Leicester vs Stoke: Preview and Prediction

England Premier League
Saturday 24th February 2018
Kick off at 12.30pm GMT
Venue: King Power Stadium

Match Preview:

Leicester will be looking to win their first game in 3 matches when they welcome Stoke to the King Power Stadium for this Saturday lunchtime kick off.

Whilst the Foxes have improved in the second half of the season they are currently experiencing poor form having lost to Everton and then drawing at home to Swansea City. In their last league game they were destroyed 5-1 away to Manchester City, but the clubs home form is much better where they have not lost a game since December 16th.

Stoke are currently in the relegation zone in 19th position and have not won a game in a month. A win here could see them escape the bottom three depending on other results and so they will be highly motivated as the bottom half of the table remains very tight.

However there is one statistic that stands out: Stoke has the worst away record in the Premier League. From 13 matches they have won just once, losing 9 matches. They have conceded the most goals (32) on the road and have lost their last 3 matches in a row.

 

Leicester vs Stoke Team News:

Leicester vs Stoke Head to Head:

Leicester vs Stoke Prediction:

From all of the Premier League fixtures this week this one looks the most clear cut and that is to see a home win. Leicester are too good to keep up this poor form and Stoke can’t seem to buy a win away from home.
