Team News
Wrexham come off a 2-1 home defeat to Norwich, snapping a five-match winning run across competitions and ending a long unbeaten home streak in the league. Their home form remains a strength, with high-scoring games (46 goals at the Racecourse this season) and recent entertainment value. Injuries include Aaron James, Andy Cannon, and Danny Ward out, but key striker Kieffer Moore (10 goals this campaign) returned recently and should lead the line—his presence boosts their attack significantly. Phil Parkinson's side will rely on physicality, set pieces, and home crowd energy in a likely 4-2-3-1 or similar, with players like Sam Smith (recent scoring form) and others providing threat.
Leicester are winless in their last four away Championship games (three defeats), highlighting road vulnerabilities despite solid goal output overall (38 scored). Recent results show inconsistency, including a 2-1 loss at Coventry. Injuries hit: Aaron Ramsey (hamstring), Harry Souttar (Achilles), and possibly others limit options. Expect a competitive lineup with Abdul Fatawu, Stephy Mavididi, and Jordan Ayew in attack, midfield control from players like Jordan James or Jamie Vardy if fit, but defensive issues persist without key men. Their away form makes them cautious, focusing on counters rather than dominance.
Head to Head Analysis
These sides met for the first time in over 40 years earlier this season, drawing 1-1 at the King Power Stadium. Historically, Leicester hold the edge in older Football League meetings—Wrexham are winless in seven against them (four draws, three losses), scoring just twice total, with Leicester never conceding on previous visits to Wrexham (including a 0-0 in 1982). Recent encounters suggest tight, low-event games, but Wrexham's current momentum and home strength contrast Leicester's poor away record. Expect a physical, competitive scrap—Wrexham pushing forward with crowd support, Leicester sitting deeper to frustrate and exploit transitions. Goals have been frequent in Wrexham's home games lately, while Leicester contribute to open contests.
Prediction
Wrexham's superior league position, strong home record, and Moore's return give them real belief in bouncing back from the Norwich loss—the Racecourse crowd could make this tough for visitors. Leicester's quality and attacking options (despite injuries) mean they won't roll over, but their dismal away form (few wins, heavy concessions) and midweek struggles point to vulnerability. This looks like a high-energy, goal-filled affair—Wrexham to capitalize on momentum and edge it narrowly, though a share of points isn't out of the question.
Final Prediction: Wrexham win 2-1 (or 2-2 draw as fallback). Hosts to claim the points at home—around 60% confidence in a Wrexham victory, with over 2.5 goals likely given recent trends and both sides' scoring form.
