Leicester v Watford betting tips: Hornets buzzing as Ranieri returns

The Foxes have only managed one clean sheet themselves so backing goals could be the way to go here, with over 2.5 priced at 8/13 and over 3.5 at 6/4.

Leicester v Watford head-to-head

Meetings between these two teams are best remembered for the drama of the 2013 Championship play-off semi-final and it is a match-up which the home team usually dominate.

The last meeting in June 2020 ended 1-1 at Vicarage Road and ended a run of seven successive home wins between these two, with Leicester 4/6 to continue that trend this weekend.

Leicester have won 2-0 in the last three meetings at the King Power Stadium and are 8/1 to do so again on Sunday.

Leicester v Watford key battles

Leicester may need to win their fans over if they are to make this a tough place for visiting teams to go again.

Some supporters booed the team at both half-time and full-time against Chelsea, with manager Brendan Rodgers describing their reaction as “very disappointing”.

Jamie Vardy is often the team’s saviour and he has opened the scoring from the penalty spot in Leicester’s last three home games against Watford.

The striker is 12/5 to break the deadlock while 10/11 for Vardy to be offside at least once and have one or more shots on target looks a good option for Leicester v Watford betting tips.

James Maddison has followed up with the second goal in the last two meetings here and is 2/1 in the anytime goalscorer odds, while Sarr is Watford’s top scorer with five goals and is 11/4 to add to his tally.
