Leicester will take on Wrexham in the Championship on Tuesday, 30 September, in a match between two of the most popular teams in the division.
Leicester are going along nicely this season, and are very much in the mix for promotion, barring any potential point deductions that may be coming their way.
Wrexham, meanwhile, don't currently look like a team that will secure their fourth promotion in as many years, but anything is still possible at this stage of the season.

Leicester vs Wrexham prediction: Dragons to avoid defeat.
Key Stats
- Leicester have failed to win each of their last three Championship matches.
- Wrexham are unbeaten across their last three away matches.
- Fewer than three goals have been scored in four of Leicester's last five matches.
Correct score prediction: Leicester 1-1 Wrexham
Neither of these two teams have been in the habit of losing games recently, but the Foxes' recent inability to get over the line in matches means that a buoyed Wrexham side should be able to walk away with at least a point on Tuesday night.
Pre-game odds and win probability: The hosts go in as favourites
- HOME: 8/11 (1.73) – 57.9%
- DRAW: 14/5 (3.80) – 26.3%
- AWAY: 18/5 (4.60) – 21.7%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
The Leicester vs Wrexham odds are weighted in favour of the hosts, but this is perhaps disrespectful towards a side that has won each of their two most recent Championship away matches. Ladbrokes have given Leicester a 57.9% chance of winning the match, while Wrexham have been given just a 21.7% chance of victory.

Most recent H2Hs: A first meeting in 44 years
This will be the first time that Leicester and Wrexham have played each other since 1982, due to the Welsh club spending so much time in the lower echelons of English football. If the Dragons can overcome the Foxes on Tuesday, it will be their first-ever league triumph over them.
Leicester preview: Ramsey to complete his suspension
The match against Wrexham will mark the final match of Aaron Ramsey's suspension following a red card a couple of weeks ago, while the Foxes will also be without Ben Nelson and Harry Souttar through injury. Changes may be required to freshen up the squad after three draws in a row.

Player to watch: Kieffer Moore
Kieffer Moore had an excellent start to the season, scoring six goals in his first eight appearances for club and country. The Welshman has since tailed off slightly but will be keen to get among the goals quickly, particularly as Wrexham are now pushing higher up the table.
