MIddlesbrough vs Leicester Preview
Middlesbrough take on Leicester City in a Championship clash that sees the second-placed Boro aiming to extend their fine run of form. With the Foxes struggling defensively, especially on the road, we predict a 2-0 home win. The Boro head into this game unbeaten in their last four, including a 0-0 draw at Oxford United, and maintain an impressive 75% home win rate, scoring 2.25 goals per game at the Riverside while keeping four clean sheets in their last four home matches. Their expected goals at home sits around 1.63, reflecting solid attacking and defensive balance.
Leicester City sit bottom of the table and are struggling for form, having lost four of their last five. The Foxes average just 0.83 points per away game and concede 1.5 goals on the road, though they tend to see high-scoring matches, with 83% of their away games featuring both teams scoring. Defender Victor Kristiansen is unlikely to feature, weakening the Foxes’ backline further.
Considering Middlesbrough's strong home form and struggling Leicester, our prediction firmly points toward Home Win, with additional value on Middlesbrough to Score First and Under 3.5 goals total (Boro defensively solid at home).
This Championship match will be played on Tuesday, 24 February 2026 at 19:45.
