Liverpool vs Leicester City Betting Pick #1: Home/Over 2.5
Lack of defensive stability has seen the Reds fail to keep a clean sheet in the last five games now. But, Liverpool have still managed to outscore their opponents on most of these occasions, winning the game and taking the goal count to over hai.5 goals on a majority of the fixtures played. Irrespective of whether they have kept a clean sheet against the Foxes or not, five of the last seven meetings between the two sides have seen over hai.5 goals being scored, which seems a certainty. We expect Liverpool lớn win against this underperforming Leicester side and see over 2.5 goals in totality too.
Pick #2: Liverpool to win both halves
A key metric is that Liverpool have been leading at half-time against 80% of their opponents this season, and then keeping the momentum to win all three points eventually. They have even opened the scoring against the same percentage of their Premier League counterparts too. So, we expect Liverpool to win the first half as well as the second half on Friday, by at least two or more goals margin. There are some soccer tips for winning in this forum
