Leicester - Coventry City: Form Analysis
Even after finishing the season on a high, Leicester City could not salvage their Premier League status. Less than a decade since they were declared champions of England, they are playing in the second tier. It has been a tough period for the Foxes and even as they come here, their preseason run wasn’t the best. In their two preseason matches, Leicester managed one win. They wrapped up their season preps with a 4-0 loss to Liverpool. That defeat made it three games in five that they’ve failed to score. Five of their last seven matches have produced over 2.5 goals. Each of their last four home matches have also produced over 2.5 goals. The last time Leicester played Coventry City was in 2012 in the Championship, and they won 2-0. It was Leicester’s second straight win over their opponents and a sixth straight unbeaten game against Coventry.
Coventry went very close to promotion last season, only denied by a draw with Luton Town. They will be keen to prove the run was never a fluke. Coventry City played four preseason friendly matches and finished undefeated, winning three. In their most recent outing, Coventry beat Exeter City 2-1 away from home. They actually played all their four matches away from home and will feel ready for this. Perhaps the improvement they will need is the fact that they have just one clean sheet in the last five matches. Three of their last four matches have produced over 2.5 goals. Both teams have scored in four of Coventry’s last five matches. The same was t6he case in two of their last three away league matches last season.

Leicester & Coventry City Squad Analysis
Leicester City have brought on board a number of top players to lead their quest for a return to the Premier League. Among them, however, Connor Coady is set to miss this game with injury. Callum Doyle and Harry Winks could be handed starts after joining recently. Former Arsenal man Stephy Mavididi is also a new signing at the club but could miss this one.
Coventry too have a number of new arrivals. Brad Collins, Jay Dasilve and Tatsuhiro Sakamoto could all be drafted in to start.

Leicester vs Coventry City - Other Interesting Predictions
Draw
Leicester City are a much-changed side, which might affect their rhythm coming into their first game of the season. This game has produced four draws in six meetings and the disruptions at Leicester might limit their winning chances. Coventry have three draws in the last four competitive matches. Away from home in competitive matches, they have five draws in nine. We will go for a draw as another possibility here.
Both teams to score
In seven of Leicester City’s last 10 competitive matches, both teams have scored. They come into this game without a clean sheet in 13 competitive matches at home. Coventry are facing the same too; both teams have scored in four of their last five competitive matches. They’ve also scored in four straight away matches. We are backing this game to have both teams scoring.
