The “Cherries” and the “Foxes” rarely play against each other. This is due to the fact that Bournemouth often plays in the Championships rather than in the Premier League. Leicester, on the contrary, is rarely out of the main soccer division of the country. The teams’ matches seldom end with a large number of goals. On average, the “Cherries” score 1.25 goals per game, while the “Foxes” – 1.3.
Top scorers within the confrontation between the “Cherries” and “Foxes”
Jamie Vardy is considered the best scorer of the club from Leicester in the Bournemouth vs Leicester games. The footballer became a true legend of the “Foxes”. As part of this squad, he became one of the best forwards in England. His goals helped the club win the Premier League gold medals, which they failed to do for the last 50 years.
The forward came to Leicester in 2012. He managed to score only 5 goals in his first season. It was only a warm-up, as he scored more than 100 goals in subsequent games. In total, the player had 164 goals. He still plays in the “Foxes” camp. The best season in terms of goals for Vardy came in the 2015/2016 season. He scored as many as 24 goals. Jamie had 7 accurate shots in all the meetings with Bournemouth. It is the best indicator among both teams.
Bournemouth does not have a single player who would be the leader in the number of goals against Leicester. There are 7 such players, including:
- Marc Pugh. He played for the “Cherries” from 2009 to 2019. The player scored a total of 45 goals for the team and only 2 in games with the “Foxes”.
- Ryan Fraser. The Scottish midfielder played for Bournemouth. He joined the club when it was still in the First League. Together with the team, the footballer reached the Premier League. The footballer scored 20 goals. He scored 2 times in the Bournemouth goal.
- Callum Wilson. The English forward played for the “Foxes” from 2014 to 2019. In his first season for the club, he scored 23 goals. The following seasons were not as successful. In only 5 seasons, the attacker marked 58 goals. Like the previous players, he has 2 goals for the “Foxes” on his account
