Leicester City vs West Brom

Leicester City welcome West Brom to the King Power Stadium for a Monday night English Championship fixture, with both teams looking out of sorts lately.

While both sides are below their best lately, the Foxes will take confidence from some key home results in recent weeks. They should do enough to avoid defeat against the visitors, who have found things difficult on their travels this season.

Leicester City News

Leicester City have not been at their best lately and are currently in the bottom half of the table. Marti Cifuentes’ team have picked up just two wins from their last five matches and were beaten 3-1 at Sheffield United in their previous fixture.

While things are generally tough, Leicester City have done some good work at home lately, winning three of their last five matches at the King Power Stadium. Among their results on this run is a 3-1 victory over second-placed Ipswich Town.

Poor defending has been one of the problems for Leicester City, who have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last nine home matches. However, they have scored in eight of those fixtures, while the last five matches on this run have produced over 2.5 goals.

West Brom News

West Brom are also struggling at the moment and sit three points below the hosts. They have lost three of their last four matches, including a 1-0 defeat at Swansea in their previous Championship fixture.

One of the major issues plaguing West Brom this season is an abysmal record on their travels. Ryan Mason's team have lost their last nine away matches in the Championship.

Like the hosts, poor defending has also been a problem for West Brom, who are without a clean sheet in their last nine away matches. However, they have scored in eight of their last 10 fixtures, with six of those matches also producing over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Leicester have seven wins and four draws, while West Brom have picked up just one victory in the last 12 matches. The hosts have also earned four wins in the last five meetings and played out a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture back in September.

Verdict

Leicester v West Brom

Leicester have earned a few impressive results at home lately and also boast a solid record in this fixture. They have enough quality to claim a win or draw against West Brom, who have lost their last nine away matches.

Neither defence has been convincing lately, and with both teams scoring in their last three meetings, a repeat is expected here. With Leicester City’s last five home matches producing over 2.5 goals, a similar outcome could also be on the cards.
