Jones Knows prediction: No respite for Pep
Sky Sports’ betting expert Lewis Jones:
How bad must Leicester be if Manchester City are going off 1/3 with Sky Bet for the win despite winning just once in their last 13 games?
Also, since the start of November, Guardiola’s men have conceded 26 goals in all competitions – in that time, the only side from Europe’s big-five leagues to concede more is FC Heidenheim 1846 (28).
It is astonishing.
But punters nonetheless are completely satisfied to again them to win soccer matches at heavy odds-on it appears.
I can depart them alone even when Leicester have confronted probably the most pictures, pictures heading in the right direction and conceded probably the most targets since December 3, which was Ruud van Nistelrooy’s first sport in cost.
He is made little influence – the truth is, they is likely to be changing into simpler to attain towards.
From a betting standpoint, although, you simply must hold betting towards this Metropolis defence conserving a clear sheet and Leicester have scored in all however one in all their 10 house matches this season. Each groups to attain and over 2.5 targets ought to land at 4/5 with Sky Wager.
