Notts County will be looking to make a strong start to their League One campaign when they welcome Leicester City to Meadow Lane. However, we predict a 2-0 away win as Leicester are a more experience side than Notts County. The Magpies have struggled for consistency in pre-season, winning only 40% of their last 10 matches in all competitions, while they were also beaten by Burnley on penalties in their EFL Cup opener. Notts County have scored 1.2 goals per game across that run, but their home record is slightly stronger, with 1.6 goals per match. Acquah and Grant are both pushing for a starting berth as the hosts look to cause an upset.
Leicester, meanwhile, are among the favourites for promotion as they aim to make a quick return to the Championship. The Foxes defeated Northampton in their EFL Cup opener and have lost only once in their last seven matches. They have also been more reliable defensively, conceding just 0.9 goals per game across their last 10 outings. Summer signing Admir Bristric and Wes Burns are expected to feature, while Abdul Fatawu has departed for Ipswich.
Leicester look stronger on paper and have the better defensive numbers. Therefore, Away Win is our main betting tip for this League One matchup, alongside Leicester Over 1.5 and Leicester to Score First.
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 15 August 2026 at 12:30.
