Chance for Foxes to take some bite out of Magpies
Form
The Magpies are in a bad spell and are likely to find it difficult to hold Leicester City at Meadow Lane on Saturday.
- Notts County have lost their last three consecutive matches – two back-to-back away defeats to Viborg FF and Randers FC followed by a 2-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest.
- Leicester have hardly been free-flowing during the past few weeks with a 3-3 draw at Malaga followed by a 0-1 defeat at home to Genoa in their last two games, but their form of one win, six draws and three defeats across their last ten in all competitions, indicates cagey but unbeaten stretches.
Managers
Martin Paterson has been in charge of Notts County since 22 June 2025 and has yet to create a side that combines his favoured possession play with the bite and directness his new club are demanding. Russell Martin has had the Foxes at it for only a few weeks longer – since 1 July 2026 – and is already building a side around his possession-first, build-from-the-back blueprint.
Prediction
Leicester are rightful favorites for this match at 2.07, but the 3.5 about Notts County or 3.3 about the draw seem a little low given the hosts are a more flexible, high-intensity side than the one that went down two divisions. The visitors have been solid but not spectacular on the road in 2026-2027, so we will back the Foxes to win by a goal.
No value in goals
The goals market tells us this will be a tight contest too with Under 2.5 goals at 1.78 and Both Teams To Score – No at 1.93.
Leicester's structured style should see them dominate the ball and keep Notts County boxed in for long periods, but we don't foresee a landslide victory for the visitors.
We will take Leicester to come away with all three points from this League One clash of 2026-2027, but the fact they have drawn three of five away games this term points to a close 1-0 victory.
