Leicester vs Rotheram Prediction 23.12.2023

• Competition: Championship
• Date: 23.12.2023
• Kickoff: 15:00 UK/16:00 CEST
• Venue: King Power Stadium (Leicester)

The calendar of competition in the Championship is very tight and clubs do not have much time to review and analyze previous games.

We are exactly halfway through the season and the main impression is the dominance of two clubs, Leicester and Ipswich. The team from the King Power Stadium experienced a shocking relegation from the Premier League last season, and everyone expected them to win an express return to the Premier League. Now exactly halfway through the season, it can be said that they are very close to that goal. At this moment, Leicester sovereignly holds the leadership position with 55 points won, even 13 more than the first team below the line, Leeds. On Wednesday, the Foxes celebrated on the road against Birmingham with a score of 3:2 and thus registered their fourth victory in a row, and 18 in total.

On the other side, Rotheram is in a diametrically opposite situation. This club is nailed to the bottom of the table with all 13 points won and at this moment there is very little reason for optimism. They haven't won in the league since October 25 and the match against Coventry at home. Since then, they have recorded 4 draws and 6 defeats. As an unnecessary juice therapy, 10 days ago there was a change of manager. Leam Richardson replaced Wayne Carlslie, but that didn't bring better results either.

Leicester vs Rotherham pick: OVER 2.5 GOALS

This seems like a very safe pick. Leicester seems unstoppable and they are in a huge winning streak. This squad are the second most efficient team in the league with 44 goals scored and are capable of scoring at least two goals against every team in the league. In this match, on paper, but also in reality, they will have the easiest possible task. Rotheram is a team that has by far the weakest defense in the league and it is only a question of how many times the visitors' goalkeeper will take the ball out of his own net. It is not excluded that the guests score. Due to the great dominance, it is evident that there has been a certain Leicester relaxed attitude, which is also confirmed by the 4 conceded goals in the previous two matches. The first match between these clubs this season ended with a 2:1 victory in favor of Foxes, and we expect at least a similar number of goals in this match.
