Match description
Leicester are the clear favorites: the visitors have scored 53 goals this season and average 1.25 goals away with an average xG of 1.23 and a conversion rate of 12%, whereas Sheffield have 24 goals this season and record only 0.5 goals at home on average with xG 1.05 and a 5% conversion. Defensively Sheffield look very weak — they concede an average of 2.05 goals per home match and 81 goals overall, while Leicester concede 1.6 away and 62 goals in total; despite similar average xG against (1.65 vs 1.66) the hosts actually let in more goals. Form underlines the gap: Sheffield average 0.2 points per match in the last 5 (0 wins, 1 draw, 4 losses) scoring 3 and conceding 10, while Leicester average 1.2 points per match in the last 5 (1 win, 3 draws, 1 loss) with a 6-6 goal record. The visitors also create more opportunities — on average 3.8 shots on target and 10.75 total shots per match versus Sheffield’s 2.5 on target and 9.45 total, and the hosts failed to score in 60% of home fixtures compared to only 15% of Leicester’s away games. Considering the higher efficiency (12% vs 5%), greater number of shots on target (3.8 vs 2.5) and the hosts’ significantly worse form and defense, I forecast a Leicester win.
