Leicester vs Stoke: Top free betting tips

On the back of a defeat against Southampton, Stoke City travel to league leaders Leicester City in Round 11 of the Championship on Saturday, 7 October. The Foxes enter this game after extending their winning form against Preston North End in the second division.

Match result prediction: Leicester to win

Leicester City have earned five consecutive league victories before this game. The Foxes have also emerged victorious in four of the recent five games at King Power Stadium. But Stoke City are on the other end of the spectrum with only one win in the last five road fixtures, losing three of them. The Foxes have also defeated the Potters in three of the recent five H2Hs while ending two in draws. Therefore, we back Leicester to find all three points in this game.

Both teams to score prediction: No

Three of the recent four H2Hs of these two sides have finished without BTTS outcomes. Leicester City have found the back of the net in each of their previous six games in the Championship and EFL Cup. Defensively, the Foxes have registered three clean sheets in their previous four matches. On the other hand, the Potters have failed to score in four of their six road fixtures in the league and EFL Cup. Given these statistics, we predict only Leicester City to be strong enough to score in this game.

Correct score prediction: 2-0 to Leicester

Leicester have scored multiple goals in four of their previous five league outings. On the defensive end, the Foxes conceded just one goal in three of their last five games at King Power Stadium. Meanwhile, the Potters have allowed two goals at the back in each of their last three matches away from Bet365 Stadium. Therefore, we can predict a 2-0 victory for Leicester in this encounter.
