One of the fixtures in the upcoming round of the English League Cup will take place on Tuesday at King Power Stadium, where Leicester City will host Tranmere Rovers. Here’s a prediction for the match from the Dailysports expert team.
Leicester City
Leicester City, who recently conquered the heights of the Premier League, found themselves relegated to the Championship following a challenging 2022/23 season. However, their stay in the lower division was brief, as they secured an immediate return to the Premier League by winning the Championship at their first attempt.
Leicester dispelled any doubts about their readiness for the new Premier League season by showing a fighting spirit in their first match, drawing 2-2 at home against Tottenham. Unfortunately, they were unable to collect points in their most recent game, losing 1-2 away to Fulham.
Tranmere Rovers
The "Superwhites" are a solid mid-table team in the Second League, rarely threatened by relegation or involved in the promotion battle. Last season, Tranmere Rovers finished 16th, 15 points clear of the relegation zone.
In the current season, Tranmere has yet to lose a match in the Second League. They recently secured their first win, defeating Walsall 1-0 at home. Prior to that, they had drawn with Notts County (0-0) and Port Vale (0-0). In the previous round of the League Cup, Tranmere Rovers comfortably beat Accrington 3-0.
