Leicester vs Bristol City prediction 10.03.2026 | Championship

Only ten years after their biggest success in the club's history and the only Premier League trophy, Leicester are in danger of possible relegation to League One. Before the 2025/26 season started, many saw the Foxes as one of the best teams in the Championship, but with ten league rounds left, Leicester are in the drop zone with one point fewer than safety.

What is even more worrying is that Leicester have not won over the last 11 matches across all competitions. In the previous game, they drew 1-1 away at Ipswich. The guests should feel fortunate to have picked up a valuable point, as they had xG of only 0.18, while the hosts had 1.85.

Leicester's head coach, Gary Rowett, was satisfied after a draw in the previous Premier League tie. He said, "I liked the look of us in the first half and to go a goal ahead after a well-worked set-piece and to get into half-time (with a lead), I was really pleased. We were under pressure in the second half. Disappointed to concede, but I couldn't complain that Ipswich didn't deserve something for their efforts."

Asmir Begovic, Victor Kristiansen, Aaron Ramsey, Harry Souttar, and Jannik Vestergaard are injured and will not play on Tuesday night.

Bristol City have another solid season. They are a mid-table team with some chances to reach the promotion playoff zone. However, Bristol City's terrible form doesn't offer much optimism, as they have won only one of their last six matches. In the most recent outing, Bristol City lost 2-0 at home against Coventry. The home side ended with 60% ball possession and 14 shots on the goal, more than their opponent, but their inefficiency cost them points.

Expectedly, Bristol City's head coach Gerhard Struber was disappointed after a defeat against Coventry. He said, "We are not happy at the moment with how we are in front of the goal. I think we have enough power to score more goals, and this is a big issue. In both boxes, at the moment, we are not sharp enough. This cannot be our standard. You look at how we conceded. I think we have to be much more reliable in our last line. We have to be honest with ourselves – with a performance at this level, we cannot climb the table."

Bristol City's Adam Randell received a red card in the previous match and will serve a suspension on Tuesday. He will join already unavailable Joe Williams, Luke McNally, Robert Dickie, and Robert Atkinson.
