Leicester vs Stoke City 01.04.2017/ England Premier
Time for the English Premier League to return after the international break. Round 30 provides us again with interesting fixtures and one of them is on King Power Stadium where the champions Leicester City take on Stoke City.
The hosts although champions from last season were headed towards the danger zone. That was until a few games ago when Claudio Ranieri was sacked and replaced by Craig Shakespeare. Since then 4 straight wins including one over Liverpool and a turnaround in the aggregate result against Sevilla in the Champions League. Vardy is also getting into form and is now first both in assists and in goals for Leicester and also scored for England in the weekend. Another prove of the excellent form the champions are coming into are the 3 goals per game in their last 3 league outings.
Stoke are a solid team but most of their points come at home. They sit on 9th place after losing 1-0 to WBA last game. Their defensive line looks shaky away with 17 goals in their last seven trips and their attack hasn’t found the net in their last 3 away games. Adding to the situation are also the injuries of Jack Butland and Stephen Ireland who will both miss the game. Glen Johnson is also a doubt and may not be able to carry full 90minutes.
On their head to head stats nothing really comes in handy as they have drawn 4 and each won 2 of their last 7 games. With Leicester vastly improving their play and form I expect them to try and win this one.
Leicester vs Stoke City prediction: 1 @ 2,00
