Command Analysis
Leicester City
EnglandCurrent form
A year later, Leicester returned to the Premier League. Under the leadership of Enzo Maresca, they managed to win the Championship, but they will have to consolidate their position in the Premier League without the Italian, who left for a promotion to Chelsea. The former head coach of Nottingham Forest, Steve Cooper , is now in charge.
During the pre-season friendlies, the "foxes" did not impress. The only victory that can be noted is the victory over "Villarreal" (2:1). At the same time, in the last three friendlies, there were losses to "Palermo", "Augsburg" and "Lens" - in none of these matches did they manage to hit the opponents' goal.
Leicester have not made any major acquisitions yet. We will only note the arrival of defender Okolie, midfielders Reid, Golding and Buonanotte. However, a significant loss was the departure of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall , who moved to Chelsea along with Maresca.
Disqualifications and injuries
Defender Conor Coady and forward Patson Daka will be sidelined today due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Leicester have lost their last three matches and have not scored a single goal
- In three of the hosts' previous five matches, the first half ended in a draw with an exact score of 0:0.
Probable line-up : Hermansen - Justin, Fahs, Okolie, Christensen - Ndidi, Winks - Fatawu, Buonanotte, Mavididi - Cannon.
Tottenham Hotspur
EnglandCurrent form
For two years in a row, Tottenham have failed to break into the top 4 and win a ticket to the Champions League. It seemed that last season everything was going in favor of the Spurs, who, unlike their competitors, did not participate in European competitions, and were eliminated in the national tournaments at the early stages. At the start, the Londoners were good, even claiming a place in the top 3. However, there was not enough stability over the distance, plus the final period turned out to be a failure - five defeats in the last seven rounds.
In the summer, the management allocated good money for transfers. As a result, Ange Postecoglou received Bournemouth forward Dominic Solanke and Leeds midfielder Archie Gray . A good star duo in attack is expected: Solanke - Son Heung-min. Let us recall that the Korean is starting his tenth season with Spurs and in eight of them he scored at least 10 goals in the Premier League. Defenders Joe Rodon, Eric Dier and Emerson Royal, as well as midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, have left the team.

Disqualifications and injuries
Yves Bissouma has been given a club ban of at least one match.

- At least three goals have been scored in 18 of Tottenham's last 21 matches.
- Spurs have conceded at least two goals in seven of their last ten away Premier League games.
- Tottenham have lost just three corners in their last 37 matches.
Probable line-up : Vicario - Porro, Romero, van de Ven, Udoji - Sarr, Gray, Maddison - Kulusevski, Solanke, Son.

2.27Tip and bets
Tottenham Hotspur was remembered for its powerful start last season, when it was among the leaders for quite a long time. It is quite possible to expect the same start this time, considering that the squad has only strengthened, Postecoglou remained at the helm. Leicester changed the coach, and it is far from certain that it will be able to surprise with something right away, especially since there were no serious transfers. In four of the five previous face-to-face confrontations, the Spurs dealt with the Foxes, it is unlikely that today we should expect a sensation.
Our prediction is a Tottenham win with odds of 1.64
Bet on total
Tottenham have a powerful attack, which has been strengthened by the arrival of Solanke. However, in defense, especially away from home, Spurs do not always look convincing - in seven of the last ten away matches in the Premier League they have conceded at least two goals. It is also impossible to ignore the fact that in the previous five head-to-head encounters at least four goals were scored.
The second bet is total over 3.5 goals with odds of 2.40
Bet on corners
Another promising trend in Leicester's corner statistics is worth noting. In eight of their last nine home games in the Premier League, the Foxes have not taken more than four corners.
Prediction - Leicester's individual total corners under 4.5 with odds of 1.65
