The 2022-23 English Premier League season goes on Monday, May 1, with the relegation six-pointer from King Power Stadium, so we have prepared the best Leicester vs. Everton betting pick along with the latest odds update.
Leicester – Everton Betting Tip, Prediction & Odds (1.5.2023)
We are expecting a great battle at King Power Stadium, as both Leicester and Everton are in danger of being relegated from the Premier League. Neither side can afford to lose this game, and earning a point won’t help a lot, too.
Leicester vs. Everton: Initial Situation
Everton will host Newcastle on Thursday night, and this match has been excluded from the analysis. At the time of writing, Everton were 18th in the Premier League with 28 points (W6, D10, L16) and a 24:46 goal difference, while Leicester were 17th with 29 points (W8, D5, L20) and a 44:57 goal difference.
Leicester Stats & Form
The Foxes are coming off Tuesday’s 1-1 draw against Leeds on the road. Now, the Foxes are unbeaten in two straight outings, as they beat Wolves 2-1 at home this past Saturday to stop a four-game losing streak. In their last ten showings at King Power Stadium, Leicester have recorded seven losses, a couple of wins, and a draw. Seven of those ten contests have produced more than a couple of goals in total.
Harvey Barnes is Leicester’s leading scorer in 2022-23. The 25-year-old winger has bagged ten goals in 35 appearances in all competitions. The 26-year-old striker Kelechi Iheanacho has scored eight goals across 33 apps, while the 26-year-old attacking midfielder James Maddison has nine goals and seven dishes on his season tally.
Everton Stats & Form
The Toffees entered the Newcastle clash hoping to snap their five-game winless streak. They’ve earned three points in that stretch (Crystal Palace 0-0, Tottenham 1-1, and Chelsea 2-2) while losing to Manchester United 2-0 on the road and Fulham 3-1 at home. The Toffees haven’t emerged victorious in 14 consecutive showings away from home in all competitions, recording five stalemates and nine defeats in the process.
Everton own the lowest-scoring offense in the Premier League. The 26-year-old winger Demarai Gray leads the way for the Toffees with six goals in 33 appearances this season, while the 26-year-old midfielder Alex Iwobi is the team’s best assist-maker with eight dishes across 35 matches.
Leicester – Everton: Head-to-Head
Leicester have posted one win, two draws, and three defeats in their last six encounters with Everton. The Foxes outlasted the Toffees 2-0 as 2.90 road underdogs in their first meeting of the season. Only one of the previous five dates between these two foes has seen more than a couple of goals on the scoreboard.
Leicester – Everton Odds
The Foxes are slight favorites in front of the home crowd, and Unibet Sportsbook offers 2.20 odds on the hosts to earn three points. Bet365 Sportsbook has the best odds on Everton (3.40), while a draw pays 3.50 at BetVictor Sportsbook. The bookmakers are not expecting to see a ton of goals, and Over 2.5 Goals pays 2.05 at bet365.
Predicting the outcome in a match like this one is a tricky job. I would stay away from the side bet and take Both Teams to Score YES at 1.90 with Unibet instead. Although Everton have struggled to score all season long, the Toffees should be able to find the back of the net against the Foxes’ leaky defense. Leicester haven’t recorded a clean sheet in 13 consecutive Premier League matches, and six of their previous eight home games have seen both teams score.
