Leicester City vs Bournemouth prediction, odds and betting offer

The Foxes will be desperate to avoid the drop this season but are one of the favourites to return to the Championship ahead of their match with Bournemouth

Leicester City is still on the hunt for their inaugural victory since returning to the Premier League but they are optimistic about breaking this streak when AFC Bournemouth visits.

Under Steve Cooper's leadership, Leicester has managed to secure draws against teams like Spurs, Crystal Palace, and Everton within their first six matches. However, to avoid relegation fears, they need to convert these stalemates into wins and despite being tipped for a quick return to the Championship, Leicester faces a favourable fixture list, with upcoming matches against Southampton and Nottingham Forest presenting opportunities for crucial points.

A couple of wins could dramatically alter their season's trajectory, but overcoming Bournemouth will be no simple task. The Cherries, guided by Andoni Iraola, have been playing attractive football. Although Iraola faced scrutiny following a sluggish start last season, Bournemouth's decision to stick with him paid off with a commendable mid-table finish.

This season, Bournemouth has continued their positive form and their recent 3-1 triumph over Southampton has propelled them into 11th place in the standings, showcasing their potential under Iraola's stewardship.

As Leicester seeks to turn their fortunes around and Bournemouth aims to maintain their solid start, this match promises to be an engaging contest. Both sides are eager for victory, each with their own aspirations and challenges as the Premier League season unfolds.
