Leicester vs Preston North End Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Prediction published on 02/10/2023, 11:34 by Sridhar in Championship Predictions

It’s one versus three in the Championship as Leicester welcome Preston North End to their King Power Stadium on Wednesday. The hosts are top after nine matches with 24 points and a two-point lead over Ipswich, while the visitors are two points further behind in third. Leicester have won eight and lost just once in the league this season, giving them a strong start in their quest to earn promotion. With 18 goals, it is their offensive strength that is leading the charge as Leicester have the joint-second best scoring record so far. At the other end, their defensive shift has seen them concede just six goals making them the best team in the league on that count. They have been impressive at home as well, winning three and losing just once in the Championship this season.

Preston have been the surprise package of the campaign so far, staying in the top-three hunt. In fact, if not for their recent blip, they could have been much closer to the Foxes. The visitors are coming off a run of two games where they could win just a single point. This has nullified a run of six straight wins, although it is still early days to rule them out. The Lilywhites have been steady with their performances this season, scoring 13 goals and letting in ten. What should spur their hopes is their mildly impressive away record in the league. Preston are unbeaten on the road this season, winning and drawing two league games each. They scored in each of those four and will fancy their chances of getting on the board once more.

Leicester - Preston North End: Form Analysis

Leicester are coming into this match on the back of a thumping 4-1 win over Blackburn last weekend. This result compensated for their exit from the Carabao Cup where they were beaten 3-1 by Premier League side Liverpool. That loss remains the Foxes’ only defeat across their last five matches, winning the remaining four. In fact, Leicester have lost just twice in this season in all competitions – winning the remaining ten. That included eight in the Championship, where they lost only once in this campaign. Preston are coming off a loss, where the 4-0 defeat to West Bromwich Albion brought them crashing to earth. That came on the heels of a 1-1 draw against Rotherham, keeping them winless in two matches. Since starting the season with a draw in the Championship and a loss in the Carabao Cup, Preston haven’t had any reverse. Before these two matches, the Lilywhites have won six games in a row in the Championship, giving them enough momentum to stay in the top-half.

Our Leicester vs Preston North End Prediction

This has to be one of the best midweek matches in the Championship as the two pace-setting teams clash out for top honours. Preston have been the surprise package of the Championship this season while Leicester have started well in their quest to reclaim a position in the top-flight. Leicester have been the second-best scoring side in the division so far and that should set them on the path of goals in this fixture. The last time these sides have faced each other was back in January 2011, so there’s no recent history of the teams that could give us a hint of how this match may shape up. Instead, it is their form this season that gives us a glimpse of what to expect. Both sides have been doing well in the scoring front and that should set them up for exciting action. Our prediction for Leicester vs Preston North End is for over 2.5 goals to be scored.
