Leicester vs Burton Prediction and Betting Tips 22 August 2026

Leicester will be looking to secure their first League One victory of the season when they face Burton Albion. The Foxes opened their campaign with a 1-1 draw against Notts County and were fortunate to avoid defeat, with the Magpies recording 2.28 xG. Leicester have won 40% of their last 10 matches and have kept clean sheets in four of those games. There are no fresh injury concerns, while Watson and Choudhury are pushing for starting roles.

Burton, meanwhile, also shared the spoils in their opener, drawing 1-1 with Stevenage. The Brewers have lost only two of their last 10 matches but have struggled on the road, winning none of their previous four away games. Will Collar is doubtful for the trip, which will be a major test against one of the promotion favourites.

Leicester have won three of their four previous H2H meetings and are stronger at home. Given the number of high-profile players in the home team, we are tempted to bet on Leicester Win, alongside Home Win Over 1.5 and Over 1.5 goals.

This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 22 August 2026 at 15:00.
