Huddersfield Town vs Leicester City Prediction: Leicester will be looking to win two out of two games at the start of the season

Huddersfield Town will welcome Leicester City at Kirklees Stadium in Gameweek 2 of the English Championship. Leicester will be looking to win two out of two games at the start of the season. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

Huddersfield Town experienced a strong finish to the 2022-23 season, with Neil Warnock leading the team to an 18th place finish in the Championship. This ensured their safety in the league, thanks in part to three consecutive victories. As a result, Warnock agreed to stay with the club for another year and began preparations for the new season with friendly matches against Tavistock and Heerenveen. However, their campaign got off to a difficult start, losing 3-1 to Plymouth Argyle in their opening league game, despite Michal Helik's goal. They then faced Middlesbrough in the EFL Cup and initially took the lead through Kian Harratt, but were eventually defeated 3-2 after Jaheim Headley's red card. With a desire to bounce back from these setbacks, Huddersfield Town will seek their first points of the season in their upcoming home league match. However, achieving this objective will not be an easy task.

The visitors, Leicester City, have recently been relegated from the Premier League and are eager to continue their positive start under new management. Last season's relegation, just seven years after winning the top-flight title, prompted the Leicester City hierarchy to appoint Enzo Maresca as their manager. Maresca's main goal is to guide the team back to the Premier League immediately. In preparation for the upcoming season, Leicester City secured a friendly win against Northampton Town and faced a 4-0 defeat against Liverpool. Their league campaign began with a home match against Coventry City, where they initially fell behind but managed to draw level and secure a late victory. Following this, Maresca's team competed in the EFL Cup, defeating Burton Albion 2-0. This victory has brought renewed optimism among the players and staff, and they are determined to continue their winning streak and establish themselves as one of the top teams in the second tier of English football in the upcoming weeks.

Although Huddersfield must display determination and self-control in their own stadium, it is unlikely that they possess adequate means to repel a Leicester team abundant in skill and displaying assurance under their recently appointed manager. We expect the visitors Leicester to come away with three points with over 2.5 goals in the game.
