Premium Tips
Two Premium Tips for Leicester City vs Wigan Athletic, with Anthony Eadson backing a comfortable home win.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Leicester City to win to nil | 13/8 (bet365) | Wigan Athletic’s toothless away form makes a Leicester City shut-out a strong play at 13/8. The visitors sit bottom of League One, have failed to score in six of their 11 games and have lost five of six on the road, where they are yet to win. Leicester have had their own wobbles at home, but they have kept three clean sheets and carry far too much quality for a Wigan side low on confidence and goals. The Foxes keeping it tight at one end while winning at the other looks the value play. |
| Wigan Athletic to have most corners | 13/5 (Betfred) | Leicester City should win, but they have not dominated the corner count, and Wigan Athletic winning it is an outlier at 13/5. The Foxes have won the corner count in just two of their five home games, losing it 9-5 to Plymouth Argyle and 7-6 to Doncaster Rovers, and in only five of their 11 league games overall. Wigan won it on their travels at AFC Wimbledon (9-5) and Stevenage (7-2). Betfred’s 13/5 on the visitors forcing more corners rewards that pattern. |

How Leicester City go into the game
Leicester City go into this 13th in League One on 15 points, with four wins, three draws and four defeats. They have scored 17 and conceded 17, a middling return for a side many expected to be challenging at the top.
The Foxes come in off a 2-1 defeat at Luton Town and, oddly, have been better on the road than at home, where they have won two but lost three of five. They will be desperate to put that right against the division’s bottom side.
How Wigan Athletic go into the game
Wigan Athletic are bottom of League One on seven points, with two wins, one draw and eight defeats. They have scored just eight goals and failed to score in six of their 11 games, a major problem heading into this one.
The Latics are at their worst on the road, where they have lost five of six and are yet to win, scoring sparingly. They come in off a 2-1 defeat at Huddersfield Town, and a trip to Leicester is a daunting one for a side short on confidence.
Leicester City vs Wigan Athletic head-to-head
| Date | Home | Score | Away |
|---|---|---|---|
| 04/01/20 | Leicester City | 2-0 | Wigan Athletic |
There is little recent history between these clubs, who last met in the FA Cup back in January 2020, a game Leicester City won 2-0. With the sides having spent recent years in different divisions, current form is a far better guide than the head-to-head here.
Leicester City vs Wigan Athletic predictions & betting tips
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leicester City to win to nil | 13/8 (bet365) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Wigan have failed to score in six of 11 and are winless away. |
| Wigan Athletic to have most corners | 13/5 (Betfred) | ⭐⭐ | Leicester have won the corner count in only two of five home games. |
| Leicester City to win | 2/5 (Ladbrokes) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | The Foxes have the quality to beat the division’s bottom side, who are yet to win away. |
| Both teams to score – No | 5/4 (Sky Bet) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Wigan have failed to score in six of 11 games and Leicester have three clean sheets. |
| Under 2.5 goals | 9/5 (Sky Bet) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Wigan’s blunt attack points to a low-scoring, one-sided evening. |
| Leicester City 2-0 Wigan Athletic | 15/2 (Betfred) | ⭐⭐⭐ | A comfortable home win to nil fits Wigan’s lack of a goal threat on the road. |
Leicester City vs Wigan Athletic score prediction
