Leicester vs Swansea prediction 30.01.2024.

• Competition: Championship
• Date: Tuesday, 30th January 2024
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
• Venue: King Power Stadium (Leicester)

Leicester are on track to make a comeback to the premier English football league. They’ve been leading in the Championship almost since the start of the 2023/24 season. Presently, the Foxes are seven points ahead of the team next in line, Ipswich. Leicester’s performance has been commendable in recent months, losing only one out of their last 14 matches in all competitions. In their latest match, they triumphed 3-0 over Birmingham in the FA Cup at home. However, a deeper look into the statistics reveals that the home team’s expected goals (xG) were only 0.82, in contrast to the guests’ 1.38, implying that the victory margin should not have been so wide.

Swansea’s season continues to disappoint. Their initial ambition was to contend for a playoff spot, but after 28 rounds, it looks like a mid-table finish is a more achievable target for the 2023/24 season. Swansea haven’t tasted victory in their last three games. In their most recent match, they were defeated 5-0 away in the FA Cup by Bournemouth. The host team took control from the get-go, remarkably netting all five goals in the first half. Swansea threw in the towel in the second half, but fortunately for them, Bournemouth failed to score a sixth goal.

Leicester vs Swansea pick: Over 2.5 goals 

Lately, both teams have been participating in matches with high scores. Leicester has exceeded 2.5 goals in four out of their past five games, and Swansea has surpassed 2.5 goals in their last three games. Betting on over 2.5 goals would be the most recommended for this matchup.
