Both Teams To Score \u2013 Yes<\/strong><\/td>\n8\/11 @ Bet365<\/a>
(57.9%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe are backing both teams to find the net. Leicester and Bristol City have each scored 48 goals this season, both average over 1.3 goals per game, and three of their last meetings have seen goals for both sides. Bristol are more direct and create more big chances, but Leicester\u2019s midfield goal threat means they rarely draw a blank at home.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Bristol City Draw No Bet<\/strong><\/td>\n11\/8 @ Bet365<\/a>
(42.1%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThere could be value here due to Bristol\u2019s superior defensive record (11 clean sheets vs Leicester\u2019s 3) and a better goal difference (+2 to -9). Bristol have conceded 11 fewer goals and are unbeaten in two of the last three H2Hs. With Leicester struggling for consistency, the draw no bet angle offers insurance on a team with a stronger away record.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
