Leicester City vs Birmingham City

Leicester City host Birmingham City in an English Championship fixture, with both teams looking to build on solid starts to the season.

The visitors are unbeaten this season but could be in for a tough time against the Foxes, who often do their best work at home. Both teams look sharp going forward and could be set to produce goals here.

Leicester City News

Leicester City come into this clash off the back of a 1-0 victory at Charlton in their previous Championship fixture. They were made to work hard for the win, with Issahaku Fatawu’s effort just after the break proving the difference.

That result maintains a fine start to the season for Leicester City, who have won two of their three Championship matches so far. They have only played one home game this season, earning a 2-1 victory over Sheffield Wednesday on the opening weekend.

Leicester City have quality going forward and have found the net in their last 10 matches across all competitions, scoring the opener in two of their three league fixtures this season. However, Marti Cifuentes' team are without a clean sheet in seven of those matches, all of which have produced over 2.5 goals.

Birmingham City News

Birmingham City have settled quickly after gaining promotion and are holding their own so far. Chris Davies’ team are unbeaten in the league this season, having picked up two wins and a draw in their opening three matches.

The Blues picked up a 1-0 home victory over Oxford United in their previous fixture. However, they followed up that result with a 1-0 defeat to League One side Port Vale in the second round of the EFL Cup.

That defeat to Port Vale is the first blank fixture of the season for Birmingham City, who had scored in their previous four matches across all competitions. However, they are without a clean sheet in four of their last five matches, while their last two away fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Leicester City have 10 wins while Birmingham City have been victorious four times, with three draws from the last 17 matches. The most recent meeting was a Championship clash in 2024, which ended 2-1 in favour of the hosts.

Verdict

Leicester v Birmingham

The last three matches between Leicester City and Birmingham have produced over 2.5 goals. Both teams have scored in two of those fixtures, and Friday's clash could be set to produce a similar outcome.

Leicester City will be keen to put on a show in front of the home fans, and having struck first in two of their three Championship matches, should score the opening goal here.
