Leicester will host Bournemouth on Sunday 21st for the last match of the season. Both teams have nothing to lose or win, as they’re in the middle of the table (10th and 11th respectively). For Leicester, after a shocking last season, one could argue this is not the place where they wanted to be: A good performance in the Champions League seems to compensate the irregular display on the Premier League, but those first months of bad performances marked the rest of the season and left them outside of the contest for an UCL or UEL spot. Bournemouth, on the other hand, continue to reaffirm their place in the Premier League with their highest league finish in the club’s history.
For the home team, Wes Morgan and Robert Huth, their main center backs, still won’t be available. The same is true of the midfielder Drinkwater. Bournemouth have their main line-up from the past matches fit and ready to play. Joshua King, who is having a tremendous season with 16 goals and will be a tough challenge for the Leicester alternative defense.
The odds are in favor of a Leicester win, but the draw at 3.70 (average) seems like a solid bet, since both teams have no need to win. This could also mean a high scoring match, since the pressure for a must-needed victory won’t be there. Also, Leicester are conceding a lot of goals, especially in their last few matches. Bournemouth, on the other side, have been a team with a lot of offensive power, being one of the most scoring teams, but also conceded a lot during the season. At 1.55 (average), the odds for a match with more than 2 goals seems like a real possibility!
