Leicester City recently won against Shrewsbury Town in pre-season. Now, Steve Cooper is looking ahead to win his second game on the bounce with his new team Leicester City, before their return to the Premier League in 2024/25. They will face Italian side Palermo.
Leicester City won the EFL Championship last season but they are aware that the Premier League will be more competitive than ever next season. Therefore, it's important that Cooper gets to grips with his new squad before the season commences, which is what pre-season is great for.
So, without further ado, here is the Leicester vs Palermo preview, which features key information such as team news, predicted lineups, information about how to watch on TV & a final score prediction.

Leicester vs Palermo Score Prediction
The one thing which is inevitable with Leicester City is that they will concede goals until they fix their defence. However, they have a strong attack, so they provide an attacking threat. I will go with an optimistic Leicester 3-2 Palermo here.
