Leicester City vs Huddersfield Town Prediction 01.01.2024

• Competition: Championship
• Date: 01.01.2024
• Kickoff: 15:00 UK / 16:00 CET
• Venue: King Power Stadium (Leicester)

Leicester is more than just dominant; they’re steadily making progress towards a direct placement and quick return to the Premier League. Although the 2016 English champions were relegated last season, they’re proving they won’t settle for being a permanent part of the Championship. Their recent victory in Cardiff without any difficulties has widened the point gap compared to Ipswich to 8 points, and 13 points compared to Southampton. This season, Leicester has achieved victory in 10 out of the 12 home matches they’ve played.

This season could quickly turn into a battle for survival for Huddersfield. They have accumulated 25 points so far, which is 4 points ahead of QPR. Despite still holding a decent lead, Huddersfield has the potential to climb towards the middle of the table. They experienced a loss in a crucial match against Middlesbrough in the previous round and are now facing a tough competitor. It will be challenging for them to expect a favourable outcome. However, Huddersfield’s performance in away games hasn’t been too disappointing, with a record of 2 victories, 5 draws, and 5 losses.

Leicester vs Huddersfield pick: LEICESTER TO WIN AND COVER AH -1.5

This season, “Foxes” allowed only 6 goals in 12 home games, making them the top team in the league based on that metric. They have also enhanced their performance in the last 4 matches, achieving 4 wins and scoring 12 goals. This doesn’t bode well for Huddersfield, and it’s likely to be challenging for the visiting team to prevent an early goal. The smart move would be to predict a Leicester win but also to boost the odds by betting on the home team to cover AH -1.5.
