Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

We do not expect to see a a bore-draw or a sneaky 1-0 win here, and instead we're predicting over 1.5 goals. That means that Preston and Leicester will score at least two between them during 90 minutes. It's a prediction based on each side's recent form stats, as well as past records of their head-to-head clashes. We give it a probability of 75%. Bookies have it at 1.29.

An away win looks like the most likely outcome in the win/draw/win market, with our predictive algorithm suggesting there’s a 39% chance of Leicester coming away with a win.
