This should be an interesting match at the King Power Stadium. Leicester have begun to look stronger in their performances to match the results that have actually been there all season.

Portsmouth are one of six Championship clubs that currently sit with a record of three wins, three draws, and three losses, which typifies what sort of league the Championship is this season.

📈 Leicester v Portsmouth Form & Tactics

Leicester have lost only once this season, but like much of the Championship this term, too many draws has been the key issue for the Foxes. Leicester are seven matches unbeaten in the league, three wins, four draws, but their most complete performance of the season was last time out at Swansea, albeit it still took two excellent strikes by key players to win the match.

Leicester are down in 16th for expected goals; they have scored more than expected, again mainly because of excellent strikes from outside the box or difficult angles, which doesn’t necessarily make it unsustainable, but it is improbable that they can keep it up. Cifuentes will be looking for continued improvement in defence as well, as they are 19th for expected goals against.

As mentioned in the intro, Portsmouth have the ideal midtable record of won three, drawn three, lost three, but, interestingly, they are one of six clubs with that same record. As suggested by this record as well, the results have been inconsistent for Pompey, but their last Championship match was a big 1-0 win at home to Middlesbrough, it was their first win in five matches, and re-established an important home record that had been under threat.

This is more of a free swing for Portsmouth, which makes them dangerous as well. Most of Portsmouth’s vital statistics draw a picture of a team who are very midtable. They are ranked 12th for xG and 14th for xGA, but the rest of their attacking numbers are poor. They are 21st for shots on target, 23rd for big chances, and 19th for touches in the opponents’ penalty area.

📔 Leicester v Portsmouth Formation & Team News

Leicester will take to the field with a back four and probably in a 4-2-3-1 shape. They have been through many different midfield combinations, but Jordan James has made an impact in recent weeks and is likely to start. Patson Daka is also likely to retain his place, and Abdul Fatawu is a certain starter on the right. Fatawu is the key man that Portsmouth will have to work out a plan for.

It is mainly international break fatigue that Cifuentes will have to combat in his team selection. Minutes given to Jordan Ayew could cost him a start here, whilst Jannik Vestergaard, who played full matches for Denmark, is more likely to start to keep a consistency of selection in defence for the Foxes.

John Mousinho is a 4-2-3-1 man through and through. It is the system that Portsmouth have recruited to diligently over the last few years, and that is a big key as to why Pompey have become a solid Championship outfit. A few of the newer signings have yet to really force their way into the first XI, but Adrian Segecic has been a regular and has added much to the attacking outlook of the team. Min-hyeok Yang has also come in and delivered goals from wide.

Nicolas Schmid, Conor Shaughnessy, Callum Lang, Josh Murphy, and Thomas Waddingham are all still out injured for Mousinho.
