2025-11-29 - Leicester City vs Sheffield Utd
A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : England: Championship
Venue: King Power Stadium
Saturday 29th November 2025, 1230hrs (GMT)
Leicester City slipped into their recent worrying ways in the Championship in midweek when The Foxes were handed a heavy 3-0 loss away from home at Southampton which also became a fourth loss in seven games in the second tier for the Saturday lunchtime hosts.
Despite recent back-to-back wins against Norwich City and Stoke City, defeats to the likes of Hull City, Millwall, Blackburn Rovers and aforementioned Southampton have overshadowed The Foxes’ minimal successes in recent weeks.
Leicester City manager, Marti Cifuentes, therefore has a real job on his hands to lift the spirits of an average looking Foxes outfit for this upcoming encounter with Sheffield United, but the fact remains that the hosts have lost just once at home so far this season.
Sheffield United climbed out of the bottom three in the Championship table thanks to The Blades’ midweek 3-0 home win against Portsmouth which in turn extended the visitors’ unbeaten run to three league games.
Chris Wilder’s side had previously slipped to three losses on the trot having come off second-best at the hands of Preston NE, Derby County and Coventry City respectively, but recent results have seen Sheffield United turn things around.
A point gained by way of a 0-0 stalemate at home with QPR was followed by a resounding and hugely satisfying 3-0 win away from home at local derby neighbours Sheffield Wednesday in the Steel City derby, so the Yorkshire club will make their way to the King Power Stadium in confident mood.
The Betting Verdict
Leicester City have had the upper hand over Sheffield United in previous exchanges, winning the last seven meetings on the trot. However, current form suggests Sheffield United stand a decent chance of picking up at least a point here.
