Our prediction for the match Leicester vs Tottenham Hotspur
“The Foxes” lost the so-called “residence” in the Premier League a year ago. Still, the bet on Enzo Maresca worked: the specialist, albeit not without certain problems, directly returned the team to the top division of the country. Only after that, the Italian mentor was lured away by Chelsea. As for the previous season, “the Spurs” fought to the very end to return to the Champions League, but they lost the battle for 4th place to the sensation of the Premier League, Aston Villa.
As a result, the newcomer to the division was trained by Steve Cooper, who is remembered for the promotion and retention of Nottingham Forest in the Premier League. Moreover, the promising footballer, Okoli, also appeared at the King Power. “The Hotspurs” were slow to get going and limited themselves to sales and farewells to footballers (Reguilon, Hojbjerg, Emerson, Sessegnon), but they “closed” the purchase of a new centre forward, Solanke, a week before the start of the season.
Obviously, the initiative will be with the guests from the capital. This fact, by the way, could be a problem for the hosts, as they have rarely played as “second fiddle” in the Championship.
Leicester vs Tottenham Hotspur: possible starting line-ups
