Leicester vs Norwich – Prediction (Premier League – 14.12.2019)

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Leicester City are on a run of eight straight Premier League (PL) victories, thanks much to their blistering attack, which has netted an average of 3.13 goals per game. Meanwhile, at the other end of the pitch, the ‘Foxes’ have kept an impressive five cleansheets across those aforementioned fixtures. Even more impressively, Leicester have conceded just ten goals all season, representing the lowest total in the division’s GA column, and their goal has been breached more than once in just one PL fixture all season. When they do concede though, it tends to be a first-half business, with 80% of their goals conceded coming before half-time.

Second-bottom Norwich City travel having lost 11 of their 16 PL matches (W3, D2, L11). They conceded 2+ goals in all but three of those matches, ultimately contributing to a second-worst league total of 34 goals conceded. The ‘Canaries’ have also lost four of the previous six H2H matches (W2, L4), conceding 2+ goals in five of those matches. This potentially lends further light to the fact that Norwich have conceded the opening goal in ten of their 16 PL matches played so far this term.

Players to watch: Jamie Vardy is chasing down his own PL scoring record having netted in eight consecutive matches. Each of the previous seven games saw at least one goal in the second half. Norwich forward Teemu Pukki is again in decent form, having netted five goals across his previous six matches for both club and country.

Stat attack: Leicester City have scored 51.28% of their PL goals after the 60th minute. Nearly half (47.06%) of Norwich’s PL goals conceded have come in the opening 30 minutes of play. There have been 3+ match goals in eight of the previous ten H2H meetings.
