Bristol City vs Leicester Prediction, Betting Tips & 4/1 Bet Builder

Bristol City vs Leicester preview and betting tips for Friday’s Championship showdown from Ashton Gate.

Although Leicester might still have their sights firmly set on securing an immediate Premier League return this season, the Foxes are at the heart of a real off-field controversy and are certainly seeking a much-needed response this weekend.

Almost finding themselves sat in Championship limbo and heading into March’s international break by collecting just three points from their final five Championship appearances, Bristol City should face another stern examination here.

 

Bristol City vs Leicester Prediction

While Leicester might have come flying out of the traps when opening up the 2023/24 campaign, the Foxes certainly have the feel of a squad seeking a crucial boost. Dealing with public issues behind the scenes and with a hefty sanction now looming over them, Friday’s guests have come under some recent scrutiny. Last seen crashing out of the FA Cup as they suffered an action-packed 4-2 loss against Premier League outfit Chelsea, Leicester have also lost their spot at the top of the Championship table. Now facing what could be a real battle in their bid to clinch an immediate top-flight return, the Foxes have recorded just a pair of their previous seven appearances across all competitions.

Although Bristol City might mark their return from March’s international break holding an eight-point buffer over the drop zone, Liam Manning’s men are in the midst of a recent struggle. Heading into the fortnight interval with a routine 2-0 loss away at West Brom, Friday’s hosts have lost five of their previous six Championship appearances. With their issues underlined by a 2-1 defeat against Sheffield Wednesday on February 24th, Bristol City have also gained a reputation for their struggles at the back. In fact, the Robins have registered just a single clean sheet from any of their last 11 showdowns across all competitions – a run that stems back to January 26th.
