Free Leicester City vs Everton EPL Prediction:
So far, both the Everton and Leicester City are generating scoring opportunites at a below-average rate. On the season Everton ranks 13rd in attacking area possessions, with Leicester sitting 17th. Although neither team has excelled at generating possessions in the attacking zone, they both have benefited from strong defensive play. So far, Leicester ranks 9th in the fewest attacking possessions allowed, and Everton ranking 10th.
When looking at the shooting performances of each team, Leicester City holds the advantage, sitting near the top of the league in on target shot percentage, whereas Everton is ranked just 17th. Look for this to play a large role, as both teams are similar in shot attempts per contest.
Given that Everton also has a save percentage near the top of the league, look for Leicester City to struggle on offense. However, don’t expect Everton to have an easy time finding the net, as Leicester City is not far behind in goalie play.
Rather than picking a side, I recommend taking the under at 2.5 goals.
