Leicester v Fulham

Following a disappointing but well-fought battle at The King Power Stadium which produced a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace, Leicester are now on a 6-game losing streak and seeking perhaps unlikely redemption against Fulham. 

The visitors dropped 3 points to West Ham last time out, although it seems luck may have had a part to play on that occasion with the xG reading 1.90-0.95 in their favour. Previous to that, Fulham were on an 8-game unbeaten run in the league, despite having faced the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Tottenham over the period.

⭐ Leicester v Fulham Best Bet

Previous to their loss against West Ham, Fulham were on an 8-game unbeaten run in the league, despite having faced the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Tottenham over that timeframe. Their defeat at the hands of The Hammers was uncharacteristic and the xG suggests that fortune may had its say, reading 1.90 - 0.95 in favour of the Cottagers.

Leicester, on the other hand, have lost 6 straight games in the league, scoring just 2 goals in the process. They’ve won just 3 of their 21 league games and it’d be quite the upset if they took all 3 points on this occasion. Fulham look an excellent price at 1.95 here.

🟢 Leicester v Fulham #WhatOddsPaddy Tip

Meanwhile, Leicester have conceded at least 2 in each of their most recent 8 matches with even QPR managing the feat.

👕 Leicester v Fulham Predicted XI

🔍 Leicester v Fulham Players to Watch

🔵 Boubakary Soumare

Soumare has averaged 1.46 fouls per 90 minutes this season, making his generous pricing to commit just 1 foul against Fulham surprising.

Since moving into the defensive midfield role for Leicester, he has committed at least 1 foul in all 7 starts, accumulating 5 yellow cards during this stretch, bringing his season total to 8 - an impressive feat given he’s started just 10 games to date.

In his most recent outing against Crystal Palace, Soumare committed 2 fouls, despite Leicester only recording 7 as a team over the full 90 minutes.

⚪ Harry Wilson

Harry Wilson has carved out a unique role in Fulham’s setup, with his eagerness to take shots making him a standout player to watch.

This season, he’s averaged an impressive 3.51 shots per 90 minutes, the highest among Fulham players. Wilson’s numbers are even more striking when compared to Fulham’s other wingers - Iwobi, Traoré, and Nelson - all of whom average under 2.4 shots per 90.

He has managed at least 3 shots in 5 of his 6 league starts, only missing the mark in his season debut against Brighton. Given Leicester’s defensive frailties, Wilson should have ample opportunities to test the keeper in this matchup.

⚪ Alex Iwobi

Iwobi has been a constant presence for Fulham this season, starting all 21 league matches across various roles in attack, midfield, and even defence. His average of 0.94 shots on target per 90 minutes offers value but doesn’t fully account for the impact of his positional versatility, which has likely reduced his attacking output.

Focusing on his last 11 matches, where he spent at least part of the game on the wing, Iwobi recorded 14 shots on target, testing the goalkeeper in 8 of those games. 2 of the 3 exceptions came against title contenders Arsenal and Liverpool. With Leicester conceding an average of 6.12 shots on target per game, Iwobi has a strong opportunity to register at least 1 shot on target here.

💻 Leicester v Fulham Form and Tactics

Fulham, who average 52.5% possession as opposed to Leicester’s 46.1%, will surely dominate the ball and aim to break down Leicester, who will be much more reliant on counter-attacks in this clash.

Leicester and Fulham rank 16th and 11th in terms of the intensity of their press, so there is a possibility this could be a slightly slow-paced game, although defensive vulnerabilities should keep things interesting nonetheless.
