Liverpool vs Leicester Bet Builder Tips
Macca’s bet builder tips for the match includes a fast start for the free-scoring hosts. At the time of writing, it was available for 9/2 on bet365. Compare prices below and back it directly through oddschecker!
Vardy Over 0.5 Fouls
This selection has landed in four of the last five games. Vardy committed four fouls against Wolves last time out and could well find himself deeper against Liverpool which will increase the likelihood of fouls.
Diaz Over 0.5 Fouls
Diaz is right at the top for fouls in this Liverpool team. He has committed a two fouls in all of his last nine starts. We only need one foul which has won in 18/19 of his premier league starts.
With an accumulation of a few cards recently and consistent numbers, the Colombian looks a good shout for our bet builder, especially as we’re not asking for a high line.
Liverpool to Win the First Half
Liverpool's explosive starts at Anfield, combined with their opponents' recent defensive collapses make a first half win for the Reds a highly probable outcome. Leicester have struggled to contain early pressure, conceding multiple goals in opening periods lately.
Expect Liverpool to dominate from the outset, driven by their potent attack and desire to solidify their place atop the league with their home crowd behind them too.
Under 4.5 Cards
Despite the potential for a high scoring affair, expect a relatively clean contest with under five cards. Liverpool's dominant possession style often leads to fewer tackles and their disciplined approach reduces the need for cynical fouls.
While Leicester may be under pressure their overall disciplinary record isn't particularly high and they might struggle to get close to Liverpool.
Given the anticipated flow of the game with Liverpool likely controlling the tempo, I’m happy to back under 4.5 cards – a bet that has won in all of their last 10 encounters.
