Leicester vs. Tottenham Predictions, Betting Tips & Match Preview

BY SOCCERBASE STAFF4:50 pM 19 Aug 2024

This is a spot where Tottenham dominated last season winning all eight games home and away against the bottom four sides. Leicester obviously lost Maresca and their best player Dewsbury-Hall to Chelsea. Daka is out with an injury and Vardy is a major injury doubt too, although he is coming to the end of his rehab according to Cooper. Spurs have a fully fit and strengthened squad with Gray and Solanke look set to start. Cooper's Nottingham Forest lost 2-0 at home to Spurs last season and he's working with a much weaker squad.

Tottenham conceded 19 of their 34 away goals from set pieces last season. Wout Faes had 23 shots last season in 43 starts. Vestegaard had 24 shots, but will be replaced by new signing Okoli. The Nigerian had 6 shots in 32 starts for Frosinone last season. Leicester will be more reliant on Faes from set pieces without Vestergaard and the Belgian isn't afraid to have a pop from long range either.

Winks will have additional motivation facing his old club and is up against two big foul drawers in Son (2.45) and Maddison (2.79). Second in yellow cards for Leicester last season with 9.

Faes down the same side as Winks and his lack of pace could see his name get added to the book. He likes to be aggressive in duels and will be up against Spurs new number 9, Dominic Solanke.

Pape Sarr will be exposed in transition against Mavididi's pace when covering in behind Pedro Porro, who likes to bomb forward. Second for Spurs in yellow cards last season with 9.

Chris Kavanagh is on the whistle, who averaged 4.40 cards per game in the Premier League last season.
