Leicester vs. Liverpool: Match Prediction
The upcoming match is likely to be very high-scoring. Leicester no longer needs to focus on defense, aiming not to lose to the league leader. The club still has a theoretical chance to stay in the Premier League, but for that, they need to win all their remaining matches this season. Moreover, the team has already ended their goal drought in the Premier League, which should help them relax, and Leicester will try to score against their opponents again.
Liverpool alone can secure a "Total over 3" in this game. The team can clinch the championship title in this or the next round, so Arne Slot's side will be fully focused on this match. Moreover, even away from home, Liverpool has scored at least two goals in 11 of their last 12 Premier League matches. It's also worth noting that in seven of their last head-to-head encounters at King Power Stadium in the league, there have been three or more goals six times.
My prediction – Total over 3
