Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 Leicester

Current streaks

Recent form

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur have been experiencing a rather turbulent period of form, as evidenced by their recent results and 15th position in the league table. The Spurs have lost three of their last four Premier League matches, including defeats to Everton and Arsenal, which has seen them slip further down the table. Despite this poor league form, they have shown some promise in cup competitions, securing victories against Tamworth in the FA Cup and Liverpool in the League Cup. Their defensive record has been a concern, conceding in five of their last six matches across all competitions. However, their attacking output remains relatively consistent, scoring in every match during this period. The high-scoring affair against Everton (3-2) and the draw with Wolves (2-2) highlight Tottenham's involvement in entertaining matches, with 83% of their recent games featuring over 2.5 goals. This suggests that while Spurs are struggling for consistency, they are providing plenty of excitement for neutrals.

Leicester

Leicester City's recent form paints a concerning picture for the Foxes, who find themselves languishing in 19th position in the Premier League. The club are currently enduring a worrying run of four consecutive league defeats, having failed to score in their last two matches. Their sole victory in the past six games came in a high-scoring FA Cup encounter against Queens Park Rangers, where they netted an impressive six goals. However, this attacking prowess has not translated to their league performances, with Leicester failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 17 games across all competitions. The team's defensive frailties are evident, conceding an average of 2.17 goals per game in their last six matches, while only managing to score 1.33 goals per game themselves. With both teams scoring in half of these fixtures and an even split between games going over and under 2.5 goals, Leicester's matches have been relatively unpredictable, averaging a total of 3.5 goals per game.

Recent home/away form

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur's recent home form has been a rollercoaster, with inconsistency being the hallmark of their performances. The Spurs have struggled to string together consecutive wins, alternating between victories, draws, and losses in their last six home matches. Notably, their home games have been high-scoring affairs, with an impressive average of 5.17 total goals per match and 83% of games seeing over 2.5 goals. The standout fixture was undoubtedly the 3-6 drubbing by Liverpool, showcasing both Tottenham's attacking prowess and defensive frailties. Despite their attacking output, averaging 2.33 goals scored per game, their defence has been leaky, conceding 2.83 goals per match. This defensive vulnerability has contributed to their current 15th position in the league, with only one clean sheet in the analysed period.

Leicester

Leicester City's away form has been abysmal, with the Foxes enduring a dire run of five consecutive defeats on the road. Their last point away from home came in a 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town, but since then, they have conceded a staggering 16 goals whilst only managing to score three in reply. Particularly concerning are the heavy defeats suffered, with Newcastle United and Brentford both putting four past Leicester, whilst Manchester United kept a clean sheet in a 3-0 victory. The team's defensive frailties are evident, having failed to keep a single clean sheet in their last six away matches and conceding an average of 2.83 goals per game. High-scoring affairs have been common, with 83% of these matches seeing over 2.5 goals. This poor away form has contributed significantly to Leicester's precarious 19th position in the league, leaving them deep in the relegation battle.
