Leicester vs Tranmere Prediction

Tranmere started off this League Two season in an average manner as they recorded one win. And two draws in their opening matches. The team will have a very hard test with that form on Tuesday as they faces Leicester from Premier League in their upcoming EFL match.

They have met many times in the past, but has only met once in the last 15 years. And Leicester won the game scoring 0-2 on the road. On top of that Leicester was unbeaten in five of their last seven home outings while Tranmere follows a five-match winless streak on the road but netted 7 goals in that period.

Leicester has scored 12 goals in their last four home wins while allowing three. Since they faces this Tranmere side, we like to suggest a 4-1 win for the Leicester side. The-2.5 Asian Handicap tip in favor of the Leicester side will be our second suggestion for this match.
