Leicester City
- Leicester have failed to win their last two home Championship games (D1, L1).
- Martí Cifuentes’ side are coming off a mixed run of one win, one draw and three defeats in their last five Championship games and will look to establish control of the play against Mark Robins’ pragmatic Stoke team on Saturday, according to our Leicester City vs Stoke prediction.
- The Foxes boss has tried to instil a more structured counter-press and patient build-up game since taking over in July 2025, but results haven’t yet fully flowed.
- He has some decent players at his disposal, but none better than Abdul Fatawu in wide areas, where his pace, directness and vision to cut inside are key to Leicester’s ability to break lines and unlock stubborn defences.
Stoke City
- Stoke are third in the Championship with 27 points from 15 games, Leicester are 12th with 21 from 15 games.
- Stoke have a strong away record in the league (W4, D2, L2). This is one of the main reasons for our Leicester City vs Stoke betting tips suggesting value on the away side getting a result.
- Stoke have been a lot more pragmatic and structured in their game plan since Robins took over as manager at the start of January 2025.
- Stoke are the more in-form team with three wins and two defeats from their last five league games and will come at Leicester after a resounding 3-0 away victory at Oxford United.
- Divin Mubama is their leading scorer in the Championship with five goals in 15 appearances and has scored three goals in Stoke’s last five games, making him a threat in transition.
- Stoke, by contrast, have been tough to beat away from home and will take heart from their four wins in eight road games this term. In the context of this form, our Leicester City vs Stoke betting tips are particularly relevant for this upcoming clash.
Head-to-Head
But the Potters have never beaten Leicester in recent meetings, so it’s a tough call for a couple of decent wagers.

Betting Insights
The odds for both teams to score, which are offered at around 1.9 , look tempting on that basis but we’ll just about go with the hosts to win this by the smallest margin as Stoke could easily snatch a point.
