Sheffield Wednesday vs Leicester: Match preview
Sheffield Wednesday sit bottom of the Championship table and have already been relegated. Survival was virtually impossible from early in the season due to a points deduction, with the club docked 18 points. They currently sit on -6 points, leaving them with no chance of recovery. The remainder of the campaign will simply be about seeing out the season and preparing for life in League One.
Leicester, meanwhile, are battling to retain their Championship status. After playing in the Premier League last season, they now face a real risk of dropping out of the second tier as well. Leicester have 40 points from 40 matches and are just one point behind 21st place. The situation is not yet critical, but Portsmouth have a game in hand, and if they win it, the gap could widen to four points. Leicester must secure victories if they are to collect vital points in their fight for survival.
Probable line-ups
- Sheffield Wednesday: Charles; Palmer, Iorfa, M Lowe; Fusire, Thornton, Ingelsson, Heskey, Adaramola; McNeill, Yates
- Leicester: Stolarczyk; Pereira, Okoli, Nelson, Thomas; Winks, Skipp; Fatawu, Mukasa, Mavididi; Daka
Prediction
Leicester have not been in the best form this season, but Sheffield Wednesday are in dreadful shape and have nothing left to play for. The recommended bet is an away win.
