Bristol City vs Leicester City Prediction and Betting Tips

Action continues in round 20 of the EFL Championship as Bristol City play host to Leicester City at the Ashton Gate Stadium on Wednesday. Both sides head into the midweek tie off the back of contrasting results, with the Foxes securing a comfortable victory away to Derby County.

Bristol City failed to move into the playoff places last weekend as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Millwall when the two teams squared off at the Ashton Gate Stadium.

The Robins have managed just two wins from their last seven matches, while losing four and claiming one draw, having picked up three victories in the three games preceding this run.

However, Bristol City could move into the top six with a win on Wednesday, as they sit seventh in the Championship table with 29 points from 19 games, two points behind fourth-placed Ipswich Town.

On the other hand, a first-half masterclass saw Leicester City cruise to a 3-1 victory over Derby County when the two sides squared off at the Pride Park Stadium last Saturday.

Before that, the Foxes saw their run of two consecutive league wins come to an end in a 3-0 loss against Southampton on November 25, four days before falling to a 3-2 home defeat at the hands of Sheffield United.

Leicester City have picked up 17 points from their 19 Championship matches so far to sit 14th in the league table, level on points with Southampton, Wrexham and Watford.
