Leicester City form

Earlier in the season, Leicester City was able to accumulate points and victories without displaying a high level of ruthlessness. However, since the international break, they have scored a total of 11 goals in four matches, winning against Southampton, Norwich City, Bristol City, and Blackburn Rovers. Enzo Maresca, the team's manager, also witnessed his team's impressive performance against Liverpool in the EFL Cup, where they won 4-1, before securing another victory against Blackburn Rovers on Sunday. Jamie Vardy, one of Leicester's prominent scorers, has scored three goals in the past four matches, helping the team maintain their position at the top of the table, two points ahead of Ipswich Town. While fans and critics may consider promotion to be inevitable, Maresca remains focused and aims to secure a ninth league win in ten matches against a potential rival.

Preston North End form

Preston has been a surprising team in the EFL this season, gaining 20 points from only eight games. However, their recent match against West Bromwich Albion resulted in a disappointing 4-0 defeat at Deepdale. Prior to this match, Preston had only conceded six goals, but they struggled to defend against West Brom's consistent attacks. Manager Ryan Lowe now needs to motivate his squad to prevent their early season progress from being undone. Preston also faces a tough match against second-placed Ipswich shortly after their game against the early frontrunners.

Leicester City vs Preston North End Expert Tips

Preston could not have chosen a worse opponent than West Brom, considering their recent four-goal loss. This result might prompt Lowe to adopt a more defensive approach. However, even with this adjustment, it is highly likely that Leicester will have no trouble securing a victory. Over 2.5 goals is expected with Leicester doing most of the scoring.
