Based on last 50 matches in "England. Premier League", up to 03/14/2021
To build a prediction for the Leicester - Sheffield Utd match, scheduled for 14 March 2021, several key factors could influence the outcome. Leicester have played 50 matches, in which they won 22 of them, drew 11 times and lost 17 matches. Sheffield Utd, having played 50 matches, won 13 times, drew 7 matches and lost 30 defeats. In the league, Leicester average 1.5 goals scored per game and 1.3 conceded. Sheffield Utd average 0.7 scored and 1.4 conceded. These sides last met on 5 December 2020 at Sheffield Utd's ground, where the away side proved stronger.
I understand the odds are low, but given the absence of the key goalscorers for the Citizens and Sheffield's poor squad, the most we can expect from this match is a goal from the hosts.
I think Leicester will score 2 goals; they are fighting for qualification for the Champions League.
