Leicester – Coventry : Preview & Prediction
It’s a match that many observers and soccer fans are likely to follow this Sunday afternoon. Back in the Championship after excellent years in the Premier League and an English Championship title in 2016, Leicester return to the King Power Stadium on Matchday 1 to welcome Coventry, a team who have been in the 2nd Division since 2020. Despite the logical loss of key players such as Maddison, Tielemans and Barnes, coach Enzo Maresca can count on a backbone of experienced and talented players such as Daka, Mavididi, Ndidi and Ricardo Pereira. As you can see, the Foxes are serious contenders for the title, and a win this weekend will be crucial in laying the very first stone in their quest. Following a successful summer preparation (2V-1D), the blue and whites can attack the game with confidence, aiming for the best possible result at the end of regulation time!
The home side should be wary, however, as their opponents have just completed a very convincing month of July. Having beaten Milton Keynes and Forest Green by scores of 5-1 and 4-0 respectively, the Bantams are aiming to continue this fine run by surprising the former PL resident on the first weekend of the season. Even if the task does not look easy on paper, Mark Robins and his players have shown good form during the month of July, which gives them cause for optimism ahead of kick-off. If they stick to their game plan, it’s possible that the visitors will surprise their opponents over the next 90 minutes.
Leicester ended last season with 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat at home.
Leicester have lost none of their last 5 meetings (2V-3N).
