Leicester vs Swansea prediction 30.01.2024.

• Competition: Championship
• Date: Tuesday, 30th January 2024
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
• Venue: King Power Stadium (Leicester)

Leicester are on a good course to return to the strongest English football league. Almost from the beginning of the 2023/24 season, they are at the Championship leading spot. Currently, the Foxes are seven points ahead of the first team behind them, Ipswich. Leicester are playing well in the last few months as they lost only one of the last 14 matches in all competitions. In the previous game, Leicester won 3-0 at home in the FA Cup versus Birmingham. Still, if we dive a little deeper into the stats, we will see that the home side had xG of only 0.82, while guests had 1.38 so that win shouldn't be with that big margin. 

Swansea have another underwhelming season. They had plans to fight for the playoff spot, but after 28 rounds, it seems that mid-table is a much more realistic goal for the 2023/24. Swansea have not won in the last three matches. In the previous game, they lost 5-0 on the road in the FA Cup against Bournemouth. The home team dominated from the start, and amazingly, they scored all five goals in the first half. In the second half, Swansea completely gave up, but luckily for them, Bournemouth couldn't find the net for the sixth time. 

Leicester vs Swansea pick: Over 2.5 goals 

Both teams are playing high-scoring matches lately. Leicester went over 2.5 goals in four of the last five matches, while Swansea went over 2.5 goals in each of the previous three games. Over 2.5 goals should be the best bet for this tie.
