Tottenham vs Leicester Prediction 26 January 2025

🔊 Will the upcoming match bring intrigue? In the 23rd round of the EPL, Leicester, currently in terrible form, will visit Tottenham, who are also having a season well below expectations. The match will take place in London, so the "Spurs" are big favorites. Few experts predict an even game at the "Tottenham Hotspur Stadium".

📊 Head-to-head

After a series of thrilling matches that Tottenham and Leicester delivered year after year, the teams decided to slow down, and their first head-to-head meeting this season unexpectedly turned out to be low-scoring. The "Spurs" created more chances, but Jamie Vardy's goal prevented them from taking the win at "King Power" (1:1).

⚪ Tottenham

The "Spurs" continue to fight with all their might to save the season. In the EPL, things aren't going well, but the situation is favorable in the Europa League. Thanks to a victory over Hoffenheim (3:2) with a brace from Son, Ange Postecoglou's team secured a spot in the top-8 before the final round of the group stage and has excellent chances to advance directly to the Round of 16. This is definitely a joyful moment, but smiles quickly fade from the faces of the "Lilywhites" fans when mentioning the club's infirmary. Injuries are the main problem for the hosts. An entire lineup is literally on sick leave. Of the regular starters, only Son, Kulusevski, Porro, and Maddison are ready for the upcoming match.

🔵 Leicester

It seems Ruud van Nistelrooy realized he shouldn't have gotten involved in this venture. Rumors are already circulating that the Dutchman is tired of working and wants to leave Leicester. The management promised him winter reinforcements, but they are nowhere to be seen, and the team continues to sink deeper. Just a couple of wins would be enough to get out of the relegation zone, but how can they achieve them if the "Foxes" have stopped scoring? They lost 0:2 to both Crystal Palace and Fulham, so the near future doesn't look very promising. There are no changes in the visitors' infirmary either. Hermansen, Pereira, Issahaku, and Ndidi still cannot help their teammates.

⚽️ Goal Prediction

We have two teams associated with high scoring. And trends confirm this. Total over 2.5 goals played in 8 of Tottenham's last 9 home matches and in 9 of Leicester's last 10 away matches in the EPL. Another "over" is expected.

🚩 Corner Prediction

The "Spurs" are having a poor season, hovering in the lower part of the table. But in terms of corners, they haven't slowed down, as evidenced by an average of 7.77 deliveries per game (2nd in the EPL). Tottenham delivers more than 5.5 corners in 13 of their last 15 league matches, which could be an excellent bet for the upcoming game.

📝 Match Prediction

There is a feeling that Leicester has significantly declined in terms of mentality. Things aren't going well for the "Foxes", while the "Spurs", despite huge personnel difficulties, occasionally manage to achieve positive results. This is exactly what we expect from them now. The support of home fans and one of the weakest teams in the league as opponents - an ideal recipe for a long-awaited victory in domestic competition. We believe that a match rich in events will end with a victory for Tottenham with a large scoreline, for example, 4:1. The success of the hosts is our main choice.
