On Tuesday night, Leicester City, inching closer to a return to the English Premier League, will host Sheffield Wednesday, seeking another victory.
After their first relegation in nine years last season, The Foxes needed to respond to their fans, and they have done so impressively. Enzo Maresca’s team now leads the Championship, with a substantial eleven-point lead over Southampton, who are in second place.
Meanwhile, Sheffield Wednesday is one of the two poorest performing teams in the English second division this season. They are only seven points away from last place and hold the second worst away record for the season. Despite this, Danny’s team will be encouraged by their recent victory over Birmingham City on Saturday, which concluded their six-game streak without a win in all competitions.
Leicester City vs Sheffield Wednesday Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
In recent weeks, Leicester City’s offense has been formidable, netting at least three goals in five out of their last six matches. However, there is a need for defensive improvement, as the Foxes have only managed to end two out of their last eight Championship matches without letting in a goal.
The last outing saw Sheffield Wednesday maintaining a clean sheet, but such instances are highly unusual. Danny Röhl’s team only achieved this feat in three out of their last nine games, and they conceded exactly four goals in two of their last three matches.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Leicester City vs Sheffield Wednesday prediction: 3-1

Sheffield Wednesday team news
John Egan (foot), Tom Davies (knee), and Chris Basham (leg) from Sheffield Wednesday will be out of action on Monday due to injuries.
Upon their return from international duty, Anis Slimane and Yasser Larouci will be vying for a place in the starting lineup. However, it seems unlikely that head coach Danny Röhl will make any adjustments from the team’s victorious match against Birmingham.
