Bristol City vs Leicester prediction and betting tips on March 29, 2024
The Saturday matchday in the 39th round of the Championship will kick off in Bristol, where the local Bristol City will face Leicester at the Ashton Gate Stadium. Here's the forecast for this match from the Dailysports team.
Bristol City
At the onset of the season, the "Robins" briefly occupied a position in the upper echelons of the league table. However, earnestly contending for a Premier League spot proved elusive for Bristol City. Currently, Liam Manning's squad occupies the 14th position in the league standings, accruing 47 points after 38 rounds. While this tally suffices to avoid relegation concerns, aspirations of promotion remain far-fetched. In their last five matches, the "Robins" suffered defeat on four occasions, including a recent away loss to West Bromwich Albion by a score of 0-2.
Leicester
For a considerable duration, the "Foxes" confidently led the Championship, seemingly destined for promotion. However, a string of decidedly unfortunate matches in February saw Leicester relinquish their lead to Leeds. Presently, the "Foxes" trail only on goal difference. Nonetheless, it's worth noting that Ipswich, under the management of Enzo Maresca, is gaining momentum, trailing Leicester by a mere point. Another stumble could see the "Foxes" slip to third place. In their last outing, Leicester played to a 2-2 draw away at Hull City.
