Betting Tips: Leicester vs Crystal Palace

With both teams looking productive up front but weak at the back, Al Hain-Cole expects goals at each end when the Foxes take on Hodgson's men

Leicester City will be desperate for victory when they welcome Crystal Palace to the King Power Stadium for Saturday's Premier League clash.

The Foxes have gone six matches without a win in all competitions, picking up just one point from the last available 15 in the league.

Having lost each of the last three encounters with this opposition, they are priced at 6/5 (2.20) with William Hill to return to winning ways here.

In contrast, Roy Hodgson's men are currently enjoying their longest unbeaten streak of the campaign, and can be backed at 12/5 (3.40) to extend it to six games in a row by coming out on top in this one.

Just one of the last nine meetings between this pair has resulted in a draw, but there are odds of 23/10 (3.30) available on them cancelling each other out on this occasion.

Marc Albrighton and Daniel Amartey are both ruled out through injury, while Nampalys Mendy is still doubtful.

Julian Speroni and Pape Souare remain sidelined, although Cheikhou Kouyate has returned to full training and Wilfried Zaha is available once again after missing the FA Cup win over Doncaster Rovers due to suspension.

While they have kept a clean sheet against Chelsea, as well as restricting Liverpool and both Manchester clubs to a single goal each over the last couple of months, Claude Puel's side have struggled to demonstrate that robustness against less star-studded opposition.

With just one clean sheet to their name in the last 14 matches in all competitions, the home side will surely struggle to keep at bay an Eagles attack they have conceded nine goals against in the last three encounters.

However, although Palace are in prolific form with 14 goals in their previous seven away games, they have also kept only two clean sheets in 10 league matches on the road - conceding 20 times in total.

With this in mind, odds of 17/20 (1.85) are well worth backing on both teams finding the net for Leicester's sixth match in seven, and sixth in seven away league games for their guests.
