On an action-packed Saturday, Burnley (0 wins, 4 losses, 1 draw) travels to take on Leicester City (2-3-0). Kickoff is at 10 a.m. ET at King Power Stadium. Below, we preview the Leicester City vs. Burnley odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Leicester City lost two of its last three EPL matches but is still a heavy favorite against the winless Burnley.

It most recently lost 2-1 to Brighton, a discouraging loss for a club that finished the last two seasons in fifth place. Leicester City has stayed afloat due to quality defense, having given up just 8 goals through five matches.

Burnley enters the match week in 19th place with a 1-1 draw with Leeds United. Two small positives are it lost just 1-0 to Arsenal and 2-0 to Liverpool.

Prediction

Leicester City 1, Burnley 0

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to the LEICESTER CITY (-160) despite the somewhat steep price.

Having finished in the top five in two straight seasons, Leicester City might be off to a tough start, but the culture of success is in place. F Jamie Vardy is currently tied for the fourth-most goals in the EPL with 3.

Leicester City has two wins and three losses. It defeated every team it has played that’s below it in the table. Burnley should be no different.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the UNDER 2.5 (+100) as both teams are strong defensively yet have struggled to score so far this season. Leicester has just 5 goals on the season.

It has given up 8 which includes four to West Ham; Leicester had a first-half red card in that match. Burnley has scored 3 and given up nine through five matches.

Both teams are in the bottom half of the league in shots and this should be a low-scoring match. At +100, I wouldn’t be afraid to put a unit on the Under 2.5.
