Leicester vs Birmingham prediction
Leicester City have started their season with two victories, narrowly defeating Sheffield Wednesday and Charlton Athletic, sandwiching a loss to Preston North End at Deepdale. Following their relegation last season, the Foxes still have a strong squad, but there is a bit of flux off the pitch as they try and find a rhythm and a formula.
They now face a Birmingham City side that come into this one on the back of a surprise 1-0 defeat to Port Vale in the first round of the EFL Cup. However, the Blues, who set the all-time EFL points record with 111 in League One last season, have started this campaign very well by collecting seven points from their opening three matches.
Leicester have been unconvincing and there will be a concern that almost any cohesive attacking pattern of play will cause them major issues, and siding with the visitors would represent good value.
Leicester vs Birmingham tip: Double chance – Birmingham to win or draw
