Best Tip: Leicester to win

A League One victory in front of their own fans for Russell Martin's Leicester side win in the win / draw / win market is what we're predicting. Statistics suggest they have what it takes, and they should have too much for the opposition. The odds from the bookies are pointing in the same direction, and when that happens you've know you're not going against the market. A Leicester win is our recommendation, even if a tight match is possible.
