Leicester sit 13th in the League One on 9 points from 7 matches, having scored 9 and conceded 11. On the model's scale they rate 0.66 in attack and 1.49 in defence (1.00 = an average top-flight side, lower defence is better), against League One averages of 0.56 and 1.78: above the division's average at both ends. Across their last 5 league matches they have 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat, most recently drawing with Barnsley 1-1 away. That is 1.29 points a match, scoring 1.29 and conceding 1.57 per game across 2 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats. That leaves them 6 points behind Bradford at the top, in a table of 24. Among the 24 rated sides in the division that is the 3rd-best attack and the 4th-best defence. They scored in 3 of those 5 and kept 2 clean sheets. Next they travel to Blackpool in the League One on 3 October 2026, a match the model gives them 40%.
