Competition: Championship
Market: Leicester win
Odds: 4/7 @ 1xBet
Looking to extend on their early-season Championship flurry on Saturday afternoon, Leicester will travel to the New York Stadium when they meet Rotherham.
Starting with the hosts, while Rotherham might have just about clung to their Championship status last season, it is no secret that Matt Taylor’s men are tipped as a standout relegation contender once again. Despite extending on their EFL Cup adventure on August 8th as they edged their way past League Two outfit Morecambe, the Millers are enduring another second-tier struggle. Last seen getting hit with a 2-1 loss away at Sunderland, the Yorkshire-based outfit already sit in the drop zone and knowing that they face a huge challenge here. Opening up the 2023/24 campaign with a woeful display as they slumped to a 4-1 drumming at the hands of Stoke, Taylor’s side have once again gained a reputation for their rather glaring issues at the back. Along with mustering just a sole point from their opening three Championship appearances, Saturday’s hosts have also shipped eight strikes in those trio of second-tier contests.
As for the visitors, snatching what was a stunning last-gasp 2-1 victory at home against Cardiff last weekend, Leicester are tipped as a leading contender to book an immediate Premier League return this season. Really appearing to enjoy life under new boss Enzo Maresca, the mood around the King Power appears to be at a recent high. Opening up the 2023/24 campaign with a lively 2-1 win against last season’s play-off finalists Coventry, the one-time Manchester Coach has seen his side come flying out of the traps. In fact, winning each of their first four appearances across all formats by an aggregate score of 7-2, Leicester should be relishing a trip to Yorkshire this weekend. One of just two clubs alongside Ipswich who can boast a 100% start after three games, the Foxes are rightfully seen as a runaway pick here. Two sides who are expected to be battling it out at the foot of the Championship standings this season, we are backing what could be an enjoyable away victory.
