Leicester City vs Sheffield Wednesday Match Analysis & Prediction
13/02/2024 10:45 pm
Leicester City will be looking to make it five straight wins across all competitions when they continue their Championship campaign at home to Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday night.
The hosts are top of the Championship table, 11 points ahead of second-placed Southampton, while relegation-threatened Sheffield Wednesday sit down in 23rd place, five points adrift of the safety of 21st spot.
Leicester have won 24, drawn three and lost four of their 31 Championship matches this season to collect 75 points, which has left them 11 points ahead of second-placed Southampton at the top and 12 clear of third-placed Leeds United in the battle for promotion.
Enzo Maresca’s side have won their last four matches across all competitions, including a 2-1 victory at Watford in the league on Saturday, while they are still active in the FA Cup, with AFC Bournemouth their opponents in the fifth round of the competition later this month.
The Foxes have the second-best home record in the Championship this season, picking up 37 points from their 15 matches at the King Power Stadium, while Sheffield Wednesday have struggled on their travels.
The Owls have the second-worst away record in the Championship this season, picking up just seven points from their 15 matches on the road.
Sheffield Wednesday boast a record of seven wins, five draws and 19 losses from their 31 league matches this season to collect 26 points.
Danny Rohl’s side are five points behind 21st-placed Huddersfield Town, but they did manage to claim a 2-0 victory over Birmingham City on Saturday.
Ike Ugbo scored both goals against Birmingham, with the 25-year-old off the mark following his recent arrival on loan from Troyes, and the Owls will be looking to the forward for more inspiration in this match.
Leicester City vs. Sheffield Wednesday Head to head
In the 76 previous meetings between these two teams, they have each claimed 28 victories while drawing in 20. Leicester have scored 112 goals and conceded 111 in the process.

Leicester will again be without the services of Wilfred Ndidi due to a leg injury, while Kelechi Iheanacho is unlikely to be involved, as his Nigeria side face Ivory Coast in the AFCON final on Sunday.
Jannik Vestergaard and Marc Albrighton are also still out, but Patson Daka is set to continue as the centre-forward, with Jamie Vardy likely to be on the bench.
