Leicester City vs Birmingham City Prediction & Preview

Preview

As the Championship gears up for an enthralling encounter this Saturday, 6th April, Leicester City welcomes Birmingham City to the King Power Stadium. This match promises not just a clash of ambitions but also showcases two teams with contrasting fortunes this season.

Under the guidance of Enzo Maresca, Leicester City have been formidable, positioning themselves 3rd in the league with a commendable tally of 85 points. Their recent form reflects their resilience and ambition - securing 2 wins, suffering 2 losses, and drawing once in their last five outings. Notably, their previous game saw them triumph over Norwich City with a convincing 3-1 victory at home.

On the other side of the pitch stands Birmingham City, led by Gary Rowett. Currently sitting uncomfortably at 20th place with only 42 points to their name, they're battling inconsistency as evidenced by their recent form: one win interspersed among three losses and a draw in their last five matches. However, they head into this match off a morale-boosting 1-0 victory against Preston North End at St. Andrew's Stadium.

The historical head-to-head leans heavily in favor of Leicester City who have bested Birmingham in all three of their most recent encounters without conceding once; including a dominant display that ended in a resounding 3-0 win during their last meeting on January.

Statistically speaking both teams show disparity not just on the table but also on-field performances; where Leicester boasts an average scoreline significantly better than Birmingham’s both home and away – especially noteworthy is Leicester's average goal tally per game when playing on home turf (1.75) compared to Birmingham’s away record (0.75).

Bet

Considering all factors – current form & stats coupled with historical performances between these two sides – leaning towards "Home Win" seems like the logical choice here for any bettors out there looking for value and likelihood combined.

The odds standing at 1.36 may not present as high return stakes compared to other options; however given Leicester's dominance over Birmingham historically coupled with solid performance metrics especially when playing at King Power Stadium suggests it's arguably one of safer bets ensuring returns albeit smaller for your betting slip.
