Sheffield Wednesday will host Leicester City at the Hillsborough Stadium on Monday in another round of the 2025-26 EFL Championship campaign. Monday’s game features two teams in the Championship drop zone, although their fortunes contrast, with the home side having confirmed relegation since February, while the visitors remain in a dogfight to secure survival.

Wednesday’s woes this season continued on Friday as they suffered a 2-0 defeat away at Stoke City, although they produced one of their best performances of the season in the second half of the contest. Currently sitting on -6 points, the Owls’ primary focus will now be to end the season with a positive points tally.

Leicester City, meanwhile, have endured one of the most disappointing campaigns in the second tier this season and are yet to find their feet under new boss Gary Rowett as the threat of relegation looms larger.

A brace from Patson Daka earned Leicester a point in their 2-2 draw with Preston North End on Friday. However, they will perhaps feel they deserved more from the game, having dominated proceedings for much of the contest and created the better chances.

Sheffield Wednesday vs Leicester City Prediction

The Owls are on a wretched 35-game winless run stretching back to late September and will need something quite special to break their duck this weekend.

The Foxes are winless in their last three matches and have won just one of their last 15. They are also without a win in their last 10 away matches, but remain clear favorites for this one due to their superior squad quality, and should come out on top here.

Prediction: Sheffield Wednesday 0-1 Leicester City
