Opta Stats: Everton v Leicester

By
Everton can move within three points of Leicester if they beat them on Wednesday night. Opta rates their chances.
Everton have only failed to score in two of their last 15 Premier League games against Leicester City. Over 2.5 goals is 2.32.
The Toffees have won two of their last three Premier League meetings with the Foxes, as many as in their previous 15 combined. Everton are 3.15 to win.
Everton are winless in their last six Premier League matches (D3 L3), after winning four of the five prior to that (D1). The draw is 3.20.
The Foxes have kept clean sheets in all three of their Premier League games in 2018 so far - there have only been eight previous occasions of a club keeping a clean sheet in their first four games of a calendar year in the competition, most recently by Manchester City in 2013. Leicester are 2.90 to keep a clean sheet.
Leicester won their previous Premier League match on a Wednesday 4-1 vs Southampton in December - they had only netted four goals across their previous 11 Wednesday top-flight matches. The Foxes are 2.66 to win.
In 10 Premier League games under Sam Allardyce, Everton have averaged an xG total of 0.88 per game. Before he came in, the Toffees were averaging chances worth 1.10 per game. Under 2.5 goals is 1.73.
Indeed, under Allardyce Everton have had fewer attempts on target than any other Premier League side (25). Under 1.5 goals is 3.20.
Jamie Vardy has scored three goals in his last three Premier League appearances against Everton. The England forward has scored three and assisted two more in his five league games against the Toffees overall. Vardy is 2.70 to score.
Wayne Rooney failed to score in his five Premier League games against Leicester for Man Utd but has netted in two of his three for Everton. Rooney is 4.00 to find the net.
Riyad Mahrez's goal against Watford took him to 59 Premier League goals or assists for Leicester (35 goals, 24 assists) - only Jamie Vardy (72) has been involved in more for the Foxes in the competition (Muzzy Izzet also 59). Mahrez is 4.50 to score.

Atletico Madrid v Borussia Dortmund: In-form Germans will score again

By
Atletico Madrid  1.84  v Borussia Dortmund  5.10 ; The Draw  3.75 Tuesday 6 November, 20:00 Live on BT Sport Extra Borussia mark themselves out as contenders with Atletico thumping The reverse fixture produced one of the shock results in the last round of  Champions League  games, as Borussia Dortmund thrashed Atletico Madrid 4-0 at home. Dortmund's margin of victory against such an experienced European outfit, famed for their defensive solidity, was a major show of intent and marks them out as real contenders to win the competition. At the weekend they continued their fine form with a 1-0 win at  Wolfsburg , which stretched their unbeaten record this season (P17 W14 D3 L0). Lucien Favre's  side are now four points clear at the top of the Bundesliga, which is the same number that currently separates Atletico Madrid from the La Liga leaders Barcelona. A 1-1 draw at Leganes over the weekend, stretched Atletico's unbeaten run in their d...

Eintracht Frankfurt v Borussia Dortmund: Eagles to build a wall in Berlin

By
Eintracht Frankfurt v Borussia Dortmund Saturday 27 May, 19:00 Live on BT Sport ESPN Eintracht Frankfurt This time last season, Eintracht Frankfurt were  fighting for survival  in a Bundesliga playoff against second-tier side Nurnberg. Fast forward a year, and they are preparing for their first major cup final since 2006, having finished well clear of relegation trouble this term. Having steered the Eagles through that playoff against Nurnberg, coach  Niko Kovac  set about galvanising not just the squad, but the entire club. Working with sporting director Bruno Hubner and former Germany striker Fredi Bobic,  Kovac has injected new life into an organisation that was drifting. Youngsters like defender  Jesus Vallejo  and forward Ante Rebic have been brought in on loan to good effect, and astute pickups like holding midfielder Omar Mascarell and forward Branimir Hrgota have become effective cogs in the machine. Although Frankfurt have twice...

Real Madrid v Plzen: Back hosts' scoring struggles to continue

By
Real Madrid  1.09  v Plzen  40.00 ; The Draw  15.00 Tuesday 23 October, 20:00 Live on BT Sport ESPN Lopetegui on brink as Madrid malaise continues Ordinarily this match would almost be guaranteed to be a routine home win that had the potential to be embarrassing for the visitors, but these are not ordinary times at  Real Madrid . The Spanish giants are now without a win in their last five games (D1 L4), after losing 2-1 at home to Levante at the weekend.  Marcelo's  72nd minute goal broke a painful spell of 481 accumulated minutes without a goal. Unsurprisingly,  Julen Lopetegui  is under huge pressure and it would be no surprise if he were sacked before this match takes place on Tuesday. If he survives the game and it's aftermath, then Sunday's El Clasico could finish him off. Despite Real's abject form, it would still be a massive shock if they failed to beat Viktoria Plzen, who were thrashed 5-0 by Roma in their most recent...
