Tottenham Hotspur vs. Leicester City 5/1/22 EPL Soccer Pick, Predictions, Odds

Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City face off on Sunday in an English Premier League showdown at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. When these two teams faced off on January 19th it was Tottenham that won 3-2. 

Tottenham Hotspur comes into this game sitting in 5th place in the standings having picked up 58 points. Tottenham has played really well coming into this game having picked up at least a point in five of the six games. In the last game against Brentford, Tottenham had 56 percent of the possession but had zero shots on goal and that led to the 0-0 draw. Over the last two games Tottenham has failed to score a goal, and they need to find a way to get the offense going. Tottenham has scored 56 goals total while their defense has given 38 goals. Son Heung-Min has been the top player for Tottenham Hotspur scoring 17 goals and adding six assists. Harry Kane has also been good scoring 12 goals and adding eight assists.

On the other side of this matchup is Leicester City who sits in 11th place in the standings having picked up 42 points. It has been a disappointing season for Leicester City but they have played to a draw in each of the last two games. Against Aston Villa, they only had two shots on target, and 65 percent of the possession, but they couldn’t find the back of the net. Leicester City also played a midweek game against Roma, and they played to a 1-1 draw. Leicester City has scored 47 goals while their defense has given up 51 goals. Jamie Vardy has been the top player for Leicester City scoring 10 goals and adding two assists. 

Leicester City’s defense has been better the last couple of games, and I expect they are going to find success again here. Tottenham Hotspur hasn’t scored in the last two games, and they aren’t going to break out here. Look for a 1-0 or 1-1 type of game and the under is going to cash.
