Leicester City vs Sunderland prediction 24.10.2023
Leicester City
Sunderland
Contents
- Competition: Championship
- Date: 24th October 2023
- Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
- Venue: King Power Stadium
On Tuesday, Leicester City will aim to get one step closer to making a quick comeback to the English top division as they face Sunderland at home.
Enzo Maresca, the ex-assistant of Pep Guardiola, is successfully maximizing Leicester City’s potential. In their recent match against Swansea City, the Foxes aimed to secure their seventh consecutive league victory. Despite initially trailing, they rallied back and triumphed over Swansea, accomplishing a remarkable feat as the first team to win their first five away games in a Championship season.
Leicester will be welcoming Sunderland to their home ground, a team they haven’t faced since the 2016/17 Premier League season. Sunderland had a promising start to the season, suffering only one defeat in their first seven games. However, lately, they have been struggling, with defeats becoming a common occurrence. Tony Mowbray’s team has lost their last two matches, with a combined score of 6:1.
Leicester City vs Sunderland Betting Tips: Leicester to win
After being relegated from the Premier League, Leicester City has excelled in both offensive and defensive aspects in the Championship. Not only do they top the points table, but they have also scored the highest number of goals while conceding the fewest. Additionally, they approach Tuesday’s game with an impressive winning streak of three consecutive home games without conceding any goals.
On Tuesday, Sunderland has the potential to pose serious challenges for the league leaders. Throughout this season, Tony Mowbray’s team has only failed to score in three out of their eleven league games and has conceded a mere three goals. Despite this, the King Power Stadium hasn’t been a favorable location for them in their previous three encounters with the Black Cats, as they failed to secure a victory.
