25th April 2023 – 21:00, Elland Road, Leeds
Leeds United and Leicester City will face each other in the Premier League 33rd round on Tuesday evening. It is an important game for both teams in their relegation battles, and the winner will be closer to survival.
Leeds United Preview & Team News
Leeds United will be hoping to return to winning ways here following the 2-1 Premier League loss in their previous game against Fulham. The third defeat in a row brought the hosts dangerously close to the red zone, and they are only a point ahead of their next opponent and Everton. It has been a rare occasion in recent games where Leeds United has managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Leeds United has failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous six matches, leaking 20 goals during that time. There aren’t many personnel worries, with just a single fitness concern for the Leeds United boss Javi Gracia to contend with from an otherwise complete set of players. Stuart Dallas (Femoral Fracture) misses out.
Leicester City Preview & Team News
Leicester City heads into the clash after a 2-1 Premier League win over Wolverhampton Wanderers in their most recent game. That victory dragged the Foxes out of the relegation zone, but they are leveled with Everton, who is first below the red line. Leicester City has been a threat going forward of late, scoring six times in their last six matches. Having said that, Leicester City has had its issues at the back, also conceding in 6 of those same clashes. Let’s see if that trend can be sustained in this game. Leicester City boss Dean Smith has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Ryan Bertrand (Knee Surgery), Jonny Evans (Calf Injury), and James Justin (Achilles tendon rupture) will miss out on this game.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
It is going to be a close game, and we anticipate much excitement on Tuesday evening. Neither team has enjoyed good form recently, and we won’t be surprised if they split points at Elland Road.
Goals Market Prediction
Both sides have had issues in the backline lately, which resulted in many conceded goals. We expect quite the same this time, and they shouldn’t keep a clean sheet in this encounter.
