Bristol City vs Leicester City Preview
Bristol City and Leicester City will meet in the match of the 39th round of the English Championship. The clash will take place on Friday, March 29 at Ashton Gate Stadium in Bristol.
In the upcoming match, teams that are in different parts of the standings and solve opposite tasks will play. Bristol City has already dropped to 14th place over the past month (47 points in 38 games), and fans are starting to cautiously count the distance to the relegation zone. But it's too early to panic – an eight-point gap from 22nd place allows the team to enjoy a certain advantage. Nevertheless, if the recession continues, then the end of the championship for Robins will be very nervous.
Leicester City continues to be considered the main favourite for direct entry into the Premier League, but three consecutive defeats have significantly complicated the task. Foxes dropped to second place, passing Leeds United ahead. Both teams have 82 points, but Leicester City have played one less game. In addition, Ipswich Town is breathing down the back of Enzo Maresca’s team, which is only 1 point behind.

Bristol City Preview
The Robins have hit a black streak – just one win in their last six matches. Moreover, the team was inferior to rivals from the top of the standings – Ipswich Town (2:3) and West Bromwich Albion (0:2), and outsiders – Sheffield Wednesday (1:2) and Queens Park Rangers (0:1). Only Swansea City managed to win (1-0).
Bristol City also performs mediocre on its own field – 8 wins in 19 matches (3 draws, 8 defeats). At the same time, the team conceded only 20 goals in 19 home games - only the teams from the leading group have a better record. On average, 2.2 goals are scored in matches at Ashton Gate Stadium.
Leicester City Preview
The end of February and the beginning of March turned out to be extremely difficult for Foxes. The team has not had such an unsuccessful period this season: only 1 victory (over Sunderland 1-0), 2 draws and 4 defeats. One draw in the main time of the FA Cup match against Bournemouth still turned into a victory, but in the next round, at the 1/4 finals stage, Foxes lost to Chelsea (2:4) and completed their performance in the tournament.
Due to the prolonged recession, the team lost all its advantage in the fight for direct entry into the Premier League. Leeds United and Ipswich Town have caught up with the former leader, and now Leicester City face a nervous end to the season. In such circumstances, the international break was certainly appropriate; obviously, the team needed a pause to prepare for the decisive breakthrough.
