Sunderland - Leicester City predictions and free betting tips [05/03/2024]

After a series of three consecutive defeats in the championship, the 'Championship' leaders, 'Leicester City', will endeavour to recommence accumulating much-needed points. In a match at 'Stadium of Light', they will face 'Sunderland', who have not yet lost hope of making it to the playoff zone. However, the form of the 'Black Cats' raises many questions as well.

Sunderland

Interim head coach Mike Dodds has been unable to alter the club's situation for the better, and Sunderland's performance is deteriorating. The injury situation within the team is quite bleak, with the added issue of Trey Hume receiving his tenth yellow card of the season, leading to his absence from the match.

Leicester City

A trip to a team in such form as Sunderland could be a very important match for Leicester in terms of psychology. The 'Foxes' are considerably superior and this could be an excellent opportunity to regain confidence in their own abilities. Centre-back Yannick Vestergor will miss the final match of his disqualification, while Dennis Praet sustained an injury in the match against 'Queens Park Rangers'.

Match prediction: Sunderland - Leicester

Owing to the 'Foxes' losing their last three games, we have odds of 1.77 on their victory. It would be a crime to pass up such a gift. Here, we have the injuries of Sunderland's players, the interim coach, and a Leicester team with its back to the wall - everything points towards the visitors. A handicap of -1.5 for them looks even better.
