Arsenal vs Leicester City Prediction and Betting tips | 13th March 2022

By Adam D Anglo On Mar 13, 2022

Arsenal lock horns with Leicester City at the Emirates Stadium in their upcoming Premier League fixture on Sunday.

The hosts have made it four wins in a row and their challenge for a fourth-place finish is growing stronger after every weekend. They recorded a convincing 3-2 win at Watford in their previous outing, the fourth game in a row in which they secured a win by a one-goal margin.

The Foxes have shrugged off a run of five winless games in the Premier League and secured a 1-0 win over Leeds United last week. They emerged victorious at home in the Europa Conference League on Thursday and will be looking to extend their winning run to five games across all competitions.

Leicester are without a win in the last two encounters against the Gunners but their last win against them came at the Emirates Stadium last season.
No team have scored more goals from counter-attacks in the Premier League than Arsenal this season (6).
Arsenal have grabbed 25 points in their last 10 league games, a record matched by only Manchester City in the English top-flight.

Arsenal vs Leicester City Prediction

The home side have been one of the most in-form sides in the Premier League in 2022. Though their last four wins have been by just a one-goal margin, it is not something that will concern Mikel Arteta.

They have just two losses at home this season, one against Chelsea in their first home fixture of the campaign and the other against Manchester City in January.

Leicester’s win at Burnley earlier this month was their first victory in their travels since October. Though they have found some form with four wins in a row, with two coming in their away games, Arsenal are expected to outshine them here.

Prediction: Arsenal 2-1 Leicester City
