------------------------------
Huddersfield Town
Huddersfield Town, coached by Lee Grant, comes off a strong 2-0 League One win over Reading on August 9, 2025, with goals from Alfie May and Joseph Low. Their pre-season was mixed, with two wins, one draw, and three losses in six friendlies, averaging 1.2 goals scored and 1.0 goal conceded. Key players include May (2 goals this season), Low, and Herbie Kane, with a probable 4-2-3-1 lineup: Goodman; Whatmough, Low, Sorensen, Gooch; Kane, Ledson; Kasumu, May, Roosken; Miller. Huddersfield’s strengths are their defensive solidity (three clean sheets in last five games) and home support at The John Smith’s Stadium, but injuries to Jack Rudoni and doubts over Lasse Sorensen are concerns. They aim to upset Championship side Leicester, leveraging their early-season momentum.
Leicester City
Leicester City, led by Martí Cifuentes, enters after a 2-1 Championship win over Sheffield Wednesday on August 10, 2025, with goals not specified in available data. Their pre-season was strong, with three wins, one draw, and one loss in five friendlies, including a 2-0 victory over Fiorentina, averaging 1.8 goals scored and 1.0 goal conceded. Key players include Jordan Ayew, Bilal El Khannouss, and Jannik Vestergaard, with a probable 4-2-3-1 lineup: Stolarczyk; Vestergaard, Faes, Thomas, Justin; Winks, Soumaré; Mavididi, El Khannouss, Issahaku; Ayew. Leicester’s strengths are their midfield creativity and squad depth, but their focus on the Championship and potential rotation are issues. They aim to advance comfortably against League One opposition.
Head-to-Head
The sports card above details Huddersfield’s Premier League record against Leicester: W0 D1 L3, -8 goal differential (e.g., 1-1 draw in 2017, 0-3 loss in 2018).

Predicted Score: Huddersfield Town 0-1 Leicester City
Huddersfield’s May and Kane face Leicester’s Ayew and El Khannouss, with Huddersfield’s home form and defensive solidity tested by Leicester’s Championship quality. Leicester are favorites (1.91 odds, 52% win probability) over Huddersfield (4.00, 25%), with a draw at 3.60, per Soccerway and Tips.GG. Trends (Huddersfield: 33% over 2.5 goals; Leicester: 83%) and H2H suggest a tight, low-scoring game, with betting tips favoring Leicester win and under 3.5 goals (1.80 odds) and BTTS-No (1.80). Cards may be issued in the 18°C evening if Huddersfield’s combative style (5 yellows in last 5 games) escalates, per Tips.GG. The winner advances to the second round. Leicester is likely to score through Ayew, with Huddersfield struggling to convert due to Leicester’s defensive discipline. Leicester’s quality and H2H edge should secure a narrow win, though Huddersfield’s home form keeps it close.
