Leicester City vs Sheff Wed Predictions and Betting Tips

Football betting tips for Leicester vs Sheffield Wednesday on Friday night in the Championship where Leicester are looking to take another step to the Premier League.

The Foxes only need a few more points to reach the Premier League and it’s hard to see them dropping any here when they take on The Owls who are comfortably cemented in the middle echelons of the table. A point against Wigan at the DW stadium was a decent result for Leicester and it’s a quick turnaround as they line up at the King Power just 3 days later.

Sheffield Wednesday are safe, Stuart Gray has guided the South Yorkshire side to a comfortable finish and despite a thumping from Watford on Saturday they are rarely pushovers.

Leicester saw off their nearest rivals Burnley at the weekend and despite playing 3 games in 6 days, I do fancy the Foxes to triumph here, but at 1/2, it is better to explore some other markets for our betting tips.

I don’t often delve into the correct score market, but I fancy Leicester to triumph 2-1 which is available at 8/1 with Ladbrokes. The home side will simply fancy it more, they will have read the papers and realised that if Derby and QPR drop points, they could be booking their open top bus tour by 5pm. Sometimes the added pressure can add a weight of expectation to the shoulders of the players, but Nigel Pearson is an experienced and calm head and will attempt to prevent nervousness creeping in.

With the irrepressibly energetic Jamie Vardy sidelined through injury, it gives the chance to Chris Wood to start up front, probably alongside David Nugent. Vardy and Wood are two vastly different strikers but both are able to find the net and provide the goals to fire Leicester to the top division. Wood scored a belter against Burnley perfectly executing a volley to secure the win. I fancy Chris Wood to find the net first in this encounter and he is available at 9/2 with Coral.

I don’t think Sheffield Wednesday will be there for the taking, despite them being much better at Hillsborough. I do think that it will take a performance of grit, determination and the Foxes may be required to roll their sleeves up and win ugly. I believe there may only be one goal between the sides, Leicester to win by 1 goal is available at 11/4 with SkyBet.
