Leicester City has seen Both Teams to Score (BTTS) land in 100% of their last five matches.

Leicester City manager Marti Cifuentes labeled his side's first-half capitulation against QPR as "unacceptable" after trailing 4-0 at the interval. Surprisingly, the Spaniard refused to make half-time substitutions, forcing his starting lineup to take accountability for the performance. Cifuentes hopes this disciplinary approach will spark a reaction for the Boxing Day clash with Watford, despite ongoing injury constraints affecting his bench options.

Both Teams to Score @1.71
The statistical evidence for Both Teams to Score in this clash is overwhelming. Leicester City has seen this market land in every single one of their last five matches. They have a potent attack that has produced 11 goals recently, but their defense has been consistently breached. On the other side, Watford is a scoring machine on the road, netting in their last five away trips and 12 games overall. With Leicester conceding 1.1 goals at home and Watford conceding 1.6 away, neither side looks capable of a shutout. The Foxes’ style naturally leaves gaps, and Watford’s momentum suggests they are perfectly placed to exploit them. Given that 73% of matches for both clubs this season have ended with BTTS, this is the most logical trend to follow. It’s a clash of two styles that prioritize offense over defensive stability.
