Leicester City - Rotherham United predictions

Kickoff starts at 16:00 on 23/12/2023 played @ King Power Stadium refereed by Darren Bond

No matter how you look at it, the outcome of this matchup isn’t much of a toss-up in terms of betting predictions. Leicester City are very hard favourites, and it would take a miracle for Rotherham United to manage an upset.

With a matchup like this, it seems like we already know the outcome. Rotherham stand little chance of achieving anything except an appearance. Most bookies price an away win for this match at 19.00, marking an insurmountable difference.

The narrow victory that the game’s hosts recorded in the previous round was quite expected. Most bookmakers online priced such an outcome at 7.00 despite the home-field disadvantage, and they delivered a solid 2:3 win after staying ahead throughout the match.

The top online bookmakers considered Rotherham to be clear underdogs in their previous match against Plymouth Argyle, so the away loss is no surprise. Still, they maintained an even score until half-time and only lost by a 1-goal difference (3:2).

A quick look at the recent trends reveals a solid record for The Foxes, who have managed to score 5 times in their previous 3 matches. This means that markets like BTTS or Over 5 Goals are worth your attention.

A quick look at the visiting team’s recent history tells us a lot about their weaknesses. Specifically, we’re talking about the fact that they’ve allowed more than 5 goals over their 3 most recent Championship outings.

Looking at the previous time these squads clashed in this season, it’s no surprise that Leicester are the favourites. They managed to grab a narrow win playing as visitors, and it’s quite reasonable to expect them to do the same as the hosts.

With no injuries or suspensions to deal with, both teams will be able to give their all this Saturday.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.53, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
