They have also drawn with Southend (1-1) and won another match against AFC Fylde (3-2). Overall, Woking averages 1.8 goals scored while conceding 1.2 per game.

Leicester City U21

Key factors
Key factors to consider include Woking’s robust home record and their recent scoring form, contrasted with Leicester City U21's struggles in away fixtures. Woking appears more dynamic in their attacking play, while Leicester must address their defensive frailties to avoid being overwhelmed. Set-pieces and tactical adaptability may play significant roles today, particularly for Woking, who have shown to capitalize well on home advantage. Leicester will need to stress their young dynamic talents to counter Woking's energy.
Prediction
Given the recent performances, Woking emerges as the clear frontrunner. Their balanced attack and moderate expected goals reflect their ability to find the back of the net more effectively than Leicester’s underwhelming statistics indicate. Leicester's shaky defense continues to be a cause for concern and will likely be tested against an in-form Woking. Anticipating elevated chances due to playing at home, Woking is expected to secure a win based on current data trends and match dynamics.
Overall, with the combination of home advantage, superior recent form, and defensive vulnerabilities affecting Leicester, Woking is well-positioned to achieve a victory in this upcoming National League Cup clash.
