Pre-match view

Context last updated 26 Oct 2026, 03:44 · Europe/Bucharest

Bottom-placed Wigan have no away win in six and no first-half goal in any of those games, yet Leicester have lost three of five at home.

Leicester remain the likelier winners, but 1.38 asks for more than their home form justifies. Two prices hold up: under 3.5 goals at 1.62 and, more narrowly, under 2.5 first-half goals at 1.17.

Context

Two posts published during and immediately after Leicester’s 24 October match at Luton identified J. Lundstram as the player dismissed for a second booking and said the suspension applies to Wigan. His absence removes one listed Leicester midfield option for Tuesday, requiring a selection adjustment. No official pre-match squad list was available in the researched material, so the replacement and any structural change are unconfirmed.
- On 24 October, Tom Coopey reported that Lundstram received a second yellow against Luton and would miss Wigan.
- A separate 24 October post also described Lundstram as suspended for Leicester’s next match.

This is the clearest argument for Leicester: five away defeats in six, four goals scored, and a blank before half-time in every one of those games. The counterweight is that Wigan scored in each of their last two away league matches, at Oxford United and Huddersfield, so they are not being shut out altogether. Reaching two goals in this game would still be out of character with the away sample.
- Wigan's six away League One matches between 15 August and 24 October 2026: 0 wins, 1 draw, 5 defeats.
- In those six away games they scored 4 goals and conceded 9, an average of 0.67 goals for and 1.5 against.
- First-half goals for Wigan across that away sample: 0, with 4 conceded before half-time (0.67 per game).
The home split is the weaker half of Leicester's league season, with ten goals conceded in five games at home. Their away record is notably steadier, which makes home advantage a less comfortable assumption than the 11-place gap in the table suggests. Wigan's own away return of one point from six matches is the counterweight.
- Leicester's 2026-27 League One home record in the table: 5 played, 2 won, 0 drawn, 3 lost, 6 goals for, 10 against.
- Their League One away record: 6 played, 2 won, 3 drawn, 1 lost, 11 goals for, 7 against.
- Leicester sit 13th on 15 points from 11 games; Wigan are 24th on 7 points from 11.
All three meetings date from 2013 to 2020, across the Championship and FA Cup, so they describe different teams and divisions from this League One fixture. Two finished 2-0 to Leicester, who kept a clean sheet in both. Three matches across 13 years is a thin basis, especially with Leicester having conceded ten goals in five home league games this season.
- 4 January 2020, FA Cup: Leicester 2-0 Wigan.
- 1 April 2014, Championship: Wigan 2-2 Leicester.
- 14 September 2013, Championship: Leicester 2-0 Wigan.
