Prediction: 4-1
Leicester
Brighton will look to make amends for back-to-back losses to Aston Villa and Crystal Palace when they welcome Leicester City to their Amex Stadium on Saturday. The Seagulls have suffered a dip in form, failing to lose the previous four games in all competitions. However, they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. Centre-back Jan Paul van Hecke is banned for the match, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Foxes, on the other hand, are stuck in the relegation zone with only 17 points on their account. Unlike Southampton, Leicester still have some survival chances, but given their nine-game losing run in all competitions, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. In their last meeting at Amex Stadium, Brighton rolled over Leicester 5-2, which definitely supports our betting prediction. Facundo Buonanotte and Abdul Fatawu should be the only absentees in the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Jamie Vardy):
Spending his early career playing no-league football, Jamie Vardy made the headlines when he joined Leicester City in a £1 million deal in 2012, but little did he know that he would go on to become a genuine Premier League star just three years later.
The experienced forward helped the Foxes gain promotion to the elite division and then score more than 20 goals as they mounted an unlikely title bid, earning worldwide acclaim as well as a place in the England squad. Vardy went on to score his first two goals for the Three Lions in March 2016 friendlies, with his back-heel goal against Germany in Berlin seeing him instantly become a fans’ favourite.
Over the years, Vardy has earned a reputation as a striker who never gives up and can be a real menace for opposition defenders, but his excellent goalscoring record and good link-up play are enough to suggest he can be described as a mix of old-style pacey forwards and modern strikers.
Highlighted Team (Brighton):
Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club were formed in 1901. The Seagulls welcome their opponents at Falmer Stadium and the capacity of Brighton’s home ground is 30,750. The stadium was built in 2008 and it was opened in 2011. The venue is known for commercial purposes as American Express Community Stadium.
Brighton & Hove Albion compete in the Premier League and they play in blue and white stripes. The colour of Brighton’s away kit is green. The club made it to the FA Cup final in 1983, but English giants Manchester United proved to be a big catch for the Red Devils.
Brighton’s main rivals are Crystal Palace and the Seagulls have recorded 35 wins over the Eagles. Frank Stapleton, Martin Chivers, Joe Corrigan, Bobby Zamora, Mark Lawrenson, Bobby Smith, John Crumplin and Frank Worthington are notable footballers who played for Brighton in the past. The Albion is Preston’s yet another nickname.
