 180° change, they could return to the Championship immediately.

Leicester is currently in 18th place in the standings, i.e. in the relegation zone, with a terrible record of three wins, five draws, and ten defeats, with 22 goals scored and 40 conceded. This team has not done well at all in this first half of the season, so they need to change all if they do not want to sink much further in the standings.

On the other hand, it is also fair to mention that the team comes from three consecutive defeats in the Premier League, the most recent against Liverpool by 1-3.

Why bet on Manchester City?

On the other hand, we have the big surprise (negative) of this 2024/25 Premier League season, Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola’s team is not getting anywhere this season, and right now, they will not be in any European position for next season. Although there is still a long way to go, the team needs to react as soon as possible, as they have accumulated only one victory in the last eleven matches in all competitions.

Moreover, in this period, they have only managed to keep a clean sheet on one occasion, while they conceded 28 goals. There is no doubt that the Citizens need to wake up as soon as possible, as they are currently seventh in the table, 14 points behind the top, with a record of eight wins, four draws, and six defeats.

City come into this matchday after drawing their most recent game at home to Everton with a 1-1 score.
