Bournemouth vs Leicester City prediction 27.02.2024

• Competition: FA Cup
• Date: 27th February 2024
• Kickoff: 19:30 UTC / 20:30 CET
• Venue: Vitality Stadium

We are set for an intriguing match-up on Tuesday night as Bournemouth and Leicester City prepare to face off in the FA Cup, marking their first encounter in the competition’s history.

Bournemouth has the potential to make it to the FA Cup quarter-finals for the third time in their history, having successfully made it this far in 1957 and 2021. Unfortunately, their recent performances have been less than stellar. The team, led by Andoni Iraola, has gone five consecutive games without a victory, suffering two losses and ending five games in a draw.

A few weeks ago, Leicester City seemed poised to secure the Championship title, but they’ve recently experienced a significant setback. After losing their last two games with a total score of 2:5, their lead in the standings has dwindled to a mere six points. Their track record against Bournemouth isn’t promising either, as they’ve lost each of their last three encounters. Thus, they could face another defeat on Tuesday.

Bournemouth vs Leicester City Betting Tips: Both teams to score

Bournemouth enters this game as favourites due to their strong home performance and their previous record against their opponents. However, there is room for improvement in their defense. The Cherries have managed to keep a clean sheet only once in their past nine games across all competitions, letting in nearly two goals per game on average.

This season, Leicester City has effortlessly found the back of the net. In the Championship, no other team, including Enzo Maresca’s side, has outscored them. Moreover, the Foxes have maintained a twenty-game scoring streak. In their recent three FA Cup matches, both teams managed to score in two of them.
