Leicester City vs Watford Prediction and Betting Tips | November 25th 2023

Leicester City will host Watford at the King Power Stadium on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 Championship campaign.

The home side have enjoyed a brilliant league campaign and are early promotion favourites despite their recent struggles. They were beaten 1-0 by Middlesbrough last time out, squandering good chances to open the scoring before Sam Greenwood scored a stunning free-kick late in the game to hand Boro all three points.

Leicester remain atop the Championship standings with 39 points from 16 games. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and get their campaign back on track this weekend.

Watford, meanwhile, are playing well at the moment after a difficult start to their season and remain hopeful of securing playoff football at the end of the campaign. They thrashed Rotherham United 5-0 in their last match, with four different players getting on the scoresheet in a clinical performance including summer arrival Mileta Rajovic.

The visitors sit mid-table in 13th place with 21 points picked up so far and will be looking to add to that tally when they play on Saturday.
