This Saturday, we return to the home ground of a leader lacking in confidence. On the 27th day of the Championship, Coventry City returns to its home crowd with a single goal in mind: to get back on the winning track against Leicester City. The team's lead at the top of the league is beginning to melt away, as Frank Lampard's side has been going through a difficult period since the holidays.... A total of four games without a win, elimination from the FA Cup against Stoke City, and one point out of a possible nine in the league. Nothing is going right for the Bantams, either offensively or defensively. If the Skyblues don't rediscover the form they showed in the early weeks, the crisis could become serious!

Leicester City is certainly looking to take advantage of this! Three points behind the playoffs, the former Premier League club is gradually closing in on its goal. Immediate promotion still seems difficult, but the Foxes have been on a roll for some time now. The blue and whites have already secured their place in the FA Cup round of 32. This is a good result following two wins in three Championship games! Not everything is perfect, but Marti Cifuentes and his men are making the most of their home games. It's time for them to perform at the same level away from home in 2026...

Our Coventry City vs Leicester Prediction

Leicester City can afford to believe in a good result, given Coventry City's current form. However, it should not be forgotten that the Bantams remain strong at home and cannot afford two consecutive home defeats, especially in the title race. With the Foxes hot on their heels, the leaders will have to live up to their status or risk reigniting the suspense at the top of the Championship.
