Leicester v Brighton betting tips, odds is 2.38

After a run of three defeats from four winless outings, Leicester have gotten back on track with victories over Sheffield Utd and AEK Athens.

Jamie Vardy’s late strike against the former keeps them just three points adrift of league leaders Tottenham, while the latter result ensured the Foxes took top spot in their Europa League group with a perfect home record.

Brighton are creating chances and even if they lack a top predator to tuck chances away with ruthless efficiency, they can still grab a goal here. Both teams have scored in eight of their last nine league games, though they remain too open at the back.
