On Saturday afternoon, Leicester host struggling Crystal Palace at the King Power Stadium in the Premier League.

Leicester have hit form of late winning their last four Premier League games. The Foxes recent good form sees Claude Puel’s team ninth in the table, four points behind seventh-place Arsenal.

Last time out, the side from the Midlands recorded a 4-1 win at Southampton. The win means that the home side have now scored two or more goals in three of their last four outings in the top-flight.

Leicester have not been great at the back in recent Premier League games, though, as they have now kept just two clean sheets in their last ten top-flight outings.

The Foxes recent home record is decent in the Premier League, as they have won three out of their last four top-flight games. Their recent home games in the Premier League have been low scoring, though, as there have been under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five top-flight games at the King Power.

Palace heads into this game unbeaten in six Premier League games. However, the Eagles are in the relegation zone on goal difference, mainly due to their habit of drawing, as the visitors have drawn four of their last six league games.

Roy Hodgson’s side may have drawn their last two Premier League away games, but they have failed to win in their last ten top-flight games on their travels dating back to last season.

To make matters worse, the visitors have also failed to score in all ten of those winless away games. Palace’s struggle for goals on their travels has contributed to there being under 2.5 goals scored in six of their last eight away games in the league.

Forebet predicts that Leicester’s winning run will continue in this clash and Palace’s away goal drought will extend to 11 games.
