The Premier League is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Leicester City take on Andoni Iraola's Bournemouth side in an important encounter at the King Power Stadium on Saturday. Both teams can pack a punch on their day and will want to win this game.
Leicester City vs Bournemouth Preview
Bournemouth are in 11th place in the Premier League standings and have been inconsistent this season. The away side eased past Southampton by a 3-1 scoreline last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Leicester City, on the other hand, are in 17th place in the league table and have been in poor form this season. The Foxes slumped to a 4-2 defeat at the hands of Arsenal in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
Leicester City vs Bournemouth Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Leicester City have a slight edge over Bournemouth and have won nine out of the 22 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Bournemouth's eight victories.
- Leicester City have won only two of their 12 matches against Bournemouth in the Premier League, with both these victories coming at home in 2019.
- Bournemouth have won each of their last three matches against Leicester City in the Premier League - their joint-longest such run against the Foxes in the history of the competition.
- Leicester City are winless in their six matches in the Premier League so far this season - they have endured a worse start to a top-flight season on only one previous occasion.
- Bournemouth have won only three of their last 13 matches away from home in the Premier League, with all three victories coming against teams in the relegation zone.
Leicester City vs Bournemouth Prediction
Bournemouth have shown flashes of improvement under Andoni Iraola but will need to work hard to move into the top half of the league table. Evanilson and Antoine Semenyo found the back of the net last week and will look to repeat the feat in this game.
Leicester City are yet to hit their stride this season and cannot afford another poor result this weekend. Bournemouth are the better team, however, and should be able to win this game.
