In this stadium, the history of direct confrontations is favorable to the home team, which records 2 wins and 1 draw in the last 3 games. However, the last time these two teams played a match at this stadium was on 10-11-2018, in a Premier League match that ended in a draw for (0-0). Despite being a match between 4th and 7th of the table, it is actually a confrontation between the 2nd ranked in home games and the 14th as a visitor.
Leicester City :
The home team is currently in the 4th position, with 14 points won, after 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. In the penultimate match, he won at home against Newcastle United by (5-0). In the last game, he lost out against Liverpool by (2‑1). This is a stronger team in his stadium, where he conquered 10 points, against only 4 in his away matches.

For this competition, he does not lose in his stadium 4 games ago.

In 8 games in the competition, he suffered the first goal 4 times and only got 1 comeback.
Leicester comes to this game with little motivation, after a 2-1 defeat with Liverpool, in a game in which James Maddison scored the team’s only goal. Keep in mind that he added two consecutive victories in the Premier League, against Tottenham and Newcastle. The defeat on the first day is unlikely to affect coach Brendan Rodgers and for this reason he will keep the team in its usual tactical design, 4-3-3, in which James Maddison, Ayoze Pérez and Jamie Vardy are the men most advanced equipment. The last athlete named is Leicester’s best gunner, with 5 goals scored. Out of this game is Matty James, due to physical problems.
Burnley :
After 3 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, the away team is currently in 7th position, with 12 points won. In their last game, they won Everton at home by (1‑0), after in the previous game they had drawn away, in a match against Aston Villa, by (2‑2). This is a stronger team in his stadium, where he won 9 points, against only 3 in his away matches. For the championship, Burnley conquered 3 points in 12 possible, after 3 draws and 1 defeat in the last 4 games he played as a visitor.
For this competition, he did not win any of the last 4 away matches. His attack has scored regularly, as he scored goals in 7 of the last 8 games for this competition. In 8 games in this competition, he never got the comeback in the 4 games in which he suffered the first goal.
The moment of form of the Burnley in the championship is very positive. The visiting team has recorded four successive days without tasting the bitter taste of defeat and in the last game they beat Everton by 1×0: the team’s only goal was scored by Hendrick. However, we remember that the visitors have not yet won any games away from home. In this game against Leicester, coach Sean Dyche must act with a defensive strategy, seeking only the counterattack to explore the opponent’s back. Ashley Barnes is Burnley’s top scorer, with 4 goals scored. Unavailable due to injury will be Drinkwater and Cork.
