Football betting tips online for Leicester – Watford

FA Cup holders Leicester City hosts Watford at the King Power Stadium in a match from the third round of the competition. Here we go with our football betting tips online for this game.

 

Leicester City triumphed with the FA Cup last season when they won against Champions League winners Chelsea at the final. It’s important now for Brendan Rodgers and his players to do as good as possible and eventually reach the final stages of the tournament. They are favorites against Watford, but they are facing another Premier League club and they can’t take this opponent lightly.

 

The Foxes are not in their best shape at the moment. Leicester are 10th in the Premier League standings and that’s disappointing for the fans. The former champions made a great step in the right direction in their last game when they won against Liverpool at home. The substitution Ademola Lookman scored the winning goal against the Reds. The 24-years old striker used an assist from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and put the ball in the net in the second half.

 

Many players are missing right now in Leicester’s squad because of injuries and COVID-19. Players like Soyuncu, Vardy, Maddison, Barnes, Evans, Pereira and Daka are not available. Some of them might return in the next game, though.

 

Watford are a team which struggles right now. The arrival of Leicester City’s former manager Claudio Ranieri didn’t inspire the team in the way everybody expected. The Hornets are in a run of six consecutive defeats in all competitions before this visit to the King Power. It’s not really clear if Ranieri is going to finish the season at the job or not.

 

That’s the football betting tips online for the FA Cup clash between Leicester City and Watford at the King Power Stadium. Can the trophy holders avoid any surprises here? Let’s see.
