Leicester City vs. Tottenham Hotspur 12/16/21 Premier League Soccer Picks, Predictions, Odds

Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur face off on Thursday in an English Premier League showdown at King Power Stadium. When these two teams last faced off in May it was Tottenham that won 4-2. 

Tottenham comes into this sitting in 7th place in the standings having picked up 25 points. Tottenham has played well coming into this game having won three games in a row. In the last game against Norwich City, the offense was elite scoring three goals and that led to the victory. Lucas Moura opened up the scoring in the 10th minute and they never looked back as they cruised to the victory. Tottenham is averaging 16 points while their defense has given up 17 goals. Son Heung-Min has been the top player for Tottenham scoring six goals and adding two assists. There are eight different players who have scored at least one goal. 

On the other side of this matchup is Leicester City who sit in 8th place in the standings having picked up 22 points. Leicester City has been inconsistent this season but they are coming off a big win in their last game. The offense was elite against Newcastle scoring four goals and that led to the blowout victory. Youri Tielemans was the top player scoring two goals in this game. Leicester City has scored 27 goals total while their defense has scored 27 goals total. Jamie Vardy has been the top player scoring nine goals and adding an assist. Vardy wasn’t included in the last game and it’s unclear if he will go in this game. 

Leicester City’s defense hasn’t been good all season, and they are going to struggle to defend Tottenham again in this game. I do think their offense will be good though, and this game is going to go over the total.
