- Leicester City have won one of their three League One 2026/2027 home fixtures, scoring just three goals at the King Power so far.
- The Foxes are the clear favourites for Saturday's meeting at 53/100, with the Posh at 21/5 and the draw at 7/2.
- Leicester have won three, drawn one, and lost one of their last five games in all competitions, while Peterborough have won two, drawn one, and lost two of their last five.
Foxes and Posh set to face off again
Leicester City come into their League One 2026-2027 meeting with Peterborough United sitting 14th in the table with nine points from seven games, while the visitors are 23rd with five from eight.
The Foxes have won just one of their first three home fixtures in the new division, scoring only three goals at the King Power, while Peterborough are yet to record a League One 2026-2027 away win, drawing one and losing three from four games on the road, averaging a measly 0.25 goals per game.
Leicester have been the more impressive side, though, and already have the edge in the head-to-head after beating Peterborough 3-1 in the home Friendly Club Match 2026.
Foxes to outfox the Posh
Since then, Leicester have beaten Stockport County 4-3 away from home, held Barnsley to a 1-1 draw and crushed Fulham's U21 side 6-1 at home in the EFL Trophy.
In terms of creativity and goals, Louis Page is Leicester's biggest threat, having registered three assists in six League One 2026-2027 matches, while Emil Riis Jakobsen, with two goals in three, is their main finishing threat.
Peterborough are a solid team, but they have wobbled over their past three, losing 2-0 at home to Doncaster and 1-0 away to Stockport before beating Colchester 3-1 in the EFL Trophy.
Ben Woods leads the Posh's scoring charts with two in seven matches in League One 2026-2027, but the team who have a problem in front of goal are most likely to lose on Saturday.
The Posh have some sting
Leicester manager Russell Martin has already begun to mould his side into the kind of side he wants to play - a team who want to dominate the ball and press in coordinated waves, while Robbie Savage has taken Peterborough the other way and prefers to hit fast on the break and punish space behind the back line.
That possession-versus-transition clash should suit Leicester, but Peterborough's counter threat could keep it tighter than the odds suggest.
Our main selection, therefore, is Leicester to win and over 2.5 goals as the best way of getting a return from this game.
