Both Teams to Score: Yes<\/strong><\/td>\n8\/11 @ Bet365<\/a>
(57.9%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nLeicester have conceded in 34 of 39 games and kept just 5 clean sheets; Preston are more robust but have only 9 clean sheets and a shot accuracy of 43.97%. Both sides have scored in two of the last three meetings. There could be value here due to the consistent defensive lapses on both sides and their ability to create high-quality chances.<\/td>\n
Correct Score: 1-1<\/strong><\/td>\n11\/2 @ Bet365<\/a>
(15.4%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nRecent matches between these teams have either been clear wins or tight affairs. With both sides needing points and showing attacking intent but lacking defensive assurance, a 1-1 scoreline is a plausible outcome and the odds are generous for a low-stakes play.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n
