Our prediction for this Championship match:
Tuesday’s football game at King Power Stadium pits together Leicester City and Sheffield Wednesday, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the remainder of the season. The Foxes are on the right track to secure automatic promotion and their three-game winning run in the Championship is fuelling fans with optimism ahead of the visit of Sheffield Wednesday. Wilfried Ndidi remains in the recovery room, while his compatriot Kelechi Iheanacho is unlikely to be involved.
The Owls, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Birmingham City and they managed to get one, but given their poor away record (2-1-12), we predict that the league leaders are going to win the midweek clash. The likes of Josh Windass, Callum Paterson, John Buckley, and Dominic Iorfa miss out with injuries for the visiting team. In their last meeting at the venue Leicester City defeated Sheffield Wednesday 2-1.
Highlighted Player (Josh Windass):
