Leicester City form

Leicester City will reach the midway point of the Championship season on Saturday with the goal of maintaining their historic start to the second-tier campaign and securing promotion to the Premier League in an impressive manner. The team, led by Enzo Maresca, has already accumulated 55 points from their first 22 league matches. They have achieved 18 wins, suffered just three defeats, and scored 44 goals, while also conceding the least number of goals (16) compared to other teams. In early November, Leicester City experienced a slight setback with back-to-back losses against Middlesbrough and Leeds United, temporarily slipping behind Ipswich Town in the standings. However, they have since recovered and gained 16 points from their last six matches. Despite a 1-1 draw against Sheffield Wednesday, the team rebounded with four consecutive victories, including wins over West Bromwich Albion, Plymouth Argyle, Millwall, and Birmingham City. Currently, they are three points ahead of second-placed Ipswich Town and 13 points above the chasing pack. Leicester City aims to extend their winning streak to five matches and continue their impressive journey towards promotion to the Premier League.

Rotherham United form

Rotherham United, currently positioned at the bottom of the division, face a challenging situation as they travel to the Midlands to take on their opponents. They have only managed to secure 13 points from 22 games so far this season, with just two victories. In late October, their most recent win occurred, but their form declined, and they had only 11 points when their manager, Matt Taylor, was dismissed during the November international break. Wayne Carlisle temporarily took charge of the team, leading them to two draws and two defeats by the beginning of December. In their efforts to move up the league table and avoid relegation, Rotherham turned to Leam Richardson to take over as manager. Unfortunately, their fortunes have not improved under him, as they suffered three consecutive losses, including a 2-0 defeat to West Bromwich Albion at home and a disappointing 3-2 loss to Plymouth Argyle, where Morgan Whittaker scored a last-minute winner. Rotherham United now find themselves three points behind Sheffield Wednesday, who are in 23rd place, and nine points from safety after 22 games. Their aim is to defy the odds and secure a victory under Richardson's leadership to avoid falling further behind in the relegation battle.
