Leicester vs Everton Prediction: Expect a Draw?

Prediction for the EPL match between Leicester and Everton, which will take place on May 1. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Leicester is having their worst season in years, risking relegation from the English top flight. Enough to say that the Foxes scored only one point in the first seven rounds, which immediately made their lives very difficult. Gradually they began to climb out of such a difficult situation, but so far their situation cannot be called comfortable. By the end of March the club's management had given up on Brendan Rodgers, sending him out, and Dean Smith was entrusted to fight for survival. The Blues have played their last two games under him, beating Wolverhampton 2:1 and drawing 1:1 with Leeds, but they only managed to finish 18th in the table.

Similar words can be said about Everton. The Toffees had a bit of a fight for survival last season, but they came out the winner; now they're even worse. The club's management decided to fire Frank Lampard long ago, and Sean Dyche was appointed. The new boss sensationally beat Arsenal 1:0 in his first game, but it is still his main success. Liverpool sits unbeaten in six games, with only three draws and three defeats in this stretch. They are sitting in 19th place in the table, two points behind 17th place.

Leicester and Everton are five points behind the season's finish in the relegation zone, but the gap to 17th place is minimal. Therefore, the winner of their encounter will leave the zone immediately, while for the loser, the situation will become even worse. For this reason, there will not be a moment in this match when the scoreline suits both teams, as it is too important to take the three points. As a result, we suggest betting on a total over 2.5 goals, and Both teams to Score - Yes.

We have already noted that it is essential for Leicester and Everton to get exactly three points in the upcoming match, but there is no clear favorite in this pairing. It would seem that the Foxes will be playing at home, which should be an advantage for them, but at King Power, they have lost five of their last six home games, beating only Wolverhampton, who lost to Brighton the previous day, 0:6. The Toffees won their last away game on October 1, so they too are unlikely to break their sad streak. With that in mind, a draw would be ideal.
