Tottenham Hotspur vs Leicester City Prediction: 26/1//2025

The Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City is scheduled for Sunday, January 26, 2025, at 3:00 PM in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This is Matchday 23 of the competition and pits 15th-placed Tottenham against 19th-placed Leicester, with both teams needing desperately to win in order to escape from the lower reaches of the league standings. With both sides struggling, this encounter could prove pivotal in their fight for survival.

Match Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur vs Leicester City

The prediction for the match is Tottenham to win over home. However, given the current form and table standing of both Spurs and Leicester seem to have been in favor for Spurs. The exact case can also be seen in the given odds, as it highly predicts the win of Tottenham while the possibilities of the match to get drawn or to be won by Leicester are least.

The season has been quite far from the standard Tottenham Hotspur have set in recent years, sitting 15th after 21 matches. Having gathered 24 points from 7 wins, 3 draws, and 11 losses, Spurs have failed to find much consistency this season. They have scored a fair number of 43 goals but have let in 32, which reflects an excellent attacking impetus weakened by a fragile backline. In their home turf, they have managed 4 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses-a mixed record in their backyard.

Under new manager Angelos Postecoglou, Tottenham adopted an attacking, high-energy style. The team has flashed moments of offensive brilliance, but defensive lapses continue to give away crucial points. Their latest outing-a 3-2 loss to Everton-showcased the inability of Spurs to balance attack and defense, which has been one of the biggest issues this season. Spurs have won only 2 out of their last five matches in all competitions, adding to the frustration for their fans.

Leicester City

Relegation Woes The struggles of Leicester City are more highlighted, though. Lying 19th with just 14 points from 22 matches, the Foxes are staring at the threat of relegation. With records of 3 wins, 5 draws, and 14 losses, and with a goal difference of -25 (23 goals scored and 48 conceded), one would be brought to light with regards to a challenging campaign for the 2016 Premier League champions.

It’s gloomy for Leicester in away form: 1 win, 2 draws, and 7 losses in 10 matches. A 2-0 defeat against Fulham in their last match made the situation no brighter. Manager Ruud van Nistelrooy has not been able to find his formula yet as his team has won just once in the last five games, while losing four of them.

The Foxes have their problems at both ends of the pitch, as their inability to put away chances has been coupled with defensive fragility. That has left them in a precarious position, and it remains to be seen how Van Nistelrooy can lift his team out of the relegation zone.

Head-to-Head Record

The last match between the two teams, Tottenham and Leicester, ended in a 1-1 draw and that might imply a close contest. However, taking a look at their last five matches in all competitions, Tottenham have an edge over Leicester, with 3 wins to Leicester’s 1 and 1 draw.

Prediction

With the current form and head-to-head analysis, Tottenham should be expected to take a home win. The slight better recent performances and home advantage give them the edge, but both teams’ defensive issues do point toward goals at both ends. A bet on “Both Teams to Score” could be a smart choice for this match.
