Huddersfield Town vs Leicester City Prediction and Betting Tips | August 13th 2025

Huddersfield Town will host Leicester City at the John Smith's Stadium on Wednesday in the first round of the 2025-26 EFL Cup campaign. The home side have enjoyed a strong start to their League One campaign, most recently beating Reading 2-0 to make it two wins from two and will be looking to carry that momentum into the domestic cup this week.

They faced Morecambe at this stage of the Carabao Cup last season and won 3-0 featuring first-half goals from the now-departed Jaheim Headley, Callum Marshall and Daniel Ward.

Leicester City have returned to the English Championship this season following their relegation from the top-flight last season. They locked horns with Sheffield Wednesday in their league opener on Sunday and picked up a 2-1 comeback win, finding themselves a goal down at the break before goals from Jannik Vestergaard and Wout Faes helped secure the points for the Foxes.

The visitors opened their cup campaign last season in the second round, facing Tranmere Rovers and coasting to a 4-0 victory.
