Leicester vs Brighton Prediction: Will the Foxes lose for the fifth time in a row?

Leicester and Brighton will meet at the King Power Stadium on Saturday, January 21. Are the Seagulls currently the favorites in the encounter? Will Roberto De Dzerby's charges justify their status?

In 2023, the Foxes lost to Fulham (0:1) and Nottingham (0:2) and also dropped out of the League Cup, losing away to Newcastle (0:2). Despite such a series of failures, Leicester is still out of the relegation zone, sitting in 15th place. The gap from the relegation zone is two points. That means Brendan Rodgers' charges may find themselves at the bottom of the standings as early as this weekend.

Lately, Brighton has been going according to the schedule of a top club - three wins in the last four league games. They beat Southampton 3:1 on the road, Everton 4:1 at Goodison, and Liverpool 3:0 at home. And meanwhile, they beat one of the Championships leaders, Middlesbrough, in the FA Cup (5:1).

And the defeat by Arsenal with a score of 2:4 can be called decent. The Seagulls, not Liverpool and Chelsea, are in contention for the European Cup. They are currently seventh in the standings, one point behind top-flight side Fulham. They are eight points behind the top-four sides with a game in hand.

Currently, these teams are in polar opposite states in terms of statistics and quality of play. Even Leandro Trossard, the Seagulls have not slumped. And Leicester has an overcrowded infirmary. While Brendan Rodgers still can't rely on Justin, Evans, Bertrand, and Pereira, James Maddison and Ayose Perez could be on the field. However, this is highly questionable. Therefore, Brighton should have no problems on the road and score quite a few goals.
