Fulham did great in their first match after the change in coach, but failed to live up to the expectations as they returned to losing ways. They have been in terrible shape lately and will now play host to Leicester on Wednesday. Leicester are coming off a great win and have been in the exactly opposite form.

Fulham (2-10-2) made a much-needed change in coach a couple of matches ago, when they brought coach Ranieri who won the Premier League with Leicester a couple of years ago. The team did great to beat Southampton by 2-3 at home in his first match at the helm, but Fulham had a much harder task in their last match. They were hosted by Chelsea and would hope for a point, but conceded once in each half to lose by an easy 0-2. Fulham are still stuck at the bottom spot of the Premier League with 8 points after 14 matches. They have been slightly better at home this season (2-3-1), where they have also recorded a 0-2 win against Exeter in the Carabao Cup.
Leicester (6-5-3) were really lucky in their match against Watford on Saturday, as they were awarded a penalty kick at just the 12th minute. Jamie Vardy didn’t fail to convert, as Leicester went on to grab all three points by scoring another goal at the first half for the final 0-2. Leicester have been in really solid shape lately, as they are undefeated in their last six matches in all competitions (2-0-4). They have kept four clean sheets in that span and all six matches featured Under 2.5 Goals. Leicester are now sitting at the 8th spot of the league table with 21 points, one behind Manchester United and Everton. They have been quite competitive on the road so far (3-3-1), where they have lost just one of their last five (2-1-2).

We have two very different sides here, as Fulham like to play offensive soccer which has resulted in matches with a lot of goals. Leicester are really careful in their away matches where goals are at a premium. The last four matches between the two were explosive goal-fests and we just might see another high-scoring match here.
