Correct Score Prediction

Leicester 2 - 1 Northampton

We’ve found an attractive bet at odds of +575 and it involves Leicester winning 2-1. We like a wager on correct score as there’s the chance to bank a bigger return.

Corners Prediction

Under 10.5 Corners +102

The past zero home games involving Leicester have had an average of 0 corners. The corners tally could be lower than the line implies and that leads us to a wager at a price of +102.
