Winning Start for Cifuentes?

Leicester’s stay in the top tier lasted just one year, as City were relegated from the Premier League. It was a tough campaign for all involved, with the Foxes picking up just six wins from 38 league games.

Winning promotion back to the top flight is the aim, but it could be another tough year for the Midlands club. Marti Cifuentes, who was most recently in charge of Queens Park Rangers, is the new boss at the King Power. The Spaniard would love to hit the ground running.

Sheffield Wednesday had a solid season in the Championship last time around, collecting 58 points from 46 league fixtures. The Owls were aiming for the play-offs but missed out by ten points in the end.

The club enter this season in turmoil due to off-field financial issues, which will surely impact their performance on the pitch. New manager Henrik Pedersen has a huge job on his hands at Hillsborough, and Wednesday are one of the relegation favourites.

Leicester City vs Sheffield Wednesday Betting Odds

Leicester go into this home fixture as the massive favourites. City should get up and running with a comfortable three points, with the home win priced at 1.13.

With the ongoing problems, it will be a miracle if Sheffield Wednesday pick up a positive result at the King Power. The away win is available at 19.00, and you can get 7.80 for the draw.
