Bristol City vs Leicester Prediction
Robins Ready To Soar Above Foxes
Preview
Right then, let's have a proper look at this Tuesday night tussle down at Bristol City. The Robins are sitting pretty in 7th, just two points ahead of these Foxes who've been a bit hit and miss this season.
Bristol City have been decent at home this term, winning 60% of their matches on their own patch and only letting in 0.6 goals per game. They kept a clean sheet in that 3-0 hammering of Swansea not too long ago, and they know how to shut up shop when they need to. Their recent form's been a bit up and down mind you - they lost 0-1 to Millwall in their last game but did the business away at Portsmouth before that.
Leicester, well, they've been leaking goals all over the show away from home. One point six goals conceded per away game is proper dodgy, and get this - they haven't kept a single clean sheet in their last 10 matches! Not one! They did put three past Derby in their last game, but they also shipped one, and they've been conceding for fun on their travels.
The head-to-head tells a story too - Bristol City have won two out of three at home against Leicester, including a 1-0 win last time they met. Leicester just can't seem to get it right at Bristol's place.
When you look at the numbers, Bristol City are solid at the back at home, while Leicester are about as sturdy as a chocolate teapot defensively on the road. The Robins have kept four clean sheets in their last 10, while Leicester's defence has been about as useful as a paper umbrella.
Both teams are pretty close in the table, but Bristol City's home form and Leicester's defensive nightmares away from home make this look like a home win to me. The odds of 2.30 for a home win look decent value given what we're seeing here.
