Leicester City vs Middlesbrough: Preview and Prediction

Leicester City vs Middlesbrough
England Premier League.
Date: Saturday, 26th November 2016,
Kick-off at 15:00 UK.
Venue: King Power Stadium, Leicester.

Leicester City have been good in the Champions League, but their League form is the opposite. They will be hosting Middleborough at King Power Stadium on Saturday for the week 13 games of the Premier League.

Leicester City have applied every good technique but, they have only got good results in the Champions League. They are among the teams that qualified for the Round of 16 during the mid-week games. The reigning English Champions are in the 14th position in the table with 12 points after 12 averaging 1 point per game. They will hope to start getting things right now before it’s too late for them.

Meanwhile, Middleborough are just a point below their host who are directly above them in the table. Their league form in recent weeks have been poor with just one win in their last 10 games. A win in this game will leap frog them above their host.
