Both Teams to Score? Yes
The second betting prediction centers on whether both teams will score in this encounter. With Leicester City’s defensive frailties evident this season, the odds of 1.95 from 1Win for “Yes,” indicating that both teams will find the back of the net, is enticing. Chelsea’s attacking dynamics, comprising thirteen wins this campaign, suggest they will likely breach Leicester’s defense, while the visitors may also capitalize on any lapses from Chelsea to score.
