Leicester City
- Leicester City are 10th in the League One 2026/2027 table with 15 points from 10 games.
- Leicester City's home record in League One 2026/2027 is two wins and three defeats from five, conceding 10 goals at an average of 2.00 per game.
- The Foxes are a much more possession-based team in the Russell Martin era, although they have had back-to-back wins.
- Leicester looked to have turned a corner after beating Doncaster Rovers 2-1 at home before thumping Bromley 4-0 away from home, but they had previously slumped to a 1-3 home defeat to Peterborough United.
- Emil Riis Jakobsen is the Foxes' top scorer in League One 2026/2027 with two in three and Admir Bristric has scored three of Leicester's ten goals in their last five.
Wigan Athletic
- Wigan Athletic are 24th in the League One 2026/2027 standings with seven points from 10.
- League One 2026/2027 relegation favourites Wigan Athletic are still seeking their first away win of the season after five games on the road (D1, L4), but they will still arrive at the King Power Stadium with a bite.
- Gary Caldwell's men have won two of their last five games but lost the other three, edging Reading 1-0 at home before a 2-1 defeat away to Oxford United, so they arrive with a little momentum but shaky away legs.
- Scott Hogan has scored two of the Latics' four goals in their last five, making him their hottest finisher right now, while Jensen Weir is the club's top scorer in League One 2026/2027 with two goals from seven games.

Betting Insights
- Russell Martin has done a great job at Leicester since taking over on 1st July 2026 and has really stamped his style onto the team.
- The build-up is structured and there is some good quick circulation, but the key is the aggressive counter-pressing when they lose the ball.
- Caldwell has clearly done the same at Wigan since taking over on 16th February 2026, although his side are more pragmatic and shape-focused.
- Leicester are the clear favorites at 1.59 and Wigan look overpriced at 4.82, while the draw is 3.95.
Prediction
We like the chance of a Leicester win and over 1.5 total goals here as the hosts should be able to put enough pressure on Wigan to create opportunities.
