Premium Tips

Andy is with Leicester, who look far too strong for this level.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Leicester to win and over 2.5 goals6/4Leicester arrive off a clean 2-0 home win over Plymouth and are unbeaten in three League One outings, so there is a platform at the King Power. The goals angle leans mostly on Oxford, whose three league games this term have all cleared 2.5 (3-1, 1-2 and 2-2), and both recent meetings between these sides also went over.
Emil Riis and Liam Cullen to score anytime8/1On reputation Emil Riis is a proven goal threat, with 45 goals across his Preston career and 12 more at Bristol City, and Liam Cullen gives Leicester another forward option at home. Honesty note: this is comfortably the weaker of the two tips and the data urges caution. Riis has no League One appearances logged for Leicester this season, so his fitness and involvement are unproven, while Cullen has yet to score in four outings, managing just one shot on target across 164 minutes as a rotation player. Backing both to net is hope over hard evidence, so treat it as a long shot rather than a confident call.

How Leicester go into the game

Leicester won 2-0 against Plymouth last time out, a comfortable home win. The King Power expects a promotion charge.

Loaded with quality after relegation, Leicester are among the title favourites. Three points is the minimum aim.

How Oxford go into the game

Oxford were beaten 3-1 at Huddersfield last time out, a tough afternoon. They travel to the King Power needing a response.

Well-drilled but outgunned here, Oxford will hope to frustrate the Foxes. A point would be a fine result.
