Leicester vs Birmingham City: Prediction and odds on the Match on 29 August 2025

We are back to King Power Stadium where Leicester will play host to Birmingham City in the English Championship League. The two teams have shown positive performance in their first two games of the season and will eye a better result here. Which team takes all points in this fixture? Let’s get into the previews of this game and offer best betting possibilities. 

Leicester: Form and Statistics

Leicester are not having things easy lately and will come into this game hoping to prove a point. Prior to this fixture, this team did win their last league game against Charlton which ended 0-1 on the road. In that encounter, this team settled for a goalless draw at halftime before an Issahaku Fatawu strike just three minutes after the second half break. Meanwhile, they suffered defeat at the hands of Preston in game two of the season, ending 2-1 despite being the favoured side having also lost to Huddersfield in the EFL Cup on penalties. Ahead of this game, Leicester have however been impressive at home ground with six consecutive victories.

Things are not looking pretty for Leicester in the injury department as they have three players ruled out of this fixture.

Birmingham City have a huge job ahead as they look to end Leicester’s dominance since 2012.

Meanwhile, their last encounter heading into this fixture saw Birmingham City lose to Port Vale in the EFL Cup round 1/32 which ended 0-1. Birmingham City sit 5th place in the current league campaign with four goals scored and two conceded.

Leicester vs Birmingham City Match Prediction 29th August 2025

This will be a much tougher encounter than what we had in recent meetings between the two sides. Leicester have had a good run of performances in this fixture but since their return to the Championship this season, their level of competition have dropped. On the other hand, Birmingham City remain unbeaten in the current league season and will hope to do better to make the Premier League or at least avoid relegation this season. While the level of play of both teams is important, I believe the two teams can not be written off in this fixture but Leicester’s home turf with huge fan support will be crucial to them winning here. Yet, we might be experiencing a game with a tight scoreline with both teams expected to push for a victory. 

Our match prediction is a win in at least one half for Leicester with odds at 1.80 on 1Xbet bookmaker. 

Our betting tip is a 2-1 correct score in favour of Leicester with odds at 10.00 on Bet365 bookmaker.
