Leicester Vs Tottenham Prediction: Three Panel Picks From Monday's Match
The opening round of Premier League games concludes on Monday night at the King Power Stadium where betting sites make Tottenham the 8/13 favourites to beat 9/2 outsiders Leicester.
The Foxes are back in the top flight after just one season in the Championship, but have a new man in charge in the shape of Steve Cooper, who replaced Enzo Maresca following his high-profile move to Chelsea.
Leicester are looking light in attack, with Patson Daka having undergone surgery on a serious ankle injury and Jamie Vardy still recovering from a pre-season problem, so it could be either Tom Cannon or Stephy Mavididi leading the line.
It’s also been an underwhelming summer transfer window for City, who brought in Bobby De Cordova-Reid and triggered their option to buy Sporting winger Abdul Fatawu.

Spurs, though, have been splashing the cash, bringing in Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke in a potential ￡65m deal, with Leeds midfielder Archie Gray and Burnley winger Wilson Odobert also among the high-profile signings.
Timo Werner is also back for another loan spell from RB Leipzig, so it could be an interesting season at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The Panel enjoyed some success over the weekend; the best being Manchester City to win both halves against Chelsea at 4/1.
And to wrap up the weekend, they have looked at the latest Premier League odds and picked out three Leicester vs Tottenham betting tips for tonight’s game.
Leicester Vs Tottenham Predictions:
- Tottenham To Win & Under 3.5 Match Goals - 15/8 With Bet365
- Goal To Be Scored Between 76-90 Minutes - 4/5 With BetGoodwin
- Jannik Vestergaard To Be Shown A Card - 7/2 With William Hill
Leicester Vs Tottenham Betting Tips: Side With Spurs
Leicester’s pre-season campaign started well enough with victories over Shrewsbury and Villarreal, but they lost their next three against Palermo, Augsburg and Lens without scoring.
Vardy and Daku combined for 25 Championship goals last season, so they will clearly be missed and their replacements are likely to struggle to get past tough defenders like Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven.
Spurs lost twice to Bayern Munich by one-goal margins to wrap up their pre-season fixtures and although Solanke has yet to play for his new club, he could be in line to make his debut in the possible absence of Richarlison with a calf injury.
The last five encounters between these teams have been goal-laden affairs, producing 33 in total at an incredible average of 6.6 per match.
Football betting sites have priced at least five goals for a sixth time in seven at 10/3 but The Panel suspect the count could be lower than that, especially with Leicester struggling in attack.
Instead, the first Leicester v Tottenham prediction is for the visitors to win and under 3.5 goals at 15/8 with Bet365.

Leicester Vs Tottenham Betting Tips: Late Show At King Power
Late goals proved to be a feature of the opening nine games of the Premier League, with six of them seeing the ball hit the back of the net after the 76th minute.
The Panel highlighted that market in Friday’s clash between Manchester United and Fulham, mentioning that new betting sites were offering 4/6 on a goal in the final quarter of an hour, but instead went for another winning tip on the second half being the highest scoring at 21/20.
With so many goals between these teams in the last few seasons, it’s understandable there has been at least one goal from the 76th minute onwards in the previous five matches.
Leicester may not trouble Guglielmo Vicario in the Spurs goal too often, but they are likely to be chasing the game in the final stages which should give Tottenham’s attack plenty of opportunities to add to their tally.
With that in mind, a goal to be scored between 76-90 minutes catches the eye at 4/5 with BetGoodwin as our second Leicester vs Tottenham prediction.

Leicester Vs Tottenham Odds: Cautionary Tale For Vestergaard
City are likely to be under the cosh against a team directed by Ange Postecoglou, who wants Spurs to attack with pace.
That means the Foxes’ defence and holding midfielders will be struggling to contain the likes of Solanke, if picked, Dejan Kulusevski and Son Heung-min, while right-back Pedro Porro loves getting forward too.
Punters looking for value in the yellow-card market can pretty much take their pick from Leicester’s defence, but centre-backs Jannick Vestergaard and Wout Faes stand out in particular at 7/2 and 23/5 with betting apps.

Vestergaard was booked 13 times in the Championship last season and against better opponents, he is likely to exceed that number in the Premier League.
Faes was actually cautioned the last time these teams met at the King Power in February 2023, but was only shown a yellow card on seven occasions in the Championship.
Vestergaard is an all-or-nothing kind of defender and against an attack that will be coming at him from all directions, 7/2 looks a good price for an opening-weekend booking, especially if you have some free bets.
