- Leicester City are 13th in the League One 2026/2027 table with 15 points from 11 games.
- Stevenage Borough are 12th in the table on the same 15 points from 11 matches.
Stevenage can score at King Power
These are two very different teams with contrasting styles, but it is the visitors that could be a problem for the Foxes.
The hosts are coming off a 4-0 away win at Bromley and a 2-1 loss at Luton today, a result which is a timely reminder that they have both punch and inconsistency in their DNA. Russell Martin has got them playing with the ball and in possession, while they can be really effective counter-pressing opponents off the ball when it clicks.
But The Boro will try to nick turnovers and break at pace, so this could be more open than some other home fixtures have been for the hosts.
No clear favourite in this clash
Leicester are the 39/50 favourites with Stevenage 16/5 and the draw 11/4 and that reflects the close nature of the two sides in the early stages of the 2026/2027 campaign. The Boro, who beat the Foxes 2-1 in the EFL Trophy 2026/2027 only two weeks ago, know they can hurt them and that seems the best value bet here.
Alex Revell has his players playing on the front foot and pressing high, but it is a question of whether they will hold on to the ball if they win it back. They have plenty of wing delivery, which should suit the pace and power of Wanya Marcal-Madivadua, who has scored two of their six goals in the last five.
Leicester's key man is Emil Riis Jakobsen, who has two in three League One 2026/2027 appearances and three in the club's last five games. Sammy Braybrooke has been their creative spark, however, with three assists in those five games which have seen Leicester score nine goals.
Boro will make it interesting
Leicester's home record and Stevenage's away threat makes this a little too close to call, although the value is definitely with Leicester. A draw would not be the worst result for either coach, but Leicester have the extra bit of quality to get this game. Stevenage have three wins and two defeats in their last five, so their momentum was a bit stopped by back-to-back defeats either side of a 3-0 home win over Plymouth. Boro's Dan Kemp has three goals in seven League One 2026/2027 outings and is the biggest threat to the Leicester goal, so he is a good bet in the anytime goal-scorer market.
