20:00 Friday

Leicester and Birmingham kick off this weekend’s football at the King Power Stadium. Both sides have made encouraging starts to the Championship season and will be looking to build momentum.

Leicester vs Birmingham Prediction

  • Abdul Fatawu’s spectacular strike proved decisive last Saturday as Leicester edged past newly promoted Charlton. Marti Cifuentes will be hoping for movement in the transfer market after losing James Justin, but two wins from three represent a solid start.
  • Birmingham were wasteful in front of goal against Oxford United, registering just one shot on target from 16 attempts. However, Paik Seung-Ho’s goal was enough to secure victory, and Chris Davies’ side remain unbeaten with seven points from three games.

Score Prediction: Leicester 1-2 Birmingham
