I'm backing Leicester to beat Stevenage 3-1 on 31 October 2026 at 18:00. Leicester just hammered Wigan 3-0 in midweek and I expect them to stay sharp at home. The Foxes have scored 2.40 goals per game across their last five matches at King Power, and their midfield of Will Smallbone and Louis Page has been clicking. Emil Riis Jakobsen leads the line and should find space against a Stevenage defence weakened by injuries to Luther James-Wildin and Dan Kemp. I see Leicester's attacking rhythm continuing here.
Stevenage lost 1-0 to MK Dons last weekend and now travel without two key defensive players. My read is that their reshuffled back line with Kaelan Casey and Chem Campbell will struggle to contain Leicester's pace and movement. Josh Magennis and Michael Mellon can trouble Leicester's defence, but I don't see them scoring more than once.
Form and H2H
I've studied Leicester's last ten matches and they've won five, drawn one, and lost four at home, averaging 2.30 goals for and 1.69 against. That's a solid home record. Away, Stevenage have won six of their last ten, but I'm not convinced by their defensive numbers on the road—they've conceded 0.80 goals per game, which looks fragile against Leicester's current form.
The head-to-head tells me something important: Stevenage beat Leicester 2-1 just three weeks ago on 6 October. I expect Leicester to respond with intensity and precision. My profit trends show Leicester's home win has been undervalued recently, and I'm taking them to settle the score decisively.
Best bet
I'm going Leicester 3-1 Stevenage at the correct score. I don't have a 1xBet price for this exact scoreline in my odds table, but the fixture has all the ingredients: Leicester's attacking potency at home, Stevenage's defensive vulnerabilities, and the psychological edge Leicester will carry after that recent loss. I'm also interested in Over 2.5 goals because Leicester's home matches have averaged 4.20 goals this season. The visitors will score at least once, but I see Leicester winning comfortably.
Odds to watch
I don't have 1xBet prices for Over/Under or Asian Handicap lines in my current odds table, so I can't quote exact figures for those markets. However, I'd monitor Both Teams Score and any Over 2.5 goals lines if they're available, given the attacking nature of both sides and Leicester's recent form. The correct score at 3-1 remains my main play, and I'm confident enough in Leicester's superiority to back them without needing heavy odds.
