Leicester vs Bournemouth prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - October 5, 2024
One of the fights of the seventh round of the English Premier League will be played on Saturday at the King Power Arena, where the local Leicester will take on Bournemouth. We offer a prediction for this match from a team of Dailysports experts.
Leicester
‘Foxes’ in many ways sensationally flew out of the elite division in 2023, but did not delay in making a comeback. Having won the Championship last season, the team is back playing in the Premier League. However, the Foxes have had notable difficulties in the opening rounds. At the expense of Vardy's goal Leicester managed to take one point in the confrontation with Tottenham.
But then there were defeats from Fulham and Aston Villa, as well as draws with Crystal Palace and Everton. Last weekend Leicester travelled to London, where they gave a fight to Arsenal and lost with a score of 2:4. As a result, after six rounds, the team is only 17th in the standings, ahead of the teams from the departure zone only on additional indicators.
Bournemouth
‘Cherries’ last season under the leadership of Andoni Iraola finished on the 12th line, although a season earlier with difficulty won the fight for survival. In the new draw Bournemouth did not start in the best way, having drawn with Nottingham Forest and Newcastle in the opening two rounds.
After the defeat to West Ham in the League Cup, the Cherries travelled to visit Everton, where they won 3-2. Chelsea and Liverpool failed to pick up any points, but Bournemouth again took three points when they travelled to a comparable opponent. Last weekend Bournemouth beat Southampton 3-1. As a result, the team is in 11th place with 8 points.
