Leicester take on the visitors Sunderland in the round 13 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Tuesday, October 24th at King Power Stadium (Leicester).
The Foxes look convincing in the Championship. Although Leicester was relegated from the Premier League last season, the team's class hasn't dropped significantly. They are currently leading the Championship, having won 11 out of 12 matches. They hold a 5-point lead over second-placed Ipswich, but the competitors have a game in hand. In the last round, they managed to defeat Swansea 3-1 away convincingly. With such a pace, the Foxes are sure to return to the English football elite. However, injuries will keep four players from taking the field.

Sunderland experiences a slight decline. The Black Cats also dream of returning to the English football elite, but achieving this goal will be challenging. Currently, the team is in sixth place in the Championship, which isn't too bad, as they have a chance to compete in the playoffs. Sunderland are currently going through a slight decline, having suffered two consecutive losses. In the last round, the club lost to Stoke City 1-2 away, even though they played at least as well as their opponent. Their main task now is to start winning again, which will boost the players' confidence. Four players will be unavailable to help their teammates due to injuries.
The opponents have a significant history of face-offs, but they last met in the 2016/17 Premier League season when they exchanged home victories. This will be a battle between two ambitious clubs, with the advantage given to the hosts. Everything looks logical; Leicester are in excellent form and playing at their home ground, while Sunderland are experiencing a decline. We believe the hosts will have the upper hand, so we bet on their clean victory. You can also consider a high total of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Leicester to win.
