Leicester City are looking to bring some order into their season and will be well inspired after their first league win. The Foxes will be at home against fellow relegated side Oxford United in a matchday five League One encounter. These two haven’t got their defences right, and our prediction here will back both scoring.
Leicester City have impressed defensively of late and were duly rewarded in a 2-0 win over Plymouth last time out. That was their second straight clean sheet and unbeaten outing.
The former Premier League champions had gone winless in four matches across all competitions, losing two.
Like their hosts, Oxford United will be pushing for a straight return to the Championship. Here they will be looking to bounce back after a 3-1 loss to Huddersfield last time out.
The U’s haven’t been able to keep a clean sheet this season and that could be a problem here. They may have failed to keep out their opponents, but Oxford haven’t failed to score in their three league matches so far.
Twice in the three matches Oxford scored two goals. They will draw their inspiration for three points here from the fact that last season they avoided defeat in this fixture. Oxford first drew 2-2 at home before beating Leicester 2-1.

Leicester City have suffered lately in this fixture. Last season, as both sides were battling for survival in the Championship, the Foxes lost at home. They were beaten 2-1, with the earlier meeting having ended 2-2.
These two sides will feel spending another season in this league is a backward step, and so they will be fighting for any available points. Such a battle means we are likely to witness goals aplenty. It is the reason our prediction for Leicester City v Oxford United is BTTS.
