Leicester City vs Coventry City Prediction and Betting Tips | September 20th 2025

Leicester City take on Coventry City in the sixth round of games in the Championship on Saturday. Both sides are in the top half of the fledgling standings.

Marti Cifuentes' Leicester are coming off a 2-2 draw at Oxford United last weekend. Following early goals from either side, Aaron Ramsey saw red, and Oxford capitalised on their numerical advantage when Boubakary Soumare put through his own net on the cusp of half-time.

Leicester, though, hit back through Ricardo Pereira 11 minutes later as a share of the spoils ensued. The draw snapped the Foxes' two-game winning streak, keeping them fourth in the points table, with 10 points from five games, winning three.

Meanwhile, Frank Lampard's Coventry are also coming off a draw in their most recent outing, a 1-1 home stalemate with Norwich City. Mathias Kvistgaarden's 17th-minute opener for Norwich nearly proved to be the winner for the visitors before Haji Wright's dramatic 96th-minute equaliser salvaged Coventry's blushes.

A third draw for the Sky Blues sees themselves in sixth place in the standings, with nine points from five outings, winning two.

On that note, here's a look at the head-to-head stats and key numbers, match prediction, and betting tips for the Leicester-Convetry Championship contest at the King Power Stadium:

Leicester City vs Coventry City prediction

Both sides have made good starts to the season, especially Coventry, who are unbeaten and scored an impressive 15 times in five games as they look determined for a Premier League return.

In terms of head-to-head, though, the Foxes have an advantage and have dominated recent meetings, winning nine of 19 matchups, losing twice. Leicester haven't lost to the Sky Blues in 10 home meetings since a 3-1 reverse in the Premier League in April 2001.

It's a tough matchup to call, but considering Coventry's better start to the season, expect them to hold on for a share of the spoils away from home.
