Sunderland vs Leicester City prediction and betting tips on March 5, 2024
Game Prediction
Tuesday is traditionally considered to be the Champions League day, and the top tournament will indeed return on this date. Still, this is also the time when the next round is held in the English Championship. We highlight the game between Sunderland and Leicester City among the entire evening schedule. The website contains the author’s prediction for this confrontation on March 5, 2024.
Sunderland has noticeably slowed down this season
“The Black Cats” are a popular club, which is rich in achievements. It’s just that the last years and even decades have been difficult and downright unsuccessful. Everything could have changed in 2023, when it managed to get to 6th place in the Championship. Still, Luton won the play-offs. As for the new draw, the team, to be honest, does not succeed. The replacement of mentor did not have any effect; moreover, Beale seriously tarnished his reputation by trying to “spin” praise for himself through other people’s accounts on social networks. One way or another, the defeats continued without him. The battle against Norwich was also lost – 0-1.
Leicester City “brought” back to earth at the end of winter
“The Foxes”, after losing their registration in the Premier League in 2023, could not plan for the following season anything other than a promotion from the Championship. Generally speaking, Maresca, who had become the new mentor, was confidently moving towards the higher mentioned goal – his wards were in the lead and, it seemed, were only increasing their own advantage. Still, the season in this division is long and intense, so a decline was perhaps inevitable. As a result, it “covered” the favourite in the second half of February. First, there was an unexpected defeat at the home arena made by Middlesbrough, then the team lost to the main pursuer, Leeds. And even QPR beat the leader. At the same time, the club managed to win the cup confrontation against Bournemouth in extra time.
Previous head-to-head matches
The opponents did not have any head-to-head matches after 2017. That had been until previous October, when they finally met and “the Foxes” won with a 1-0 score at the home arena.
