Leicester to continue march against Sheffield Wed

On 75 points Leicester are set to host Sheffield Wed, on 26 points. There are 22 places separating these two.

Leicester epitomise the role of being an odds-on favourite and offering value at the same time.

If their latest results are anything to go on, it's obvious why Sheffield Wed are such huge underdogs. The hosts have registered 12 wins in their last 15 matches. Conversely the travelling side has pulled up short at times. They've lost 11 of their recent 13 matches on the road. Another defeat beckons for them here. Make no equivocation about it, there's nothing in the data to suggest this Sheffield Wed outfit can hold off the Leicester onslaught.

So what is it about the hosts' form? Leicester have scored three or more goals in 9 of their recent 14 matches.

Sheffield Wed have looked unsteady on the road recently. They've conceded three or more times in all of their last 3 away matches. If they are creaking it might not just be in defence. Sheffield Wed have only scored 7 goals in their last 18 away games.

As you're looking into this match you've probably seen the recent performances by the hosts already. They have star players in spades and that makes them overwhelming favourites against Sheffield Wed.

The betting markets suggest that at least one of these sides will keep a clean sheet due to the blatant favouritism for Leicester. If it plays out as many expect the No BTTS could be worth considering. Whatever happens here, expect The Foxes to prevail.
