The match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Football and DAZN Canada from the King Power Stadium in Leicester.

In this article, you’ll find insightful Championship Predictions from XpertStats experts.

• Leicester aiming to recover after midweek defeat at Southampton.
• Sheffield United chasing a third straight win under Chris Wilder.
• Both teams average over 11 corners per game this season.
• Marti Cifuentes’ side without suspended defender Olabade Aluko.

Leicester City’s season has been a patchwork of promise and frustration. Under Marti Cifuentes, the Foxes have shown flashes of the attacking quality that once made them Premier League darlings, but consistency keeps slipping away. They’ve averaged 1.13 goals scored per match while conceding 0.88, not disastrous, but hardly dominant. Tuesday’s 3-0 loss at St. Mary’s hit hard, especially with Olabade Aluko’s red card leaving them a man down for nearly an hour. With 24 points from 17 games and a playoff spot just three points away, the pressure is mounting. Can they find their spark again at home?

Defensively, Leicester remain tight but not impregnable. Their matches average just two goals, with 63% seeing both teams score. Corners, however, have been a defining theme: an average of 11.5 per game, with over 9.5 corners landing in 63% of their fixtures. That number hints at a side that prefers width, feeding wingers like Stephy Mavididi and Abdul Fatawu to drive forward and test opposition defenses relentlessly. Still, even solid numbers can’t mask the emotional ebb of a team trying to rediscover belief after a bruising midweek.

Sheffield United, on the other hand, are finally smiling again. Chris Wilder’s men looked doomed just weeks ago, hovering in the relegation zone with little rhythm. But football can flip fast. A 3-0 demolition of Sheffield Wednesday in the derby and another commanding 3-0 win over Portsmouth have breathed life into their campaign. Sydie Peck and Patrick Bamford are clicking up front, while a reorganized backline anchored by Japhet Tanganga and Ben Mee has brought much-needed stability. The Blades’ average of 1.11 goals scored and 1.67 conceded per game still shows imbalance, but momentum is powerful and right now, they’ve got plenty of it.

In terms of set pieces, Sheffield United have been relentless too, averaging 11.11 corners per match, with over 9.5 corners hitting in 67% of their games. It’s no wonder many bettors are eyeing the total corners market. Their wide play, combined with Leicester’s fast transitions, makes this clash ripe for action on the flanks. In the unpredictable world of the Championship, both teams have something to prove and both have the tools to make it a thrilling watch.
