Huddersfield Town vs Leicester City

Huddersfield Town and Leicester City will look to build on solid starts to the season when they square off in the first round of the EFL Cup.

The Foxes often come out on top in this fixture and boast the superior quality heading into Wednesday's clash. They should have the upper hand over the League One hosts, who are a bit unconvincing at home.

Huddersfield Town News

Huddersfield Town have made a bright start to the season, winning their opening two League One matches. They began with a 3-0 home win at Leyton Orient before earning a 2-0 victory at Reading in their previous fixture.

The Terriers will look to carry that form into the EFL Cup, but have been a bit unconvincing at home lately. Prior to the win against Leyton Orient, Grant Lee’s team had suffered four straight defeats across all competitions at John Smith's Stadium.

Huddersfield Town often look solid going forward and have scored in nine of their last 10 matches across all competitions. However, they are without a clean sheet in eight of their last nine home matches in all competitions. Five of the last seven fixtures at John Smith's Stadium have also produced over 2.5 goals.

Leicester City News

Leicester City began life in the Championship on a positive note, picking up a 2-1 home victory over Sheffield Wednesday. They fought back from a goal down with second-half efforts from Jannik Vestergaard and Wout Faes earning them the win.

That result maintains a solid preseason run for Leicester City, who have won six of their last seven matches across all competitions. They have also won two of their last three away matches in all competitions.

Leicester City have no issues in attack and have scored in their last seven matches across all competitions. However, Marti Cifuentes’ team have failed to keep a clean sheet in five of those fixtures, which have all produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Leicester City have only lost once in this fixture, picking up 11 wins and two draws from 14 previous matches against Huddersfield Town. The Foxes claimed a 4-1 home victory in the last meeting back in 2024.

Verdict

Huddersfield v Leicester

Huddersfield Town and Leicester City have already shown attacking quality early in the season while being a bit unconvincing at the back. Both teams are expected to score here, with the clash set to produce over 2.5 goals.

Leicester City have a solid record in this fixture and should get the better of Huddersfield Town once again.
