Leicester City will hope to use this second attempt to secure their first League One victory in 17 years when they welcome Burton to the King Power Stadium on matchday two. Despite this being their first competitive meeting in this tournament, Leicester’s recent head-to-head advantage is clear, with three consecutive victories and a minimum of two goals in every match, pointing our prediction towards a Leicester win and over 1.5 goals.
Leicester City have been relegated in two successive seasons and now find themselves in League One for the first time since the 2008-09 season.
The 2016 Premier League champions finished in the bottom two of the 2025-26 Championship season and were relegated alongside Oxford United and Sheffield Wednesday.
The Foxes' return to League One was met with mixed emotions as they failed to get off to a winning start against Notts County. They were held to a 1-1 draw on the road. This follows a 1-0 home win against Northampton in the first round of the EFL Cup.
Burton, meanwhile, concluded the previous 2025-26 season sitting in 17th place with 54 points amassed. The current campaign marks their ninth consecutive season in the third tier.
The Brewers began their League One campaign with a 1-1 home draw against Stevenage. Before this was a heartbreaking 2-1 home defeat against Blackburn in the first round of the EFL Cup.

Our Leicester vs Burton Albion Prediction
Leicester City have the advantage of playing at home and enter this clash in rather encouraging form. The hosts have been a force to be reckoned with in this fixture having won their last three consecutive competitive meetings.
During that period, they averaged 2.3 goals per game. A comfortable win is undoubtedly on the cards against a Burton side low in confidence after failing to win their last two competitive matches this season. Our Leicester City vs Burton prediction: Leicester City wins and over 1.5 goals.
