In the eighth round of the English Championship, Leicester will host Bristol City at home. The home team has been in great shape since the start of the championship, but on the other hand, the guests have a chance for points if they repeat the game from the previous few rounds. Leicester have seen significant changes in their squad after their shock relegation from the Premier League, with several key players leaving the club. I'm primarily thinking of Maddison, who went to Tottenham, and Barnes, who moved to Newcastle. However, the backbone of the team remained together, and already after seven matches played in the Championship, one can see how important the experience this team brings from the Premier League. Before this match, Leicester is in second place in the table, with 18 points, one less than the first-placed Preston. Leicester's only defeat was against Hull, at home, although they were the better rival throughout the match, while they recorded the same number of victories in the remaining six games. They defeated Coventry, Huddersfield, Cardiff, Rotherham, Southampton and Norwich in the previous round and there is no doubt that they enter the duel with Bristol with a lot of confidence. Bristol City finished the previous season in the middle of the table, without much chance to reach the playoffs for the Premier League, but what is much more important, far from the relegation zone. I think that everyone in the club would be satisfied with the same this year, but at least from the game at the start of the championship, it seems that the guests have the quality to make a breakthrough and get one of the first six places in the table. After seven matches played, they are in seventh place, with 12 points won, just one less than Norwich and Hull, who are in the positions leading to the playoffs. In addition, with only six goals conceded, they are the third best defense in the league, which is also a great achievement. Leicester clearly outlined their goal at the start of the season, which is to return to the Premier League, and already after seven matches it can be said that they are determined to achieve it. Given that this is the second most effective team in the league, which has only been improving since the start of the championship, I expect an offensive match this time as well, with a great initiative from the hosts.

在英冠第八轮，莱斯特城将主场迎战布里斯托尔城。自锦标赛开始以来，主队一直处于良好状态，但另一方面，如果客队重复前几轮的比赛，他们就有机会获得积分。莱斯特城在英超意外降级后，球队发生了重大变化，几名关键球员离开了俱乐部。我首先想到的是麦迪逊，他去了托特纳姆热刺，巴恩斯去了纽卡斯尔。然而，球队的骨干仍然团结在一起，已经在英冠打了七场比赛，人们可以看到这支球队从英超带来的经验是多么重要。在本场比赛之前，莱斯特城积分榜排名第二，积18分，比积分榜第一的普雷斯顿少1分。莱斯特城唯一一场失利是在主场对阵赫尔城，尽管他们在整场比赛中都是更好的对手，但他们在剩下的六场比赛中取得了相同的胜利。他们在上一轮击败了考文垂、哈德斯菲尔德、卡迪夫、罗瑟勒姆、南安普顿和诺维奇，毫无疑问，他们将充满信心地与布里斯托尔展开对决。布里斯托尔城在上个赛季以中游结束，没有太多机会进入英超季后赛，但更重要的是，远离降级区。我认为俱乐部的每个人今年都会对同样的成绩感到满意，但至少从联赛开始的比赛来看，客人们似乎有能力取得突破，获得积分榜前六名之一。七场比赛后，他们以12分的积分排名第七，只比诺维奇和赫尔城少1分，这两支球队正处于进入季后赛的位置。此外，他们只丢了6个球，是联赛第三好的防守，这也是一个伟大的成就。莱斯特城在赛季初就明确提出了重返英超的目标，在七场比赛之后，他们可以说已经下定决心要实现这一目标。考虑到这是联赛中第二高效的球队，而且自从冠军赛开始以来一直在进步，我预计这次比赛也会有一场进攻，主队会有很好的主动性。
