Date: Wednesday, 03 August, 2016
Start time: 19:00 UK
Barcelona and Leicester will play a game from the International Champions Cup in Solna, Sweden.
Preview:
Barcelona played only one friendly game till now against Celtic on 30 July and won with 3:1. After Leicester Barca will play one more match from the tournament again against a team from England – Liverpool on Wembley on 06 August. The new top players till now for Blaugrana are André Gomes from Valencia for £29.75m, Samuel Umtiti from Olympique Lyon for £21.25m and Lucas Digne from PSG for £14.03m. They also bought back Denis Suárez from Villarreal CF for only £2.76m.
Leicester City played two games from the tournament so far: 1:1 against Celtic and The Foxes won with penalties. The second match was against PSG and they lost with 4:0. The biggest transfer for Leicester so far was the sale of N’Golo Kanté to Chelsea for £30.43m. The team bought Ahmed Musa from CSKA Moscow for £16.58m, Nampalys Mendy for £13.18m, the goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler from Hannover 96 for £2.98m and with free transfer the centre-back Luis Hernández from Sporting Gijón.
Betting Prediction:
Even though Leicester played more games than Barcelona which played only once the difference in classes is obvious like the match of The Foxes against PSG showed. I expect Barca to win with at least two goals and continue their winning streak in International Champions Cup.
Tip: Barcelona -1.5 Asian Handicap @ 1.825 with Bet365
