Leicester to Win with Handicap (-1)
Although Leicester is not having a great season so far and they are currently just three points ahead of the relegation zone in Premier League, their quality is certainly better than their performances this season.
Meanwhile, Blackburn is on a three-game winning streak in Championship and without a loss in the last seven games in the league. Still, this will be a very tough game for them, especially with Leicester hosting the match. Our first Leicester vs Blackburn prediction is for Leicester to win the game by two or more goals.
Over 2.5 Total Goals
These two teams didn't meet in recent years, so we don't have any h2h stats to help us in make our second Leicester vs Blackburn prediction. Despite that, we expect to see three or more goals in this match.
After all, Leicester City averaged 3.25 goals per game in Premier League this season, which is the second-highest average of all teams. That being said, Blackburn averaged 2.24 goals per game in Championship, but we still believe that this game will go over 2.5 total goals.

Leicester – Blackburn Preview: News, Form and Potential Lineups
We will now take a closer look at both teams before their duel on Tuesday, including our predicted Leicester vs Blackburn lineups:
Leicester
After a solid run of three games without a loss in Premier League, Leicester City lost their last two matches in the league, albeit to Man Utd and Arsenal, two of the top three teams in the league right now. Overall, Leicester looked much better recently than they did at the start of the season and their fans are certainly hoping for even better performances in the future and potentially another deep run in the FA Cup.
Meanwhile, the Foxes are without injured James Justin, Ryan Bertrand, and Jonny Evans, while James Maddison is also unlikely to play due to an illness.
Leicester Predicted Lineup:
Iversen – Pereira, Amartey, Faes, Thomas – Soumare, Tielemans – Tete, Dewsbury-Hall, Barnes – Daka
Blackburn
The current streak without a loss in Championship for Blackburn Rovers is standing at seven games and the last three matches in the league have all been wins for the team. So, it's safe to say that Blackburn is in great form at the moment and they are currently fourth in the standings, so we might be seeing them in the playoffs this season.
When it comes to team news, Blackburn will have to manage without injured Bradley Dack, Sam Barnes, Scott Wharton, Thomas Kaminski, Adam Wharton, Clinton Mola, and Daniel Ayala.
Blackburn Predicted Lineup:
Pears – Rankin-Costello, Carter, Hyam, Brittain – Travis, Buckley – Dolan, Szmodics, Brereton Diaz – Gallagher

Player to Watch: Patson Daka
The home team is the clear favourite to win this match and we expect them to justify this tag, so our player to watch is from Leicester team and it is Patson Daka.
The Zambian forward didn't get too many starts this season in Premier League, but he still appeared in eighteen games in the league, where he managed to score three goals and add three assists. So, Blackburn will have to be wary of his abilities in this game.
