On the other hand, Leicester beat Hull City 4-0 in their previous clash on Thursday to get their 1st pre-season win of the campaign.

Prediction: Derby 1-2 Leicester
This should be an interesting affair as both sides have been performing well recently. While Derby has won both pre-season matches, Leicester picked up just their maiden win recently but have the issue of conceding goals hurting them.
However, we can see the Foxes picking up the victory in this one as their attacking range is superior to Derby’s.
