Premier League: Brighton vs. Leicester Picks — More Misery for Goal-Shy Foxes? (Apr 12)

Brighton will be looking to get their European challenge back on track this weekend when they welcome Leicester to the Amex Stadium.

The Seagulls have suffered defeats in each of their last two matches in the Premier League, while they have failed to win in their last four across all competitions.

However, Leicester come into this round with bigger issues on their plate. The Foxes are staring down the barrel of relegation. A sign of their issues is the fact that they have gone 720 minutes and seven home matches since their last effort in a 2-2 draw against Brighton in December.

Odds

Leicester Winless in Five Against Seagulls

Leicester have failed to win in their last five against Brighton in the Premier League. The last win for the Foxes in this fixture was recorded away from home in March 2021.

Since then, Leicester have lost two of the last five meetings. However, three of the last four have ended in draws, which includes a 2-2 tie in the reverse fixture this season.

Brighton vs. Leicester Key Stats
