Leicester host Stevenage in League One on Saturday afternoon, and the Leicester vs Stevenage betting odds make the hosts clear favourites at 4/6 with Ladbrokes.
Russell Martin's side thumped Wigan 3-0 on Tuesday night, with Emil Riis bagging a brace, and that made it three wins from their last four league outings.
Alex Revell's Stevenage are heading the other way. A narrow home defeat to MK Dons made it three losses from their last five League One matches.

Leicester vs Stevenage Form
Leicester have won 5 of their last 10 matches against all opponents, so this has not been a flawless campaign, but the recent upturn is real. Their attack is the selling point. They thrive on through balls and long-range efforts, finish well and get at teams down the wings, with Riis the focal point up top.
Stevenage have won 4 of their last 10 against all opponents, and the mood has dipped after that MK Dons setback. Their game is direct, with long balls aimed at Josh Magennis and a lean towards the right flank. They are strong in the air and defend set pieces well, which makes them stubborn opponents even when out of form.

Leicester vs Stevenage Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Leicester 2-1 Stevenage. Our Leicester vs Stevenage prediction sides with the hosts, priced at 4/6 with Ladbrokes, because their creativity and Riis's finishing look too much for the visitors. Stevenage's direct approach can still hurt a Leicester back line that struggles in the air, so do not expect a clean sheet.
Best Bets
Over 2.5 goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. The numbers point to around 3 goals at the King Power. The first of our Leicester vs Stevenage best bets rests on a simple trend: every one of Leicester's last five League One games has cleared this line. With the hosts playing on the front foot and Stevenage happy to go long, an open, messy afternoon looks on the cards.
Both teams to score: Yes, in the Both Teams To Score market. Stevenage's long-ball threat should find a way past a Leicester defence with several weaknesses. Leicester rate poorly for defending counter-attacks and for stopping opponents carving them open, which is exactly the door Stevenage like to knock on. With Magennis attacking the ball against a defence that is shaky in the air, the visitors can get on the scoresheet even if they end up beaten.
Leicester vs Stevenage Bet Builder
Our Leicester vs Stevenage bet builder tips pair a corners line with John Lundstram to score anytime and over 2.5 goals, in a punchy treble built around the hosts.

John Lundstram Anytime Goalscorer: Back from suspension, the midfielder has landed this bet in 2 of his last 3, and he steps straight into a side that creates plenty.
Over 2.5 Total Goals: Leicester's last five League One outings have all topped this mark, and Stevenage's direct style should keep things end to end.

Leicester vs Stevenage Talking Points
This is Leicester's annual Remembrance fixture, with formal tributes around the King Power Stadium, but on the pitch the big question is whether the hosts can cope with Stevenage in the air. Aerial duels are a weakness for Leicester and a strength for the visitors, whose long-ball game is built to target exactly that soft spot. The Foxes do have goals in them beyond Riis, though, with Bobby De Cordova-Reid converting a late penalty to complete the Wigan win.
