Best Tip: Leicester to win

Having examined the bookies' odds and collated statistics regarding the two sides ahead of this League Cup match, a bet on win / draw / win for Leicester to win in front of their own fans is what we would suggest. We predict they'll be too strong for Northampton, and head-to-head (H2H) records show they have done in the past. There could be some bumps along the way, but Leicester winning is the bet come Saturday afternoon.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Leicester are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 74% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 1.35.
