Leicester v West Brom Tips

A game where Leicester must win. I mean they are in bad shape for sure. Goals should be an option here as well, but WBA are a team who play very badly away and don't score goals away very often, which will make it rough for goals.

West Brom possesses the defensive discipline and set-piece efficiency to exploit Leicester’s recent injury crisis and secure a substantively justified surprise away win tonight.

Leicester host West Brom in a Championship playoff six-pointer, and this has 'draw' written all over it between two evenly matched sides. Both are pushing for automatic spots with solid defenses but blunt attacks lately. Recent meetings have seen plenty of stalemates, including 0-0 and 1-1 draws. Neither wants to lose ground??'backing points shared in a cagey affair.

The last two away games for West Bromwich Albion have finished with under 2.5 goals scored. A low-scoring game looks a decent bet here.

With good value, even though I will go against the will here for WBA. They are a team that do not score a lot of goals when playing away. But Leicester is the one scoring and conceding goals in the last couple of matches.

Leicester City host West Brom at the King Power Stadium in a big Championship playoff battle, and I'm backing both teams to score in what should be an entertaining, open game. The Foxes have been dangerous at home with Jamie Vardy and Abdul Fatawu creating plenty of chances, but their defence has looked shaky lately??'conceding in most recent matches??'while West Brom are one of the division's best away sides for goals scored, carrying real threat through Grady Diangana, Josh Maja and Tom Fellows on the counter. Carlos Corberán's men have found the net in nearly all their road games this season, and the last five head-to-heads have seen BTTS land four times, including high-scoring draws and wins. Both managers favour attacking football when chasing points, so expect chances at both ends rather than a shutout ??' BTTS yes looks excellent value in a fixture that rarely disappoints for goals.

West Brom are terrible away from home and have lost their last nine away games in the Championship. Five of those nine defeats have seen them also fail to score, including their last two away games. I don't fancy West Brom to score, so BTTS No looks a decent bet.

Leicester are stronger at home, showing flashes of quality and intensity. West Brom struggle for goals on the road and lack cutting edge. If Leicester control midfield and tempo, they can dominate territory and see out a deserved clean-sheet victory.

If Wildsmith starts for West Brom, it will tilt the match towards Leicester, despite their own defensive frailty. Expect James to exploit the weak West Brom midfield. However, Heggebo will likely punish Leicester's weak defence to keep it competitive. Back Leicester to win and BTTS.

Leicester come into this one on the back of a loss away to Sheffield United but meet an Albion side on a poor run and a wretched away record this term. At 5/1, the Foxes look a bit of value in this particular market.
