Bristol City vs Leicester City: A Tale of Two Cities in the EFL Cup




Bristol City will host Leicester City in the second round of the EFL Cup on Tuesday, August 22nd, 2023 at Ashton Gate Stadium.
The Robins, who play in the EFL Championship, will be looking to make a good start to their cup campaign against the Foxes, who are in the Premier League. Bristol City have won the EFL Cup once, in 1904, while Leicester City have never won the competition.

Bristol City vs Leicester City: A Tale of Two Cities
Bristol City and Leicester City are two very different clubs. Bristol City are a Championship club, while Leicester City are a Premier League club. Bristol City have won the EFL Cup once, while Leicester City have never won the competition.
The two teams are also in very different forms. Bristol City have lost their last two matches, while Leicester City have won their last two matches.
However, anything can happen in a cup competition. Bristol City will be looking to make a good start to their cup campaign, while Leicester City will be looking to continue their good form in the competition.
It should be a close match, but I think Leicester City will win. They have more quality in their squad, and they are in better form.
