Leicester vs Bristol City Prediction

Leicester host Bristol City in one of the most interesting matches of Gameweek No 8 on Saturday afternoon at King Power Stadium.

The Foxes enter the tie as one of the best teams in the league with six wins in the opening seven games of the new season.

They’ve continued their brilliant start with two impressive displays on the road after the international break.

Leicester bagged six goals in two successive away wins over the likes of Southampton and Norwich.

Kasey McAteer also continued his brilliant spell of form by taking his league tally to four goals in five appearances on Wednesday evening when he set the final score in the mentioned victory over Norwich (2-0).

The Foxes’ back line will be on a serious test on Saturday, though, given they face an in-form Bristol City team who have just put four goals past Plymouth Argyle in midweek.

Nigel Pearson’s men claimed seven out of nine possible points in the previous three league ties and they’ve lost just one of seven Championship matches since the beginning of the season.

Latest Meetings

It’s been exactly a decade since these two teams last met each other and back then they were also battling it out in the Championship.

Overall, Leicester were the more successful side with 7 wins, 7 draws, and 4 defeats in the previous 18 clashes against Bristol City.

We’ve seen three or more goals in all but one of the previous five matches between these counterparts.

The Verdict

Leicester won six of seven league games this term and they looked beyond impressive in the midweek’s win at Norwich. We have to take the 1.72 odds offered for the home win pick here.

You can get the same odds for the Over 2.5 goals FT bet which is another decent option knowing how efficient both Leicester and Bristol City have been so far in the season.
