This weekend’s Championship action gets underway on Friday at the King Power Stadium, where Leicester City will be playing host to Birmingham City. The Foxes are seventh, while the Blues are two places above them in fifth after three league games. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Leicester City’s hunt to return to the top flight at the first time of asking has got off to a decent start, picking up two wins in their first three league games of the new campaign.
The most recent of those came last week when the Foxes edged Charlton to a 1-0 victory on the road, with Abdul Fatawu netting the only goal of the game moments into the second half.
The hosts won their only home game this season, beating Sheffield Wednesday 2-1, while they also won their final two at this venue last season in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Birmingham City managed to get themselves back into the Championship in their first attempt last season and have made a very positive start to the new campaign.
The Blues are one of seven teams that are still unbeaten this season, now on two wins and a draw after downing Oxford 1-0 at home last weekend.
The visitors scored twice in injury time to beat Blackburn 2-1 in their only away game this season.

Leicester are the favourites in this contest, as well as to earn promotion this season. They have lost once this term, but that was an away game, and they’ll be looking forward to this clash, having last played at home over three weeks ago.
However, Birmingham isn’t going to make it easy for them. In fact, the visitors have got off to a storming start and are the team with the momentum. A few goals and a close contest are what we are expecting in this one. Our Leicester vs Birmingham prediction is both teams to score.
