Leicester travel to Elland Road to face Leeds in the 33rd round of the EPL. How will the encounter between the outsiders end?
Leeds
Leeds are having a tough season. The team's fate will probably not be decided until the final rounds - they are very close to the relegation zone, as they are in 16th place in the standings with 29 points. Everton is 18th and 19th, respectively, with Nottingham Forest one and two points behind. The prospects are not bright, so it is time for Javi Gracia, who took charge of the club in February and is not yet living up to expectations, to step up. In five April games, Leeds has just one win in four defeats. After a disappointing 1:5 loss to Crystal Palace and a 1:6 defeat to Liverpool, the team lost 1:2 to Fulham.
Leicester
Leicester, like Leeds, has been quiet this campaign. The Foxes are also very active in their fight for survival, sitting 17th in the EPL table with 28 points. Accordingly, if the Blues continue similarly, they will face the Championship. Leicester has drawn only once in ten games in two months but lost nine. Of course, such results finally caused the club's management to say goodbye to Brendan Rodgers on 2 April, and Dean Smith took his place on the 11th. Under him, Leicester lost 1:3 to Manchester City before securing a 2:1 victory against Wolverhampton in the last round.

Expert Betting Tips
In the upcoming battle, we suggest you stay away from the outcome. It's for six points - the winner will break away from the relegation zone for a while and be able to exhale a little, but the loser will bury himself even deeper. Logically, the opponents will only play to win. Considering that they are almost the highest scorers in the EPL and their recent encounters have been goal-rich, we suggest playing for an ordinary total over (2.5) here. Leeds and Leicester look good in attack but have trouble with the defense. Another bet worth considering is the exchange of goals + total over.
