Leicester vs Burnley Free Soccer Tips
Leicester can harbor serious regrets last year. Almost all the time in the Big 4, the Foxes have badly negotiated the home stretch (2 wins in the last 9 days) to finally clinch 5th place in the Premier League, qualifying for the European League and not the League of Champions. Last weekend, Jamie Vardy’s partners launched this new exercise perfectly by winning with great authority at the promoted West Bromwich (0-3).
Burnley lived up to expectations last season and finished an honorable 10th place in the Premier League with a comfortable 20 point lead out of the relegation zone. Unlike its opponent of the day, the team managed its end of the championship well to grab a few places in the standings. Burnley did not play his match last weekend and thus begins his championship this Sunday. In the middle of the week, the Clarets had difficulty validating, at home, their ticket for the round of 16 of the Carabao Cup by defeating Sheffield United (1-1, qualification following a penalty shootout).
Staff for Leicester vs Burnley
For Leicester, the defensive sector is lessened by the defections of the holders Evans and Ricardo Pereira (ex Nice), of the experienced Morgan and of the substitute Benkovic. During the offseason, the Foxes lost the important left side Chilwell (Chelsea) but recovered the Belgian side Castagne (ex Atalanta) who scored for his first game in his new colors last weekend. Top scorer in the Premier League last year, Jamie Vardy started off on a good footing as he found the net twice (from a penalty spot each time) during Matchday 1. He is expected to be supported by wingers Barnes and Ayoze Perez while England international Maddison, replacing last weekend, could regain a starting place alongside Belgian Tielemans.
During the offseason, Burnley saw the departure, free of any contract, the experienced Joe Hart (Tottenham) and Aaron Lennon (Kayserispor) and the important Irish midfielder Jeff Hendrick (Newcastle) but was not active in the direction of the arrivals so far. The club’s top scorer last year, Christian Wood (14 goals) should again play a major role this season. This is also the case for goalkeeper Pope, defenders Tarkowski, and Mee, midfielders Westwood and Cork, winger McNeil and striker Jay Rodriguez (8 goals).
