The friendly match between Leicester City and OH Leuven will take place at LCFC Training Ground on Wednesday at 3:30 pm IST.
On Wednesday, Leicester City will carry on with their preparations for the upcoming Championship season by hosting their sister club Leuven at their LCFC training ground. Leuven, a Belgian team, will visit Seagrave for a three-day training camp as they also gear up for their own participation in their domestic top-tier league.
Leicester City, who are adjusting to life under Enzo Maresca after being relegated from the Premier League last season, will take another step towards the upcoming Championship season on Wednesday. Despite their efforts, they were unable to avoid relegation, ultimately ending the season in 18th place with 34 points from 38 matches. Their preparations began with a closed-doors friendly against Peterborough United, which resulted in a 2-1 loss. In their next match against Northampton Town at Sixfields, Maresca’s team emerged victorious with a lone goal scored by Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Before the start of the Championship season in early August, Leicester City will look to intensify their preparations further on Wednesday. They will then face Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool in Asia for their final two friendlies.
Leicester’s visitors, Leuven, are also looking to gain confidence for their upcoming domestic season with a pre-season trip. Leuven had a successful season in their previous campaign, showing improvement compared to the two previous years. They finished 10th in the Belgian First Division A, accumulating 48 points from 34 matches. Now, Brys’s squad travels to England to face their sister club, aiming to maintain their positive momentum. A win in this match would be their most notable accomplishment of the pre-season so far. Following the Leicester encounter, they have two more friendlies scheduled against Standard Liege and Bocholt before their league campaign begins with an away match against Charleroi next Saturday.
Leicester City probable starting lineup: Iversen, Doyle, Coady, Faes, Pereira, Dewsbury-Hall, Winks, Choudhury, Castagne, Vardy, Daka
OH Leuven probable starting lineup: Cojocaru, Dom, Ricca, Pletinckx, Sadzoute, Keita, De Norre, Banzuzi, Thorsteinsson, Opoku, Nsingi
