- Leicester form: Leicester City are 20th in League One 2026-2027 with 2 points from 3 games
- Plymouth form: Plymouth Argyle FC are 12th in League One 2026-2027 with 4 points from 3 games
Plymouth Park the Boat at King Power
Plymouth Argyle travel to King Power Stadium on Tuesday as priced at 3.3 against Leicester City, who are slight favourites at 2.1 and the draw 3.5. Plymouth won 1-0 at home in the last Championship 2023/2024 meeting between these two, but they failed to win the last time they played away against Leicester.
This fixture has been tight and competitive since the Championship and the two sides will be closely matched on the pitch in 2026/2027. Leicester have made a slow start to life in League One 2026-2027 with 0 draws and 1 defeat in 1 home match, whilst Plymouth are still looking for their first away win in the division, with 1 draw and 0 defeats from 1 match.
Pilgrims to be positive against the Foxes
Manager and style
Tom Cleverley has done a fantastic job since taking over as manager of Plymouth on 13 June 2025, and his Pilgrims play a structured, possession-based style that can play in rhythm and time. Plymouth's 4-4-2/4-2-3-1 shape is compact and can be hard to break down, whilst their quick combination play can catch teams in transition if Leicester overcommit.
Recent form
The Pilgrims come into this match off the back of a 2-0 win over Bradford City in League One 2026-2027, following a 2-4 defeat to Coventry City in the EFL Cup. This should put them in good spirits, but the visitors will still need to be alert as they attempt to extend their early advantage over the Foxes, who come into this game off the back of a 0-0 draw at Milton Keynes Dons in League One 2026-2027.
Stalemate on the cards at King Power
Leicester have won 1, drawn 2 and lost 2 of their last 5 matches in all competitions, so the draw looks the most likely result at the King Power on Tuesday.
However, Leicester have the edge in terms of quality and they are conceding the majority of their goals on home soil, so they could edge this one if they can settle into the rhythm of Russell Martin's progressive style of soccer.
Under 2.5 goals at 2.15 looks a solid choice too, as the hosts are averaging 2.00 goals conceded per match on their home turf in League One 2026-2027 and the visitors are yet to score more than once on the road in the competition. A narrow Leicester lean is advised, however, as Plymouth's positive style of play and Leicester's inability to break sides down should lead to a close game.
- Sammy Braybrooke is Leicester's most creative player and tops their League One 2026-2027 assist charts with 1 in 3, whilst Harvey White is Plymouth's sharpest finisher in the third tier with 1 goal in 3 matches.
- Jayden Joseph is Leicester's main goal threat in the new campaign with 1 in 2 matches.
