Match preview

I'm backing Leicester to win this 2-1 on 27 October 2026 at 22:45. Leicester have won five of their last ten matches and concede just 1.70 goals per game at home. Wigan arrive in poor shape, winning only three of their last ten and averaging under a goal per game on the road. The Foxes' home record and Wigan's fragile away form make this a straightforward pick for me.

Form and H2H

I've studied the head-to-head and Leicester dominate this fixture. They won 2-0 in September 2013, drew 2-2 in April 2014, and won 2-0 again in January 2020. My read of the recent form is even clearer: Leicester average 2.20 goals at home while Wigan average just 0.90 away. That gap tells me everything I need to know about where this match is headed.

Best bet

I'm taking Leicester to win at 1.4 on 1xBet. I also like Both Teams to Score at 1.67, which fits my 2-1 prediction. Wigan have conceded in most of their away games, and Leicester's attacking form at home suggests they'll get at least two. The price on BTTS reflects value for me given how these teams have played recently.

Odds to watch

I'll monitor Over 2.5 at 1.46 and Under 2.5 at 2.38 on 1xBet. My 2-1 scoreline sits just above that line, so I'm comfortable with Over 2.5 as a secondary play. The Asian Handicap -0.25 for Leicester at 1.23 is tight but worth considering if you want shorter odds on a home win. I'm staying with the 2-1 correct score as my main conviction.
