LEICESTER, England (March 10, 2026) (Interstat) — Leicester City began its English Football League Championship campaign with a 2-0 victory over Bristol City on Tuesday at King Power Stadium.

Defender Benjamin Nelson opened the scoring in the 13th minute and assisted on Abdul Fatawu Issahaku’s 28th-minute goal to seal the win. The result defied a pregame projection from Interstat that forecast a 1-1 draw, which gave Leicester a 51% probability to win.

The match featured five yellow cards, with Bristol City’s Neto Borges and Sinclair Armstrong and Leicester’s Hamza Choudhury, Nelson and Sam Morsy all booked. Leicester starts the season 1-0-0, while Bristol City opens 0-1-0.
