At the legendary King Power Stadium, ambitious Elite Division newcomer Leicester will take on London Tottenham.

For Leicester, this match will be a return to the top football light after a year’s absence. “Foxes” brilliantly spent last season in the Championship, gaining several bright victories and securing a trip to the EPL. The team showed spectacular attacking football, but will they be able to perform as well at a higher level?

Odds for Leicester vs Tottenham

Bookmakers consider the guests from London as the favourite. Quotes for a Spurs victory are in the range of 1.65 to 1.675, indicating a high probability of their success. “Tottenham” with its powerful selection of performers looks more favourable and will try to take three points from the “King Power”.

Leicester’s chances of a home win are much more modest. The odds of the Foxes’ triumph range from 4.1 to 4.9. Steve Cooper’s team can spring a surprise, but they are still the clear underdog in this pairing.

Interestingly, the bookmakers consider the probability of a draw to be quite high. The odds for a draw are between 3.95 and 4.28, which is only slightly lower than the home team’s success. Last season Leicester and Tottenham drew at the Foxes’ ground, so such a result seems quite possible.

Leicester vs Tottenham Match Prediction

Tottenham are favourites to win the game, which is confirmed by the low odds of Spurs’ victory – from 1.65 to 1.675. The Londoners are superior to Leicester in terms of player selection and should take three points away from King Power.

Leicester, despite a successful return to the Premier League, is unlikely to be able to face Tottenham on equal terms. Bookmakers give high odds on the Foxes’ victory in the range from 4.1 to 4.9, which suggests that the home team’s chances of success are slim.

The history of face-to-face confrontations speaks about the advantage of Tottenham. In the last 10 matches, Spurs have won 6 games against Leicester’s 4. Overall, Tottenham have won 61 out of 120 meetings, scoring 245 goals against 194 for the Foxes. On average, the Londoners score just over 2 goals per game in these matches.

Given these factors, the most likely outcome of the match is Tottenham’s victory with a 1-2 goal difference. “Spurs” will try to seize the initiative from the first minutes and achieve a comfortable advantage. Leicester will struggle, but will hardly be able to avoid defeat.

Recent official meetings

Leicester

Leicester have enjoyed a successful end to the 2023/24 season in the Championship, picking up many important victories and securing their return to the Premier League. In the last nine league games, the Foxes have won five and lost five.

The big wins over Southampton (5-0) and Preston (3-0) were particularly impressive. Leicester showed great play in attack, scoring a total of eight goals in these two matches.

It is worth noting are important victories over West Bromwich (2:1), Birmingham (2:1) and Norwich (3:1). These results allowed Leicester to gain important points and consolidate their position at the top of the Championship table.

However, it was not without setbacks. Defeats to Blackburn (0:2), Plymouth (0:1), Millwall (0:1) and Bristol City (0:1) showed that the Foxes still have some work to do, especially in terms of stability and the ability to hold their own in difficult matches.

Leicester’s performance in the FA Cup deserves a special mention. “Foxes” reached the quarter-finals of the tournament, wherein a hard-fought battle was lost to Chelsea with a score of 2:4. Despite the defeat, the team showed decent football and managed to impose a fight against one of the giants of English football.

Overall, the season can be credited to Leicester. The team managed to return to the Premier League and showed that they can play bright, attacking football. Of course, the Foxes will have to work hard to improve stability and strengthen the defence, but the team has potential.

Tottenham

Tottenham finished the 2023/24 season in the Premier League extremely unstable, alternating victories with painful defeats. In the last ten matches, Spurs won four, lost five and drew once.

Undoubtedly, the main disappointment for Angelos Postecoglou’s team was a series of four consecutive defeats in April. Tottenham lost to Arsenal (2:3), Newcastle (0:4), Chelsea (0:2) and Liverpool (2:4), showing their vulnerability in matches against direct rivals. These failures seriously affected the team’s final position in the standings and deprived them of any chance of qualifying for the Champions League.

However, it did result in some positive moments. Tottenham had important wins over Sheffield United (3-0), Burnley (2-1), Nottingham Forest (3-1) and Luton Town (2-1)

The draw with West Ham (1-1) can be interpreted in two ways. On the one hand, Tottenham missed an opportunity to win against a crucial opponent. On the other hand, an away draw against a tough mid-table side is not the worst result.

Overall, the season has been a mixed bag for Tottenham. The team showed at times brilliant football and won beautiful victories, but at the same time suffered from a lack of stability and mental toughness in key matches.

History of head-to-head confrontations

In the last 10 head-to-head matches between Tottenham and Leicester, the Spurs’ advantage can be noted. Tottenham have won 6 times, while Leicester have won 4 times. In these matches, Tottenham scored 25 goals, while Leicester scored 17.

Tottenham’s most notable victories were matches in September 2022 (6-2) and May 2021 (4-2). However, Leicester have also had successes in recent face-to-face meetings. “Foxes” had a big win in February 2023 (4:1) and managed to beat Tottenham twice 2-0 in December 2020 and 2:1 in September 2019.

Turning to the general history of confrontations, we can say that Tottenham has a significant advantage. Out of 120 matches, Spurs have won 61, while Leicester have won 38. The difference in goals scored is significant: 245 for Tottenham against 194 for Leicester.
