Leicester vs Norwich Prediction & Betting Tips (28 February)

Leicester welcome Norwich to the King Power Stadium in a Championship clash that feels pivotal for both sides’ seasons. In the last couple of months, the Foxes have struggled to turn performances into wins, highlighted by their recent draw away at Stoke, where they shared the points in a tense 2-2. Before that, home fans endured a chaotic defeat to Southampton, a wild contest that finished 3-4. Jordan James has emerged as Leicester’s key attacking threat, leading their scoring charts, but defensive lapses have repeatedly undermined their efforts.

Norwich arrive with a more mixed but still encouraging recent run, combining convincing wins with the occasional setback. Over the past weeks they produced a statement away victory at West Brom, running out emphatic winners by 5-0, underlining their ability to punish opponents on the break. However, their most recent outing brought a disappointing home defeat to Birmingham, where they slipped to a narrow 2-1 loss despite periods of pressure. Jovon Makama continues to be a focal point in attack, and Norwich’s away form, including a strong win at Oxford earlier in February, keeps them firmly in the conversation for a late-season surge.

Head-to-head history tilts slightly toward Leicester in recent seasons, and that narrative still matters in the build-up. The Foxes have beaten Norwich in their last two league meetings, including a 2-1 away success at Carrow Road in November 2025 and a 3-1 home win at the King Power in April 2024. Recent weeks, though, tell a more complicated story: Leicester’s run has featured defeats against Oxford, Charlton and Birmingham, while Norwich have alternated between solid wins over Coventry and Blackburn and a narrow loss at Middlesbrough. Both teams therefore come into this fixture with reasons for optimism but also clear vulnerabilities.

When you put all of that together—the Foxes’ need to respond in front of their own supporters, Norwich’s confidence from big away wins, and the historical edge Leicester hold at home—the stage is set for a tight, attacking contest. Leicester’s individual quality in forward areas should create enough chances, yet Norwich’s recent scoring record suggests they will not leave empty-handed. Balancing Leicester’s home advantage with Norwich’s threat on the counter, the most realistic outcome points toward a narrow home victory, with a predicted correct score of 2
