Premier League - Football: We've Boosted prices on Leicester City v Nottingham Forest

Check out our selection of Bet Boosts available on Monday night's Premier League clash between struggling Leicester City and Nottingham Forest.

Winless Leicester City play host to fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest on Monday Night Football in a game that could have hugely significant bearings on the fortunes of each side’s campaign.

We may only have recently started the transition from summer to autumn, but already the Premier League knives have started to sharpen with Bruno Lage following Thomas Tuchel and Scott Parker through the trap-door at the weekend following Wolves’ 2-0 defeat at West Ham United.

There are suggestions that Brendan Rodgers could become the fourth top-flight managerial casualty sooner rather than later too – a move that could be accelerated if his underperforming side fail to overcome Steve Cooper’s outfit at the King Power Stadium (20:00 BST).

Such is the cut-throat nature of the Premier League, there are absolutely no guarantees over the future of the current Forest boss either, despite Cooper catapulting the two-time European Cup winners back to the top-flight in the spring.

An eye-wateringly huge summer outlay was designed with the intent of not only preserving the club’s Premier League status, but with one eye on even challenging for a comfortable mid-table finish.

An ambition that, at present, appears a long way away given a poor run of form that has seen the Nottinghamshire side notch up just a solitary victory, over West Ham, and four points from their opening seven league outings.

It’s the King Power Stadium that the top-flight spotlight shines brightly on on Monday though, as the two struggling sides strive to turn things around and begin to elevate themselves up and away from the lower-echelons of the league table.

And to get you in the mood for the game, bet365 have a selection of Boosted Bet Builders available on the big game.

Leicester City v Nottingham Forest

Match result will be Leicester City
Patson Daka – Over 0.5 Shots on Target in the Match
Both Teams to Score in the Match - Yes

Was 4/1 >> Now 6/1

Backing up the boost!

Match result will be Leicester City:

Leicester City were backed by many to be competing for a coveted European spot this season, so for their Premier League status to appear in jeopardy at this moment in time seems unconceivable.

With players of the ilk of James Maddison, Jamie Vardy and Youri Tielemans, you’d think it is only a matter of time until the Foxes regain their confidence – and Forest may offer them the perfect opportunity of doing that.

Patson Daka – Over 0.5 Shots on Target in the Match:

In Patson Daka, Leicester also possess a frontman who enjoyed an eye-catching Premier League breakthrough last term – netting double-figures in his first season with the club following a big money move from RB Salzburg.

He, like many others, hasn’t quite hit the same trajectory this term, but after getting off the mark with a well-taken strike in the recent defeat against Spurs, the goalscoring onus is likely to fall upon him on Monday evening.

Both Teams to Score in the Match – Yes:

We all know there are no guarantees in the beautiful game, but even the most pessimistic football fan will surely be expecting goals in this one!

A total of 55 goals have been scored in the 14 games the two sides have featured in this campaign, so surely there will be opportunities aplenty, with both sides hoping to capitalise on their opponents' defensive frailties.

James Maddison – To Score from Outside the Box

Was 6/1 >> Now 15/2

Backing up the boost!

Since making his Foxes debut during the 2018/19 season James Maddison has established himself as one of the most potent finishers from distance, with only Harry Kane and James Ward-Prowse bettering his blistering tally of strikes from outside the 18-yard box.

The England World Cup hopeful has been in fine fettle this term too, scoring three times already, and will be keen to pull the trigger whenever, and wherever, he gets the opportunity to do so against Forest – making his boosted price of 15/2 hugely appealing.
