Leicester City will be looking to reignite their stuttering Championship campaign when they welcome promotion-chasing Middlesbrough to the King Power Stadium on Tuesday night. After last season’s relegation from the Premier League, The Foxes have struggled to find any real consistency in the second tier and pressure is beginning to mount on head coach Marti Cifuentes.

The East Midlands outfit have picked up just four wins from their opening thirteen league fixtures, alongside five draws and four defeats, leaving them sitting 14th in the standings on 17 points. Given the quality and depth within the Leicester squad, expectations were far higher, but a run of just eight points from their last eight matches has stalled their progress.

Their most recent loss brought visible frustration from the home supporters, underlining the growing tension surrounding the club.

Visitors Middlesbrough have made a much brighter start to the season, sitting second in the table with 25 points from 13 games (W7 D4 L2) under the guidance of Rob Edwards. Boro have been one of the division’s most impressive and balanced sides so far, combining defensive resilience with attacking purpose.

However, Boro suffered a rare setback last weekend as they fell to a 3-0 defeat away at Watford, following a frustrating draw with Wrexham. That result marked only their second loss of the season, and Edwards will be demanding another quick reaction from his players — something they managed impressively earlier in the campaign when bouncing back from their only previous defeat with successive victories.

A win here would move Middlesbrough level on points with league leaders Coventry City, while Leicester will be desperate to deliver a performance that can lift morale and get their season back on track.

The Betting Verdict

Leicester City’s home advantage could keep them competitive, but Middlesbrough’s structure and superior form give them the edge.
