Before we finalize our Leicester City vs Spurs predictions or any predictions for the 2024-25 English Premier League, we need to hear from proven football expert Martin Green.
After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports reporter and handicapper, covering sports all over the world. Last year, Green made profits in multiple areas with his soccer picks, including the Champions League (+3.05 units), FA Cup (+3.07), EFL Cup (+4.47) and Euro 2024 Qualifiers (+6.30). He also had a solid record with Premier League picks last year, winning 30, losing 22 and drawing 1 (+7.07).
Green knows Spurs won four consecutive games against Leicester City, outscoring the Foxes 16-7 before losing away to them in February 2023. South Korean forward Son Heung-min, who led Tottenham with 17 goals last season, has nine goals and four assists in 14 meetings with Leicester. In Spurs' last two wins over the Foxes, the 32-year-old Son Heung-min scored two goals and a hat-trick, while Uruguayan midfielder Rodrigo Betancur has scored goals in both Premier League meetings between the clubs in the 2022-23 season.
Experts also take into account that Leicester City will be eager to make a good first impression on their return to the Premier League, with new manager Steve Cooper hoping to do the same. The 44-year-old Welshman replaces Enzo Maresca, who took up the same position at Chelsea after managing Nottingham Forest from 2021 to 2023. Striker Jamie Vardy led the Foxes with 18 goals last season but is sidelined with an undisclosed injury, leaving winger Steffi Mavididi (12 goals) as the club's biggest attacking threat.
