Leicester
- The main selection won in 3 of Leicester's last 5 games in all competitions (W3, D1, L1).
- It's 14th place Leicester against 23rd place Peterborough in League One 2026-2027 (L1 2026/2027) after The Foxes have posted nine points from seven games and The Posh have picked up just five from eight, although there is still plenty of time left in the season.
- Russell Martin has started to build his Leicester in his own image as a possession-based side that tries to dominate the ball and press in waves.
- They've won just one of their three home games in L1 2026/2027 so far, but they're likely to come out on top against a Peterborough side that have yet to win on the road (D1, L3).
Peterborough
- Peterborough boss Robbie Savage has made his side a bit more direct than Leicester and they've been more than willing to spring forward at pace in the open field, although that can also leave them vulnerable at the back.
- They've won just one of their three home games in L1 2026/2027 so far, but they're likely to come out on top against a Peterborough side that have yet to win on the road (D1, L3).
- The Posh have averaged just 0.25 goals per-game on their travels, so that isn't a great omen for the visitors.
Head-to-Head
- The main selection scored 3 goals when Leicester beat Peterborough by a 3-1 result in the previous encounter.
- The Foxes won the last meeting by a 3-1 scoreline in a Friendly Club Match 2026 and we're going for a similar result at King Power Stadium in what should be an entertaining encounter.
Key Players
Emil Riis Jakobsen is Leicester 's most likely finisher with two goals in three games , but Louis Page has been the creative force so far with three assists in six games in L1 2026/2027.
Betting Insights
- Leicester are the firm favorites at 1.53 with the visitors at 5.2, which is a little surprising given how these sides have fared to date.
- The draw is available at 4.5 but we're not taking it here.
- Leicester should win this game, but the Posh's ability to hit on the counter will likely make it a tighter game than the odds suggest.
Prediction
- Leicester are clearly the better side and the most obvious selection here is for them to simply win the match.
- There does look to be some value in adding the goals market into the selection as Leicester are unlikely to be held to a single goal by The Posh.
