Amidst Champions League games we often find games from Championship. And round 32 bring us Leicester vs Sheffield Wednesday. For The Foxes direct promotion is a reality as they are currently leading the table with an 11 point advantage over Southampton. Sheffield occupy the second to last position and relegation looks all but certain.
Leicester Team News
Leicester have been on fire lately and the team is on the path to return to the Premier League. In the last 3 Championship games, The Foxes have managed to snatch a victory in all. All of those fixtures saw over 2.5 goals. If we look at Leicester’s home record in the Championship we will see that the last loss came at the hands of Leeds back in October. Since then Enzo Maresca’s boys have won all but one of their home fixtures. In 3 of those they have managed to keep a clean sheet and in 4 of those games the win came with at least 2 goal margin for The Foxes.
Sheffield Wednesday Team News
Despite securing vital 3 points against Birmingham last time out, Sheffield are still in the twilight zone and look like one of the strongest relegation candidates. This is the team’s only win in their last 5 Championship games. If we look at Sheffield’s away games we will see 4 losses and 1 win. All of their 4 losses in that period came with at least a 2 goal margin. The Owls also managed to score just 1 goal in these 4 defeats. The other scored away goal in their last 5 games on the road came during their win at Preston.

Interestingly enough, in the head-to-head both teams have 2 wins in their last 5 meetings with the last game ending in a draw. If we look at the last 5 games at the King Power Stadium it is actually Sheffield who have a slight advantage with 3 wins versus 2 for Leicester.
Leicester – Sheffield Wednesday Betting Prediction
In spite of the overall even statistics when it comes to the head-to-head, I believe Leicester to be the better team overall. They have an impressive home record winning with good margins. Sheffield have obvious troubles as visitors and find it hard to even score. That is why I would pick a -1.5 Handicap for Leicester
