Leicester City vs Middlesbrough: Predictions, Betting odds, Lineups, Preview

• Fixture: Leicester City vs Middlesbrough

• Date: Tuesday, 04 November 2025

• Kick-off: 19:45 GMT

• Venue: King Power Stadium

Leicester City are coming off a rough patch, losing three out of their last five games. They'll be desperate to turn things around at home, but their attack has been misfiring lately. Middlesbrough, on the other hand, have been a bit more consistent, with two wins in their last five. They'll fancy their chances of nicking a result, especially with their recent away form.

It's going to be a tight affair, with both teams looking to exploit any weaknesses. Leicester might have the edge at home, but Middlesbrough's solid defence could keep them in the game. Expect a cagey match with chances at a premium.

Leicester City have been struggling recently, losing three of their last five games. Their home form has been particularly poor, with a loss and a draw in their last two home matches. This could affect their confidence going into this game, but they'll be eager to put things right in front of their fans.

Aaron Ramsey's absence due to injury is a blow, as he's a key midfielder. However, they still have quality players like Jordan James and Boubakary Soumaré who can step up and make a difference.

Middlesbrough have had a mixed bag of results lately, with two wins, two losses, and a draw in their last five games. Their away form has been decent, with a win and a loss in their last two away matches. This could give them confidence going into this game against a struggling Leicester side. Players such as Alan Browne and Aidan Morris will be vital in midfield. If they can keep things tight at the back, they have a good chance of getting a result.
