Pre-match information:
Date: on the 01st of January, 2019 (Tuesday)
Match start: 13:30 (GMT+1)
Tournament: English Premier League.
The first match in 2019 will be held in Liverpool – there on Goodison Park will be fighting two mid level teams Everton and Leicester.
Now the gap between the teams of Marco Silva and Claude Puel is only two positions and 1 point: The Toffees with 27 points are closing the top-10 of the strongest teams and the Foxes with 28 points take the 8th position.
The end of the 2018 year didn’t bring any happy mood – both teams have lost with the same score 0:1 in the matches where they had to score points and to win.
Everton after the amazing victory 5:1 over Burnley had suffered the crisis of ideas and couldn’t break the defense of Brighton.
The situation in which Leicester has got is even more interesting – the team from King Power has won over Chelsea and Man City and the fans hoped that the team will gain another success in the match against Cardiff but the Foxes had managed to miss a penalty at the end of the meeting and to miss the goal in injury time.
If not to mention the last match with Brighton, then Everton demonstrates quite resultative football: scores a lot or misses a series of goals.
We can wait that the Toffees in frames of the home match will attack but Leicester is also good – only in one out of last 10 matches it has scored together with its rival more than 2 goals.
We think that the hosts will work hard to score a lot of goals and the Toffees won’t be in a status of a loser.
