Match Preview
Jakub Stolarczyk is definitely the man under the spotlight tonight after the injury crisis hit the keepers. Gary Rowett is forced to trust the youngster in a match that could define their survival hopes. Honestly, with Asmir Begovic out, the defensive line must be absolutely perfect.
Jordan James remains the main threat for the hosts having netted 9 goals this season already. He currently averages 0.45 goals per 90 minutes and will likely lead the charge. Issahaku Abdul Fatawu is another key man to watch, providing 8 goals from the attacking midfield.
Relegation is a scary thought for a club like Leicester but the points deduction was brutal. Still, the fans at the King Power Stadium will be loud and demanding a reaction. It is a tough situation for Rowett, especially with Harry Souttar and Aaron Ramsey missing.
Gerhard Struber has his side playing a very disciplined 3-4-1-2 formation that usually travels quite well. They have a solid base with Eile and Borges in the back three. It is a system that allows their wing backs to get forward and cause real trouble.
Scott Twine and Anis Mehmeti have both been clinical this year with 10 goals each to their names. Mehmeti is particularly dangerous when he drifts inside, averaging 0.32 goals per 90 minutes. They will look to exploit the lack of experience in the Leicester goal tonight.
The Robins are only four points off the pace from their last five outings recently. They have a chance to push higher into the top half if results go their way. We expect them to be very competitive in our Championship Predictions for this midweek fixture.
Leicester City manager Gary Rowett faces a growing injury crisis as the club battles Championship relegation. Ahead of the crucial clash with Bristol City, Rowett confirmed that teenage winger Jeremy Monga is a doubt with a minor knock. Furthermore, goalkeeper Francisco Vieites suffered a knee injury, joining starter Asmir Begovic on the sidelines. Consequently, third-choice Jakub Stolarczyk is expected to start as the Foxes fight for survival.
Leicester City averages 6 corners per match when playing at home this season. This high number shows their tendency to attack down the wings through players like Issahaku Abdul Fatawu. Since they are fighting for survival, we expect them to push forward constantly. This aggressive approach often results in the ball being deflected out of play by desperate defenders in the box.
Bristol City contributes significantly to this total by winning 5 corners per away game on average. They also concede 4.88 corners per match when playing on the road. When you combine these statistics, the total average reaches 10.53 corners per game. With both teams needing points, the intensity should remain high, comfortably pushing the final corner count over the 8.5 line.
