Tottenham vs Leicester prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – January 26, 2025
One of the matches of the 23rd round of the English Premier League will take place on Sunday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where Tottenham will host Leicester. I suggest a bet on the outcome of this match with good chances of success.
Match preview
The Londoners are clearly in a tailspin, extending their losing streak in the Premier League to three matches. First, they lost at home to Newcastle (1-2), then fell on the road to Arsenal (1-2) and Everton (2-3). Such failures have not been recorded for Spurs since May last year.
Postecoglou's team is struggling to pick up points, going six consecutive games without a win (1 draw and 5 losses). As a result, they have dropped to 15th place and are now teetering on the edge, with only an 8-point cushion from the relegation zone. It’s worth noting that Tottenham consistently delivers high-scoring matches: the "total over 2.5" bet has hit in 7 of their last 8 games.
Leicester’s situation is even more dire than Tottenham’s. They have suffered seven consecutive defeats in the Premier League, and their home matches have turned into nightmares. Their last four games at the King Power Stadium ended without scoring a single goal and an aggregate score of 0-9.
This streak has sent the Foxes into the relegation zone, although there’s still hope for salvation – they are just two points behind 17th place. The team’s attack is currently toothless, with only two goals scored in their last seven league matches. Digging deeper, Leicester has only one win in 14 games since October (2 draws and 11 losses).
Probable lineups
- Tottenham: Antonin Kinsky – Archie Gray, Radu Dragusin, Ben Davies – Djed Spence, Pedro Porro, Lucas Bergvall, Pape Sarr – Dejan Kulusevski, Son Heung-min, James Maddison.
- Leicester: Jakub Stolarczyk – Jannik Vestergaard, Victor Kristiansen, Wout Faes, James Justin – Harry Winks, Boubakary Soumaré – Stephy Mavididi, Bilal El Khannous, Jordan Ayew – Jamie Vardy.
