Leicester City host Wigan Athletic in League One, with the home side sitting 13th on 15 points from 11 matches, while the visitors are stuck at the bottom in 24th with just 7 points from the same number of games. Both sides lost their most recent match: Leicester City went down 1-2, and Wigan Athletic also lost 1-2. This game is therefore one where both teams need to get back to picking up points. Leicester City have scored 17 and conceded 17 in 11 matches this season. Their style is a team that dominates possession at 65.1% over their last 10 matches and hits the target 6.3 times per game, but their defence still shows gaps frequently. Wigan Athletic are clearly different: they average only 50.7% possession, hit the target just 3.1 times per game, and have scored only 8 goals across their 11 matches. Their attack is therefore unlikely to put much pressure on the home side. If Leicester City can dominate the ball and push the game high up the pitch as they have often done, the match is likely to be played mostly in Wigan Athletic's half. In the first half, the home side have scored in each of their last 7 home matches and have tended to take the lead before half-time. In the second half, the game may open up more as the visitors are forced to push, but the overall pattern should still be the home side controlling the tempo and creating more chances.
