Leeds United - Leicester City predictions and free betting tips [23/02/2024]

In the central match of the 34th round of the Championship, Leeds United will host Leicester City at their home ground. The team of Daniel Farke has won eight championship matches in a row, and the last five games have been dry victories. Although Leicester is confidently leading the tournament table, today's match could provide a nerve-wracking end to the season for Enzo Maresca's team.

Predicted Starting Lineups

Leeds United: Meslier, Gray, Rodon, Ampadu, Firpo, Gruev, Kamara, GnonTo, Ratner, Summerville, Piru.

Leicester City: Hermansen, Pereira, Faes, Vestergor, Justin, Winks, Dewsbury-Hall, Fatawu, Praet, Mackatir, Daka.

Leeds United

This season, Leeds has not suffered any home defeats, which will give the players confidence in this important match. The starting lineup is set and the team is growing as the season progresses. Patrick Bamford could potentially be in the main squad, but he has been injured again, so his participation in the match is highly questionable. The same story goes with Sam Byram.

Leicester City

For most of the season, the title race seemed to be over, with Leicester increasingly distancing itself from the pack, comfortably winning almost every game. However, recently the team has slowed down and some problems have arisen. An unexpected defeat at home to mid-table Middlesbrough could potentially spice up the title race. A win for Leeds would leave them just 6 points adrift from the second place, with Ipswich and Southampton very close. The silver lining is that Maresca's lineup is solid, and he can pick and choose players as per tactical needs.

Prediction for the match Leeds United - Leicester City

The hosts are in excellent form, showing impressive in-game conditions. Today's match could potentially shape the ending of the championship, with much at stake. The main stakes lie for Leeds. While Leicester may afford to lose more points, the 'Peacocks' would be immediately eaten by Ipswich and Southampton. So, Daniel Farke’s charges will make every effort to achieve results. I predict their victory.
