Leicester City host Oxford United looking to return to winning ways after a 1-1 draw with Wrexham midweek. As the Foxes have turned their King Power Stadium into a real fortress, we predict a 3-1 home win. Marti Cifuentes' troops face potential absences with James and Skipp doubtful, but they boast strong home form, scoring an average of 2 goals per home game and keeping 0% clean sheets, highlighting both attacking intent and defensive vulnerabilities. The Foxes have also seen BTTS in 100% of their home matches, suggesting this could be a high-scoring encounter.
Oxford United head into Saturday's game following a 0-0 draw with QPR, struggling for wins with just 10% overall, but they have shown resilience, averaging 0.6 goals per game and conceding slightly more than 1. The Yellows' away form has been weak, but their ability to frustrate opponents makes them a tricky opponent. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to East Midlands.
The only H2H meeting ended in a draw with goals at both ends, reinforcing the likelihood of a competitive, open game. Given Leicester's fine home record and attacking strength, we believe that there is big value in betting on Home Win, alongside Over 2.5 goals and Leicester City Over 1.5 goals.
This Championship match will be played on Saturday 24 January 2026 at 15:00.
