Burnley vs Leicester City: Rodgers' team will have a tough match

Burnley will play host to Leicester City in a rescheduled match on matchday 22 of the English Championship. At this stage of the season, the home side looks preferable. Will the Foxes break their poor away streak?

After two straight dry victories over Brighton (3:0) and Tottenham (1:0), Burnley travelled to Crystal Palace. As expected, this game was not easy for Sean Dyche's team, but they managed to earn one point in London. In this meeting, the teams scored one goal each. With 21 points, Burnley is 18th in the English league table.

Leicester City's last opponents in the English league were Wolverhampton. Brendan Rodgers' side failed to perform well at Molineux and suffered a 1:2 defeat. This was their fourth successive away defeat in the English league. With 27 points, Leicester City is only 13th on the EPL table.

A few weeks ago, Burnley was considered one of the leading contenders for relegation, while Leicester City was considered a European candidate. What do we have now? The difference between the clubs is only six points. In the case of a positive result, Burnley will leave the relegation zone altogether, and it's impossible not to note the progress of Sean Dyche's team. We expect very active football at Turf Moor, as Burnley has been interesting to watch recently. The club's newcomer Weghorst is showing himself well. He will make the unstable Foxes defence nervous. We suggest betting based on the total over. We don't exclude that there will also be a lot of yellow cards.
