FW Predictions for Leicester vs Bournemouth
These are Football Whispers' Premier League predictions for Saturday's match between two teams sitting in the relegation zone, Leicester and Bournemouth. The Foxes and the Cherries both suffered disappointing home defeats in midweek but will look ahead to this weekend's clash as a great opportunity to get back to winning ways and hopefully, move out of the relegation places.
Contents
Both Teams to Score
Our first Leicester vs Bournemouth prediction is for both teams to score during the 90-minutes. We're expecting goals in this game mainly because both sides have poor defensive records. Five of the last six league meetings between Leicester and Bournemouth have ended with both teams getting on the scoreboard, while five of the hosts' and three of the visitors' last six outings in all competitions also featured goals for both sides.
Over 2.5 Goals
Our second Leicester vs Bournemouth prediction regards the total goals scored by both teams. Four of the last five meetings between these two clubs have ended with over 2.5 goals being produced, and we're predicting more of the same on Saturday. Leicester and Bournemouth have both seen four of their last six fixtures in league and cup end with at least three goals being scored.

Leicester vs Bournemouth Lineups
Leicester
Leicester began life without Brendan Rodgers on a sour note as they went down 2-1 in their own backyard to fellow Midlands' club Aston Villa. After going behind in the 24th-minute, the Foxes responded well and were level in the 35th-minute thanks to a goal from Barnes. The second forty-five proved to be tight and tense and just when it looked like Leicester had done enough to earn a point, Villa scored a winning goal 3-minutes from time. Justin, Tielemans, Vestergaard, Bertrand and Evans are all injury concerns ahead of Saturday's big match against Bournemouth.
Predicted Lineup – Iversen (GK), Castagne, Faes, Souttar, Kristiansen, Mendy, Ndidi, Maddison, Soumaré, Barnes & Vardy
Bournemouth
Despite having the home advantage, the Cherries couldn't stop high-flying Brighton from securing all 3pts in midweek. Goals from Ferguson in the first half and Enciso in second-half stoppage-time secured the Seagulls a 2-0 victory. Ryan Fredericks and Junior Stanislas are expected to miss the trip to Brighton through injury.
Predicted Lineup – Neto (GK), Smith, Stephens, Senesi, Kelly, Lerma, Christie, Billing, Traorè, Solanke & Ouattara

Player to Watch: Harvey Barnes
Leicester's 25-year-old midfielder is enjoying his most impressive campaign in front of goal despite the club's overall poor performance.
Barnes top scores in the Premier League for the Foxes this season with 10-goals and the England international has netted three of those goals in his last eight appearances in the league, so if anyone is going to make an impact on this game for the hosts then you would bank on it being Harvey Barnes.
This game has the potential to be very end-to-end and we're expecting the attacks to come out on top. While the likes of Vardy, Inheanacho and Daka have been struggling for goals, Barnes has been thriving and is probably the biggest goal threat in this underperforming Leicester side.
