Best Tip: Leicester to win

As the stadium fills and the Leicester players ready themselves for this clash, the bookmakers have predicted success for them. The odds and our pre-match stats below also point that way, as does the historical head-to-head (H2H) record we use in our predictive algorithms. The King Power Stadium has rarely been a successful away day for Blackburn in the past, and we we think that will be the case again on Saturday lunch time. A win / draw / win home win is the bet.
