Leicester vs Wrexham Prediction: Foxes can rediscover the winning thread

Leicester City have gone unbeaten in their last five to work their way into the Championship play-off places and can boost their top-six hopes by beating Wrexham at home on Tuesday (19:45 BST, Sky Sports+). The Foxes drew for the third straight game in tying 1-1 at West Brom on Friday, while the Red Dragons also played out a 1-1 draw, at home to Derby on Saturday.

The Welsh club sit 15th in the second-tier standings, 10 places but only four points adrift of Tuesday's hosts, but can go close, having won their last three away games in all competitions. However, City are unbeaten at home this season and can end their recent run of stalemates with a victory.

Leicester vs Wrexham Odds

Hosts Leicester are the 7/10 favourites to win on Tuesday, with Wrexham 4/1 for a third win in four Championship away games.

The draw is 11/4, with a repeat of both teams' last-time-out scoreline of 1-1 available at 13/2.

Leicester to win and both teams to score @ 12/5

After again swapping divisions, Leicester are becoming a real yo-yo club.

Summer appointment Marti Cifuentes is still working on addressing their defensive shortcomings, although they have kept successive home clean sheets against Birmingham and Coventry.

The Foxes have conceded first in five of their seven league outings, but keep getting points, most recently in Friday's 1-1 at West Brom, where Baggies defender Nat Phillips put through his own goal in stoppage time after Samuel Illing-Junior had put the hosts ahead.

Meanwhile, Lewis O'Brien put Wrexham ahead before Ben Brereton-Diaz equalised to grab Derby a point at the Racecourse Ground on Saturday.

Phil Parkinson's side won the shot count 10-5 and are creating chances, so can score at the King Power.

However, Leicester look the better team and could even end the evening in the automatic promotion spots.

Kieffer Moore anytime scorer @ 5/2

With Wrexham set to test the home side in defeat, it is worth backing Kieffer Moore to get on the scoresheet.

The Wales international, now 33, remains effective and has scored six goals in nine appearances for club and country this season.

Leicester's central defensive duo of Jannik Vestergaard and Wout Faes might be tall, but have never convinced when defending balls into the box as a pairing.

Moore's nous and sheer size mean he could nick one at a decent price.
