Leicester vs Preston Prediction: Steer clear of Foxes at odds-on

Leicester City will continue their bid for Championship survival on Good Friday as they welcome Preston North End to the King Power Stadium (15:00 GMT, live on Sky Sports +).

The Foxes are currently 22nd in the table, having won just one of their last 14 matches, while Preston are currently in 13th having accumulated 52 points so far. Read on for my Leicester vs Preston predictions, as well as the latest team news and match odds.

Team News

Leicester's Jordan James was forced off with an Achilles problem during the international break but Foxes head coach Gary Rowett has reassured supporters that the Welsh international will be available for selection on Friday.

Bobby De Cordova-Reid and Patson Daka may have to settle for a place on the bench after their international commitments with Jamaica earlier this week.

As for the visitors, Alistair McCann is sidelined with an ankle problem, and Callum Lang is continuing his recovery from a shoulder injury.

Leicester vs Preston Odds

The hosts are 10/11 to pick up a vital three points here, giving them an implied win probability of 52.4%, the draw is 13/5 and a Preston win is available at 11/4.

Both teams to score - yes is 4/5 and over 2.5 total goals is 10/11.

Preston - Draw No Bet @ 7/4

Leicester have provided their fans with some hope by taking four points from their last three games, but they remain in relegation trouble with just seven games remaining.

The home side look too short in the betting for me here though, so I'm going to back Preston - Draw No Bet.

Preston had been in a rut, taking only one point from six games, but they produced a much-improved effort to beat Stoke City prior to the international break. The Foxes have also had more players on international duty than Friday's visitors, which could play a significant part in their performance here.

Under 2.5 goals @ 10/11

With the exception of Preston's 3-1 win over Stoke, they've struggled to score, netting just twice in the six games prior to that victory.

Similarly, Leicester's woes in front of goal have been well documented, scoring just five times in their last six outings, so Friday's showdown looks - on paper at least - to be a low-scoring affair.

Backing under 2.5 goals looks the way to go here as that's been a winning play in 68% of Leicester's home games this term and over half of Preston's away trips (53%).
