The upcoming match between Leicester and Tottenham is going to be in the sights of many football fans, who are looking forward to finding out where both teams stand against each other. Below is an in-depth view of their head-to-head record and current form that sets the stage for today's match.
Head-to-Head Record
The two teams have locked horns a total of 30 times in their history. Here's how those matches ended:
- Leicester Wins: 10
- Tottenham Wins: 16
- Draws: 4
Goals are expected when these two teams face each other. Their games have averaged 4.07 goals per match, which showcases their talent on offense but sometimes their leaky defenses.
Current Season Form
Leicester City:
- Goals per Match: 0.80
- Home Matches with Over 1.5 Goals: 0 (0.00%)
- Home Matches with Over 2.5 Goals: 0 (0.00%)
Scoring has been shy this season for Leicester, averaging 0.80 goals per game. At home, none of their matches have gone over the 1.5 or 2.5 goal threshold, which also makes them pretty inept at scoring in their own stadium.
Tottenham Hotspur:
- Goals per Match: 2.20
- Away Matches with Over 1.5 Goals: 4 (100.00%)
- Away Matches with Over 2.5 Goals: 3 (75.00%)
Tottenham has been in excellent form in attack, scoring an average of 2.20 goals per match. Indeed, all their away matches have ended with over 1.5 goals scored, while three out of four away matches saw more than 2.5 goals, which truly outlines their great attacking skill on the road.
What to Expect
Given historical precedent, current statistics, and particularly the stronger attacking form from Tottenham with scoring woes on Leicester's part, today might well be a case wherein Tottenham comes out the favorite. If Leicester is to turn the tables, they will tighten up their defense and find a way to penetrate Tottenham's backline.
The beautiful game, as usual, is as unpredictable as it can get, and anything might happen on the pitch. It surely will entertain to watch how this all works out in today's encounter.
