Bournemouth vs Leicester prediction and betting tips on February 26, 2024
One of the matches in the 1/8 finals of the FA Cup will take place on Tuesday at the Vitality Stadium, where Bournemouth will host Leicester. Here's the prediction for this match from Dailysports experts.
Bournemouth
In recent matches, there has been a noticeable decline in the performance of Andoni Iraola's team. Last weekend, in a home match against Manchester City, "the Cherries" suffered defeat, conceding the only goal from Foden in the middle of the first half. This loss marked their third consecutive defeat, as Bournemouth has been unable to secure a win in the Premier League for seven matches in a row. Currently, Bournemouth sits in 14th place in the league table, with an eight-point cushion above the relegation zone. In the FA Cup, Andoni Iraola's team progressed past QPR and Swansea.
Leicester
The "Foxes" were confidently leading in the Championship, seemingly on course for promotion to the elite division. However, Leicester suffered defeats in their last two matches. First, there was an unexpected loss to Middlesbrough at home (1:2), and last weekend, Enzo Maresca's team lost away to Leeds with a score of 1:3, who are currently in second place. Consequently, the gap ahead of Leeds and Ipswich has narrowed to six points, whereas just a few weeks ago, Leicester was 12 points ahead. In the FA Cup, the "Foxes" successively defeated Millwall and Birmingham.
