Leicester vs Sheffield Wednesday prediction
Leicester City have only signed Asmir Begovic going into the new season.
But haven’t lost many players either from their relegation season in the Premier League last year.
Leicester won promotion by winning the title in the 2023/24 Championship season, winning by a point ahead of Ipswich Town.
And now back into the second tier they look capable of pushing for another promotion to go right back up again.
Sheffield Wednesday on the other hand have been struggling to get out of the Championship aside from a brief stint back down in League One.
Wednesday finished 12th in the table last year, only nine points ahead of the drop and only ten points behind the play-offs.
But with 69 goals conceded across 46 games played they need to improve to challenge for more.
The expectations aren’t high for that at least, as they face a terrible time in the club with huge ownership issues, an exodus of players going on free transfers and only two arrivals technically and that’s just because they’re returning from loan.
They must now rely on youngsters while they face this tricky time and don’t look like they’ll be able to compete against Leicester.
Leicester vs Sheffield Wednesday betting tips
As a result of the disparity in the two sides, Leicester are huge odds-on favourites while Sheffield Wednesday are as big as 16/1 just to get the win in 90 minutes.
Leicester being the big favourites with such a strong squad is likely to see them come out on top as Sheffield Wednesday still reel from this huge change in personnel on the pitch and in the staff.
They should be getting at least a couple of goals here and won’t go easy on Wednesday, being keen to get things rolling early on.
