Leicester City boasts two key advantages. Firstly, their recent attacking form has been exceptional, scoring 12 goals in their last six league matches, averaging a remarkable 2 goals per game. Secondly, they have a strong record against Derby County, remaining unbeaten in their last six official encounters with four wins and two draws. They won the first leg this season 3-1 away from home, giving them a significant psychological edge. However, Leicester City's defence is a clear weakness, having conceded in each of their last 10 league games, totaling 19 goals conceded. Further complicating matters are injury concerns, with key midfield and defensive players such as Daka, Soumare, and Winks sidelined due to injury or international duty. Despite these defensive frailties, Leicester City's strong attack and psychological advantage against Derby County make them a stronger side. Derby County faces even greater challenges. Their core issue is their depleted squad. They will be missing their key goalscorer, Morris (10 league goals), due to injury and midfielder Ward due to suspension. Despite their recent stable away performances, it will be extremely difficult to break their five-year losing streak at Leicester City's home ground. Without key attacking players, their chances of getting points away are slim. Leicester City winning at home is the more likely result.
