With 6 goals and 6 assists already, he&#8217;s produced a remarkable 34 key passes and big chance assists. Mehmeti averages nearly 2 chances created per match and hits the target with 37.5% of shots. If Bristol are to break through Leicester&#8217;s backline, expect Mehmeti to be at the centre of it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Leicester City Attack:<\/strong> Leicester spread their attacking threat, with 20 assists from 25 goals (0.8 assists per goal) and a league-best 84.5% pass accuracy. They average 1.3 goals per game and 4 shots on target per match, so any of their front men are capable of making the difference.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Head-to-Head: Last 2 Meetings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These teams have split their last two encounters, each winning 1-0 at home. Tellingly, both contests were close, cagey affairs \u2014 suggesting little separates them when they meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"\" data-align=\"center\">Date<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Score<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Competition<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">29\/03\/24<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Bristol City 1-0 Leicester City<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Championship<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">23\/09\/23<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Leicester City 1-0 Bristol City<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Championship<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, will Bristol City underline their defensive steel and climb further up the table, or can Leicester\u0019s technical dominance turn possession into points on the road? Given both sides&#8217; attacking output and recent head-to-head history, the value may lie with <a href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-con-wof-s-spo\">Both Teams to Score at 8\/11 (57.9%)<\/a>.
