Full Analysis
King Power Stadium plays host to Leicester versus Stevenage in League One, Regular Season - 14. Kick-off: Saturday 31 October 2026 at 15:00 UTC.
Form
Leicester (all games): 4W 3D 3L across 10 League One fixtures this term — 1.50 PPG. Last five: L W D L W. They are averaging 1.30 goals per game and conceding 1.50 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. This season is still relatively young for Leicester, so this record blends games from this season and last.
Leicester at King Power Stadium this season: 2W 3D 5L from 10 home games — 0.90 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 1.20 goals scored and 1.90 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture. Somewhat surprisingly, their home PPG of 0.90 lags behind their overall 1.50 — the home advantage has not translated into superior results at King Power Stadium this season.
Stevenage have collected 1.20 PPG across 10 League One outings this season: 3W 3D 4L. Last five: W W L W L. Their scoring rate of 1.20 per game is modest, conceding 1.20 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. This season is still relatively young for Stevenage, so this record blends games from this season and last.
Stevenage away from home this season: 2W 4D 4L from 10 away games — 1.00 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 0.90 goals scored and 1.30 conceded per game.
Both sides are running at similar form levels — 1.50 PPG for Leicester against 1.20 for Stevenage. There is no clear form edge to exploit here; other signals need to take the lead.
Trading
Leicester half-time and goal-timing data (55 games, 28 at home): they score before half-time in 86% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; BTTS occurs in 68% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 57% of games (home games).
Stevenage half-time and goal-timing data (55 games, 28 at away): they score before half-time in 46% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 81% of the time; BTTS occurs in 46% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 39% of games (away games).
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Leicester 71% versus Stevenage 46%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Leicester 54% | Stevenage 36%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Leicester 1.14 xG and Stevenage 1.52 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Leicester attack 0.867 / defence 1.349 | Stevenage attack 0.867 / defence 0.952. League average goals — home 1.377 / away 1.302. Data: 9 Leicester games / 55 Stevenage games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Leicester 27% | Draw 28% | Stevenage 45%. Fair-value odds: Leicester 3.70 | Draw 3.57 | Stevenage 2.22. Stevenage hold a narrow Poisson edge at 45% — the draw (28%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 50% | BTTS probability 54% | Total xG 2.66. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 50%/50% — the total xG of 2.66 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 54% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Final Verdict
Poisson rates Stevenage as the most likely outcome at 45% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 28% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Stevenage if the outright odds are short.
The Poisson model projects 2.66 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 50% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.
Poisson assigns a 54% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Leicester 70% | Stevenage 40% BTTS from recent games.
