General match analysis
Leicester have won 3 of their last 5 matches, scoring 13 goals in the process, while Peterborough have recorded 1 win and scored 7 goals over the same period. At home, the hosts average 1 goal per match but concede 2, leaving their defense vulnerable. The visitors also concede an average of 2 goals away from home, while scoring just 0.25 and failing to find the net in 75% of those matches. Leicester create chances at home worth an average xG of 1.58, slightly higher than Peterborough’s away xG of 1.40, and register more shots on target: 4.33 compared with 3.75. Despite Leicester’s poor home form, having lost 2 of their 3 matches, Peterborough’s failure to win any of their 4 away games tips the balance in favor of the hosts.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The strongest argument for BTTS - No is Peterborough’s away scoring record: the visitors average just 0.25 goals and have failed to score in 75% of such matches. Leicester also have a modest home average of 0.75 goals and have drawn a blank in 50% of their matches, although Peterborough concede an average of 2.0 goals away from home. Peterborough’s away games have seen both teams score in 25% of cases, compared with 50% of Leicester’s home matches. Recent form offers a counterpoint: both teams recorded BTTS in 60% of their last five matches, with average xG figures of 2.10 and 1.71, respectively. Despite this improvement, Peterborough’s away scoring record suggests it is slightly more likely that at least one team will fail to score.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
In their last 5 matches, Leicester averaged 2.6 goals scored, while Peterborough conceded 1.6, giving the hosts a clear opportunity to find the net. Both teams went Over 1.5 goals in 75% of their home and away matches, although Leicester averaged just 0.75 goals and Peterborough 0.25 in those games. Caution is warranted on higher lines, as Over 2.5 goals landed in 50% of Leicester’s home matches and 25% of Peterborough’s away matches. Despite the discrepancy between these recent results and the home/away data, the 2.75-goal forecast and the consistent frequency of matches with at least two goals make Over 1.5 the strongest pick.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Leicester led at the break in 4 of their last 5 matches, scoring an average of 2.0 goals in the first half, while Peterborough led only once. The case for the hosts maintaining their advantage is also supported by their stronger recent form: 3 wins in 5 matches compared with 1 win for the visitors. Peterborough average 0.25 goals scored and 2.0 conceded away from home, while Leicester record a home xG of 1.39, compared with the 1.79 xG the visitors allow. Caution is warranted, however, as Leicester did not lead at the break in any of the 4 home matches included in the sample, making a half-time draw followed by a home win a significant alternative. Nevertheless, Leicester’s marked improvement over their last 5 appearances means I consider the hosts leading at half-time and going on to win the most likely single scenario in the HT/FT market.
