The most delicious surprises of the week’s regular round can be found in items 4 and 5. In these, you can smell problems in the FA Cup for the Championship’s toughest home teams, Leicester and Leeds. Already from the start, the absolute main goal of the season for both Leicester and Leeds is to climb back to the Premier League. Both of these FA Cup games may be at the level of lower stakes, and the recycling wouldn’t come as huge surprises either. What makes the matches interesting in terms of gameplay is that bettors really rely on the strong home balances of both name teams. Leicester’s season home balance in the Championship is the second best 11-1-2 in the series, goals 28–8, and Leeds’ best 11-4-0, goals 32–11. In the Cup, the home advantage is not necessarily the same class, even if the opponents are from the same league this time.
