Leg-by-leg breakdown

Leicester to win
Leicester are heavy favourites despite their concerning home form, facing a Northampton side who have lost ten consecutive games with zero momentum. Whilst Leicester have won zero of their last five at home, they are generating 2.01 expected goals per game at the King Power and maintaining 59 percent possession, suggesting the underlying performance merits victory against League One opposition.
Bookmaker-implied chance80%1.25 - 1.38 - 2Over/Under Goals
Over 2.5 Goals
Leicester are averaging 28 shots per game at home with 10 on target, whilst Northampton are conceding 2.6 goals per game on their away travels. The combination of Leicester's attacking output and Northampton's vulnerability should comfortably eclipse 2.5 goals, particularly given Leicester's xG generation of 2.01 at the King Power.

Both Teams to Score - Yes
Leicester have recorded an 80 percent both teams to score rate at home across their last five games, with goals conceded in all five matches despite their defensive xG of just 0.41. Northampton, despite their poor form, have conceded 13 goals across five away matches and scored three, suggesting they will likely breach Leicester's defence whilst conceding multiple goals themselves.
