Leicester vs Birmingham Prediction
Leicester Form
Leicester delivered a bit of everything as their last three matches resulted in a win, a loss and a draw. An encounter with Huddersfield brought a 2-2 draw, which was followed by a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Preston. Their most recent game had them back on the winning trail, as they beat Charlton by 0-1. Leicester won five of their last six Championship matches at King Power Stadium, scoring 14 and conceding six along the way. They lost once but didn't draw a single match.
Birmingham Form
Birmingham won twice in their last three matches as Blackburn were defeated by 1-2, before they beat Oxford 1-0. Port Vale proved too strong, though, and a 0-1 defeat followed. Birmingham only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the Championship. In these six matches they drew two and lost three as well as being outscored by seven goals to five.
The crowd usually get a very entertaining encounter, when Leicester face Birmingham, and we see no reason for this to end on Friday. The value bet lies with goals.
