Watford aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Stoke City, but given their negative record against Leicester City at King Power Stadium, we predict a 2-1 home win. The Foxes have been having their ups and downs of late, collecting 1.4 points per game both home and away. Their attack is lively, scoring 1.6 goals per match, but they’ve yet to keep a clean sheet this season. Patson Daka is away with Zambia at AFCON, though he isn’t a first-team regular. BTTS has occurred in 80% of Leicester’s matches, reflecting difficulties at the back.
The Hornets, on the other hand, head into Friday's clash in better form, with 1.7 points per game overall and 2.0 at home. Despite missing Edo Kayembe and Mamadou Doumbia on international duty, Watford defeated Stoke without them. They score 1.7 goals per match while conceding 1.2, showing they are more solid defensively than Leicester. Away, BTTS has hit 100% of games.
H2H trends favor Leicester: in 27 matches, Leicester have 16 wins to Watford’s 8, with 3 draws. Given Leicester's fine record against Watford at King Power Stadium, Home Win should be considered, alongside BTTS (67% H2H) and Over 2.5 goals (70%).
This Championship match will be played on Friday 26 December 2025 at 15:00.
