LEICESTER - BARNSLEY PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

League Form:

Leicester P20 W11 D3 L6 Pts 36 GF35 GA18 GD+17 - Average goals per game: 2.65

Barnsley P20 W4 D5 L11 Pts 17 GF19 GA32 GD-13 Average goals per game 2.55

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Leicester continued their good run with an easy 4-1 home win against Derby. Yet again they dominated a match for its entirety. Leicester are one of the inform sides in the division, With one of the best defences and a very strong attack they are an extremely well balanced side. With three wins from the last four games The Foxes are looking strong. David Nugent returned from his injury and got 20 minutes, he wasted no time with two goals in his cameo and is certain to start here.

Barnsley’s terrible run of form continues, with no wins in nine games now and 6 of them defeats. The only good news is the return of top scorer Craig Davies. Barnsley have been scoring which was a problem for them, however they are conceding heavily and look in big trouble.Marcus Tudgay is class at this level and has found his feet at Barnsley with two goals in the last two games. Barnsley have a problem creating though and for me are looking like a team destined for the drop.

LEICESTER - BARNSLEY 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

Leicester at 1.44 (Ladbrokes) is the selection. This is a good price here, although on the short side Barnsley look finished. Leicester are really strong in all departments and should be able to net a few here. Barnsley were smashed 4-1 last week at Watford, Leicester are a better all round team than them so should be set for a similar result. These are two sides heading in opposite directions for sure. Leicester are 19 point ahead of their gameday rivals and should be a whole lot shorter for me. After dispatching a host of top sides Barnsley will hold little fear for the rampant home side.

LEICESTER - BARNSLEY:ASIAN HANDICAP PREDICTION

Leicester are selected here at -1.5 (2.14 Pinnacle) Barnsley are one of the worst sides in the league. With only 4 wins and 5 draws from 20 games they are in big trouble. Leicester are playing some quality stuff and most importantly in this division have a really solid defence. For us to collect here Leicester must win by 2 clear goals and I think they are more than capable of this.

LEICESTER - BARNSLEY:TOTAL GOALS PREDICTION

Over 2.50 1.70 (Bet-at-home) is the bet here. This on the face of it looks a good overs bet, Leicester are fairly flying at the moment and look good for at least two goals themselves. Barnsley are a little shot shy but they have to start having a go in games and they could score here. Leicester tend to kick on after going ahead and they are capable of covering the spread on their own. Total average is 2.60 goals per game. Last 10 matches has seen 5 games go Over 2.5, with a total of 31 goals for an average of 3.10 goals per game.
