Cheltenham vs Leicester Prediction and Betting Tips 10 January 2026

Cheltenham are high on confidence following a commanding 3-0 win over Crawley. Given Leicester's ups and downs on the road, we predict a 2-2 draw in Saturday's FA Cup clash. At home the Robins been particularly competitive, averaging 2.33 goals scored per game and collecting 2.17 points per match at Whaddon Road. Their balanced metrics — expected goals 1.41 and xGA 1.38 at home — highlight a side that rarely gets outplayed and generally keeps games tight.

Leicester, meanwhile, continue to blow hot and cold. Their form reads LLWLW, and while they score freely (an impressive 3.80 average goals per game overall), defensive fragility remains a major issue. They’ve kept 0 clean sheets all season, and their away numbers are concerning: just 0.80 points per game, conceding 2.60 goals per match. Issahaku Fatawu remains their standout threat, scoring the decisive goal in the 2-1 victory over West Brom and drawing Premier League attention with his pace and flair.

With Cheltenham’s stability and Leicester’s chaotic match profile, this could evolve into a highly open FA Cup tie where momentum swings are likely. As Leicester hit 90% BTTS overall, 100% away, this betting option should definitely be considered. Additionally Over 2.5 goals and Over 3.5 goals markets seem appealing.

This FA Cup match will be played on Saturday 10 January 2026 at 12:15.
