Leicester vs. Liverpool: Match Prediction
The upcoming match is likely to be very high-scoring. Leicester no longer needs to focus on defense, aiming not to lose to the league leaders. The club still has a theoretical chance to stay in the Premier League, but they need to win all remaining matches this season. Moreover, the team has already ended their goalless streak in the Premier League, which will help them play more freely, and Leicester will once again try to score against their opponents.
Liverpool alone can achieve a "Total over 3" in this game. The team can secure the championship title in this or the next round, so Arne Slot's side will be fully focused on this match. Furthermore, even away from home, Liverpool has scored at least two goals in 11 of their last 12 Premier League matches. Notably, in the last seven head-to-head encounters at King Power Stadium in the league, six times there have been three or more goals.
My prediction – Total over 3
