Leicester vs Peterborough United Match Summary
Competition | English League One |
|---|---|
Match Date | Saturday 10 October 2026 |
Match Time | 15:00 UK time |
Venue (City, Stadium) | Leicester, King Power Stadium |
Leicester vs Peterborough United is a first League One away day for a new-look Posh side, and on paper they look badly outgunned.
Leicester only sit 14th in the table. They head in buoyant, though, having hammered Fulham's U21s in the EFL Trophy and won three of their last five in all competitions.
Peterborough sit second from bottom and have failed to win their last six League One matches. A 1-0 defeat at Stockport County during the international break offered little encouragement.
Leicester are undefeated in their last 5 home matches against Peterborough in all competitions, and the visitors should expect no warm welcome from the home crowd.
Leicester vs Peterborough United Form
Leicester are undefeated in 34 of their last 38 matches in League One, so the lowly table position looks more like a sluggish start than a side in real trouble. Liam Cullen is the man to watch, on the scoresheet twice across his last 3 League One outings, and Sammy Braybrooke keeps testing goalkeepers from midfield.
Peterborough have failed to win their last 6 matches in League One and prop up the form table, so there is a proper repair job needed. Harry Leonard is their one reliable outlet up top, getting 2+ shots away in all 8 of his recent League One appearances. He is the reason they cannot be written off in front of goal.

Leicester vs Peterborough United Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Leicester look the clear side here, and with both teams to score in play too. At 8/15 with Ladbrokes the hosts are rightly favourites and the better side by distance, but Peterborough's projected goal tally of 1.35 says there is enough threat in this Posh side to find the net at the King Power.
Best Bets
Louis Page to score at any time for Leicester in the Anytime Goalscorer market. Page was among the stand-out value plays on this fixture, starting in Leicester's probable XI against a Peterborough side that has failed to win in six League One outings and sits 23rd in the table. That combination of attacking opportunity and struggling opposition makes him too big a threat to leave out.
Both Teams To Score: Yes in Leicester vs Peterborough United. Both teams scoring is rated at 66.81%, which sits neatly with our call of a home win with a Peterborough consolation. Leicester can be got at on the counter, but this is a short price, so it works better as a building block than a standalone bet.
Leicester vs Peterborough United Bet Builder
Our Leicester vs Peterborough United bet builder tips combine three legs: a Leicester win, Emil Jakobsen to score anytime and both teams to score.
Leicester have racked up 10+ shots on target in 3 of their last 3 League One matches. Against a Peterborough defence that struggles to stop opponents creating, the home win is the anchor.
Emil Jakobsen adds an extra attacking angle. He is not in Leicester's probable XI, so this leg leans on him making an impact, but a home side creating this much should give him looks at goal.
Peterborough's Harry Leonard has found the target at least once in 6 of his last 8 league appearances, so a visiting goal fits the picture and completes the build.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 29/10 and is as short as 23/10 elsewhere.

Leicester vs Peterborough United Talking Points
Peterborough's new man in the dugout has tried to take the heat out of this one, telling his squad: "We are not going to Real Madrid or Barcelona, we are going to Leicester City, a wonderful football club with a very, very good manager." There has also been a pledge of attacking football from the new regime, which is brave against a Leicester side built on possession football and short passing through the middle. The real battle is out wide. Attacking down the wings is one of Peterborough's strengths, and defending against wide attacks is a known weakness for Leicester, so Edwards and Shofowoke getting at the full-backs looks like the visitors' best route to goal. The Leicester vs Peterborough United betting odds have Peterborough at 9/2 with Bet365, which tells you how little the market makes of their hopes, but if the wide play clicks they will cause problems.
