Cardiff City vs Leicester City top free betting tips
Leicester City were held in their previous match against second-placed Ipswich Town which in turn ended their run of five matches in which The Foxes won all five. The table-toppers travel to Cardiff City looking for yet another win which would be their 20th win in twenty-five matches, an incredible record. Cardiff City sits in midtable, just two points away from the playoff places but are not in the best form. Cardiff has won three of their previous ten matches, losing five times.
Total goals prediction: Over 2.5 Goals
All of Cardiff City's previous three matches have seen 2.5 goals or more scored with the Bluebirds scoring four times and conceding six times in those three matches. On the other hand, Leicester City's 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town ended a run of five matches in a row where the Foxes had seen 2.5 goals or more scored.
Both teams to score prediction: Yes
Despite having the best defence in the Championship, Leicester have conceded a fair few goals as of late with seven goals conceded in their previous seven matches. The way Enzo Maresca sets his teams up to play will always see his side concede chances and we can see Cardiff City making the most of any chance they earn. Leicester have scored in all but three matches in all competitions this season.
Correct score prediction: 3-1 to Leicester City
Leicester City have won nineteen league matches this season and have won eight of those nineteen by scoring three or more goals in their matches. Ten of Leicester's nineteen wins have seen The Foxes win but fail to keep a clean sheet and with Cardiff having home advantage, we can see Cardiff City scoring at least once. Leicester should dominate this match and will be desperate to go into the New Year on the back of a good win.
