Free Norwich City vs Leicester City EPL Prediction:
So far, both Leicester City and Norwich City are generating scoring opportunites at a below-average rate. On the season, Leicester ranks 15th in attacking area possessions, with Norwich City sitting 20th. Although both squads are generating attacking zone possessions at a below-average rate, the Leicester City has been able to counter this with strong defensive play, giving up the 9th fewest attacking possessions, compared to Norwich City, which ranks 20th among MLS units.
At -249, there isn’t a lot of value in taking Leicester City, especially given that their defensive profiles aren’t too different. So far, Norwich is ranked 19th in overall goals allowed compared to Leicester City at 15th. In addition, Norwich City has the edge in save percentage, ranking 3rd compared to Leicester at 9th.
The biggest discrepancy between the teams comes on offense, where Leicester has been better at generating on target shots, ranking 2nd in the league. However, even with this advantage, I like Norwich +1.5
