Leicester City vs Charlton Predictions

Foxes to grind past travel-sick Charlton

Leicester are the best bet to beat Charlton at the King Power Stadium on Saturday. The visitors have been poor on the road this season, with just two wins in 15 away games.

Both teams have lost more games than they’ve won this season, but Leicester are five places and six points above Charlton in the table. The hosts sit 14th with ten wins and 11 losses, while Charlton are 19th with eight wins and 12 defeats.

Leicester have scored in 12 consecutive Championship games and found the net in 15 of their last 16 matches. They secured a 3-1 victory over Ipswich in December, showcasing their consistent attacking threat.

The visitors are enduring a rough spell. Charlton have failed to win any of their last nine Championship away games and have lost the last two in succession. They have won just once in their last seven matches overall.

The visitors have been disappointing in front of goal away from home this season, scoring just 12 goals in 15 games – an average of 0.80 goals a game on the road.

Their defence has been far from solid of late. Charlton have gone nine Championship away days without recording a shutout and have conceded 24 goals on the road this season – an average of 1.60 per game from 15 matches.

Leicester were 1-0 winners against Charlton last time they met in the Championship and, with the visitors having lost six of their last eight away games, a narrow home win looks a decent correct-score option.
