Leicester City host (ideally in a fierce atmosphere) Portsmouth on Saturday evening in a Championship encounter. The match is expected to be an intense affair, with both the Foxes and Pompey heading into the contest brimming with confidence.
Not to mention that both sides were victorious in their previous outings. The King Power Stadium is anticipated to be buzzing this weekend as a loud visiting contingent meets a passionate home crowd in Leicestershire.
John Mousinho’s side managed to overcome promotion contenders Middlesbrough with a narrow 1-0 victory. It was an outstanding result and performance from the South Coast outfit.
Meanwhile, the East Midlands club travelled to Swansea City in Wales and came away with all three points. A superb team performance earned the win for Marti Cifuentes’ men. Let’s take a look at what one expert has to say ahead of the clash.
However, before turning to Sky Sports’ well-known pundit David Prutton for his prediction, it’s worth mentioning another Leicester-related development.
Unfortunately, a Foxes loanee has picked up an injury while representing his temporary side. Here’s the update on that situation.
Star loanee suffers setback:
Nathan Opoku is currently out on loan with Newport County AFC, another Welsh club. He’s been somewhat overshadowed by fellow Leicester teammate Sammy Braybrooke.

Although Opoku was reportedly performing well, it’s an unfortunate setback. The Rodney Parade side next face Cheltenham Town, but the 24-year-old has been ruled out and has returned to his parent club.
