Championship Betting Preview: Sheffield Wednesday vs Leicester

Relegated Sheffield Wednesday square off against third-from-bottom Leicester at Hillsborough, with kick-off set for 10:00 on Monday 6 April.

There’s a case for siding with Sheffield Wednesday +1 at odds of -104. Despite already being relegated, we expect the Owls to put up a fight in front of their home crowd against a Leicester City side that is without a win in their last ten league games away from home.

This Asian Handicap bet offers a refund if Wednesday lose by a single goal, while a win or draw would result in a nice return.

Sheffield Wednesday lost 2-0 away to Stoke City at the bet365 Stadium in their last game, making it three straight Championship defeats. The Owls had two shots on target and 52% possession.

Leicester City drew 2-2 against Preston North End in their previous game. This was on home soil at King Power Stadium. Gary Rowett's team had ten shots on goal and enjoyed 59% possession, while Patson Daka scored twice.

Head-to-Head Statistics

Leicester have claimed back-to-back victories over Wednesday and both were home wins at King Power Stadium, featuring 2-1 and 2-0 scorelines. The past 3 H2H matches have included two Leicester wins along with a single draw.
