James Buttler previews the clash between Leicester City and Brentford in the Premier League and finds a 7/2 betting tip.
Realistically we’re down to four contenders for the three relegation spots in this season’s Premier League and Leicester City are in that mix. The Foxes have lost nine of their last 10 in the league and are two points shy of survival. They cannot rely on the other three continuing to lose, although Southampton are probably gone, so a win against Brentford on Friday evening would see them out of the drop zone and potentially build the bid for safety Ruud van Nistelrooy and the rest crave.
The problem is that Leicester’s goals have dried up at the King Power Stadium, they’ve not scored there since December, so Brentford to win are surely the bet. But Leicester have only lost once in 13 games against the Bees, winning nine, so it is probably now or never.
Having said all of that, I’m on a Brentford side that beat West Ham last time out on their travels to make it three away wins in a row. And they’ve kept a clean sheet in three of their last four away from home.
So, it’s difficult to rate Leicester City’s chances of breaking their King power drought and the quick tip is Brentford to win ‘to nil’ at 7/2 with Betfair.
Also, bear in mind that Leicester have been behind at half-time in seven home league games this season, so Brentford to be ahead at half-time and full-time at 23/10 with StarSports might be worth a play too.
