Leicester City to Win

Reason for tip

Leicester City look well placed to take maximum points when they host Oxford United in the Championship. The Foxes are trending in the right direction at home, winning four of their last six league games at the King Power Stadium, and they are scoring freely, finding the net in 11 straight Championship matches. Oxford, by contrast, have been poor travellers all season, with just two away wins and no clean sheet in nine road games. That imbalance points strongly towards a home win.

Leicester City 2-1

Reason for tip

Goals at both ends look likely, but Leicester should have enough quality to edge it. Their matches have been among the most open in the division, with no team involved in more Championship games featuring over 2.5 goals this season. Oxford have struggled defensively away from home and also lack consistency in attack, failing to score in four of their last six league games. Leicester have won their last two home matches by a 2-1 scoreline, and a repeat of that outcome fits the patterns well here.

Leicester can make home advantage count against Oxford

Leicester are the best bet to beat Oxford at home in the Championship on Saturday. The visitors have been poor on the road this season, with just two wins in 13 away games.

Leicester are ninth places above Oxford in the table, with 14 points separating the two sides. The hosts have ten wins, eight draws and ten defeats from their 28 games this season, while Oxford have won five, drawn nine and lost 13.

Leicester have found some form in front of goal, having scored in 11 successive Championship games. They have also netted in 14 of their last 15 league matches, including a 3-1 win over Ipswich in December.

Leicester have won four of their last six home games in the Championship and come into this match on the back of two consecutive victories at home.

Oxford are in poor form away from home, having failed to win any of their last six Championship games on the road. They have only won one of their last nine matches overall.

The visitors lack killer instinct in front of goal. Oxford have failed to score in four of their last six Championship matches.

The visitors’ defence has been far from solid, with Oxford going nine Championship away days without keeping a clean sheet.

Leicester may be able to edge out Oxford in a close game, with a 2-1 home win the correct-score pick. No team has played more Championship matches with over 2.5 goals than Leicester this term, and they have won their last two home games 2-1.
