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): 2W 4D 4L across 10 League One fixtures this term — 1.00 PPG. Last five: D L D W L. They are averaging 0.80 goals per game and conceding 1.20 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Leicester have played only a handful of League One games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
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 1.10 goals scored and 1.70 conceded per game.
Stevenage have collected 1.30 PPG across 10 League One outings this season: 3W 4D 3L. Last five: D L D D W. Their scoring rate of 1.20 per game is modest, conceding 1.00 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Stevenage have played only a handful of League One games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
Stevenage away from home this season: 3W 4D 3L from 10 away games — 1.30 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 1.00 goals scored and 1.10 conceded per game. 4 clean sheets from 10 away games (40%) shows they are capable of shutting up shop on the road.
Both sides are running at similar form levels — 1.00 PPG for Leicester against 1.30 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 (51 games, 26 at home): they score before half-time in 85% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; BTTS occurs in 65% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 54% of games (home games).
Stevenage half-time and goal-timing data (51 games, 26 at away): they score before half-time in 50% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 79% of the time; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 42% of games (away games).
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Leicester 69% versus Stevenage 47%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Leicester 53% | Stevenage 37%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Leicester 0.92 xG and Stevenage 1.87 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 0.760 / defence 1.246 | Stevenage attack 1.068 / defence 0.810. League average goals — home 1.487 / away 1.404. Leicester's attack strength of 0.760 is below the league average — the 0.92 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 5 Leicester games / 51 Stevenage games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Leicester 17% | Draw 25% | Stevenage 58%. Fair-value odds: Leicester 5.88 | Draw 4.00 | Stevenage 1.72. The model has a clear lean to Stevenage (58%) — a 41pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 53% | BTTS probability 52% | Total xG 2.79. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 53%/47% — the total xG of 2.79 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 52% 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 58% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 25% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
The Poisson model projects 2.79 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 53% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.
Poisson assigns a 52% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral: Leicester 50% | Stevenage 40%.
