Leicester City‘s troubles in League One have centred on their home form, and they welcome a resilient Doncaster Rovers to a King Power Stadium that has been a problem rather than a fortress (3pm kick-off).
Anthony Eadson’s Leicester City vs Doncaster Rovers predictions, best bets and score prediction are all below.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson’s two best bets for Leicester City vs Doncaster Rovers are below, with the full predictions grid and a score prediction underneath.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Doncaster Rovers most corners | 2/1 (Betfred) | This has the makings of an even, awkward contest. Leicester are a big name struggling in the third tier, and their home form is a real worry: they have lost three of their four games at the King Power, most recently a 3-1 defeat by Peterborough. Doncaster are organised travellers who have already picked up a win and a draw on their four road trips, and they should not be overawed. As the side likely to see plenty of the ball against a nervy home crowd, Doncaster to win the corner count at 2/1 appeals. |
| The draw | 3/1 (Betfred) | Leicester’s struggles at home make them hard to trust, with three defeats in four at the King Power and only one win on their own patch all season. Doncaster, for their part, are hard to beat on the road, losing just twice in four away trips and keeping three clean sheets overall. Two sides this evenly matched, with the hosts low on confidence and the visitors happy to frustrate, point towards a share of the spoils. At 3/1, the draw is the value call in a game short on quality. |

How Leicester City go into the game
Leicester City’s season has been a chastening one, and they sit 17th after a 3-1 home defeat by Peterborough last time out. The King Power has been a problem rather than a fortress, with three defeats in their four games there.
Oddly, Leicester have been far better on their travels, where they are unbeaten, but their home struggles are the overriding concern going into this one. Emil Jakobsen, with three goals, has carried most of the attacking load.
How Doncaster Rovers go into the game
Doncaster Rovers travel to the King Power in decent order, sitting 16th but unbeaten in their last two after a 1-0 home win over Burton last time out. They have proved awkward opponents, keeping three clean sheets this season.
On the road they have a win, a draw and two defeats, and their habit of keeping games tight makes them a tricky test for a fragile home side.
Leicester City vs Doncaster Rovers head-to-head
There is no recent meeting between the clubs to lean on, with the two having spent recent years in different divisions, so current form is the better guide to Saturday’s contest.
Leicester City vs Doncaster Rovers predictions & betting tips
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doncaster Rovers most corners | 2/1 (Betfred) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Leicester’s nervy home crowd and fragile form should let Doncaster see plenty of the ball. |
| The draw | 3/1 (Betfred) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Leicester have won just once at home, and Doncaster have lost only twice on the road. |
| Both teams to score and the draw | 18/5 (bet365) | ⭐⭐ | Doncaster have scored in each of their last two, and Leicester tend to find the net at home. |
| Emil Jakobsen to score anytime | 6/4 (bet365) | ⭐⭐ | Jakobsen is Leicester’s top scorer with three goals and their main hope of a breakthrough. |
