Leicester returned to the Premier League, and it is clear that avoiding relegation will be the main goal for Steve Cooper's side. They have a terrible start to the 2024/25 season, with only one point from the first two league matches. After a solid one point in the game against Tottenham, Leicester traveled to Craven Cottage, where the Foxes lost 2-1. The guests played well in the first half, but the home side was better in the second 45 minutes, so Leicester stayed empty-handed.
The current season is Tranmere's fifth in a row in League Two. We shouldn't expect much different year for the team from Wirral Peninsula than the last few as they are probably a mid-table team in their division. Tranmere have a solid start to the 2024/25 season, with only one defeat in five matches in all competitions. In the previous game, Tranmere won 1-0 at home against Walsall. The home side was fortunate to win all three points as the guests missed a penalty and were a better side throughout the game.
Leicester vs Tranmere pick: Under 3.5 goals
It seems that Leicester have some problem with scoring goals, as they scored only two goals in the last five matches, including the preseason. On the other hand, Tranmere allowed only three goals in the previous five games. Under 3.5 goals should be the best option for this tie.

Of course, you want to see the beautiful game getting played, but sometimes you have to roll your sleeves up and show passion and competitiveness, and we saw that in abundance today."
