Leicester vs Walsall prediction 10.11.2026 | EFL Trophy

Leicester have completely fallen apart in the last couple of seasons. Now, they are only a mid-table League One team, hoping to secure promotion. Leicester are only three points behind the playoffs, and every point could prove crucial. In the EFL Trophy, the Foxes have three points from two rounds and need at least a draw on Tuesday for the next phase. Leicester have played well lately, with two wins in their last three matches. In the previous game, they won 4-2 on the road in the FA Cup against Oxford City.

Leicester's boss, Russell Martin, was relieved after his team avoided a FA Cup first-round upset. However, he wasn't fully satisfied. The manager commented, "I'm annoyed we conceded two goals; it's my job to be annoyed about that. I thought we played some really good football. After we scored, we took our foot off the gas a little bit."

Leicester have some problems with missing players. They will be without Jakub Stolarczyk, Ben Nelson, and Jayden Joseph on Tuesday in the EFL Trophy.

Walsall are one of the best League Two teams this season. They are third after 13 rounds, and it will not be a surprise if they fight for the promotion spot for the rest of the campaign. However, Lee Grant's team hasn't been at their best recently, with two defeats in their last three matches. In the most recent outing, Walsall lost 3-1 on the road in the FA Cup against Newport. The teams were pretty even for most of the game, but the hosts' much better efficiency made the difference.

Walsall's manager, Lee Grant, was disappointed after his team was knocked out in the FA Cup. He commented,  "Having the start we had, to go 1-0 up, and then to find yourself 2-1 down, but still feel like there's lots of opportunity for you in the game and create probably the three best clear-cut chances in the first half. (We) should've scored, but didn't, and then again, if you're going to concede a bad goal in the second half, where we have two opportunities to clear and don't, you're going to give yourself a huge mountain to climb."

Walsall will be without injured Harry Williams, Alex Pattison and Anthony Evans on Thursday in Leicester, while Mason Hancock and Roman Dixon are questionable, and their status will get clearer closer to the kickoff.
