Leicester vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction – Championship

This is Leicester’s first match of the season, following their previous campaign in which they finished 18th and were relegated. They tend to perform better at home, with a poor record of 1 win, 2 draws, and 12 losses away over the last 30 matches, scoring only 10 goals and conceding 37. In contrast, they secured 4 wins, 1 draw, and 10 losses at home, with a tally of 16 goals scored against 29 conceded. In their most recent outing, Leicester lost 2-0 to AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League. At home, they’ve recorded 3 victories and 7 losses in their last 10 matches, and defensive solidity has not been their strong point, conceding goals in 8 of their last 10 games. There is also a trend of high-scoring encounters, as 19 of their last 21 home games have ended with over 1.5 goals. Notably, Leicester has failed to overturn deficits, as they have not managed to win in 11 games after conceding first.

Leicester City approaches this challenge following a 2-0 friendly victory against Fiorentina. The home side typically employs a 4-3-3 formation, favouring quick, dynamic play. Their attacking threat comes from Issahaku Fatawu, Stephy Mavididi, and Jordan Ayew, all capable of posing significant problems for the opposition’s defence. Bilal El Khannouss plays a pivotal role in midfield, linking defensive and offensive phases with flair. All players are available for this fixture.
