REVIEW Preston North End vs Leicester City
IDDAAKOLIK POST-MATCH REVIEW

Preston North End nicked a narrow win over Leicester City 2-1. Half-time: 1-0.

We leaned Leicester City at 46% — softly — and the game went the other way. Slim leads do that. The goals read — under 2.5 goals (55%) — went the other way, though.

By the numbers, Leicester City saw more of the ball, 60% to 40%, shots finished 14-14, expected goals 2.48 to 0.92 — on chances created, Preston North End won this by more than the scoreboard admits.

For context: across their last 6 meetings in our records, Leicester City led the recent series with 3 wins, 1 drawn. Scoring in those meetings ran 0.83 a game for Preston North End against 1.33 for Leicester City.
