West Brom vs Leicester City

West Brom welcome Leicester City to the Hawthorns for a Friday night English Championship fixture.

Both teams are looking to maintain their playoff push, but the hosts are looking a bit off colour lately. Meanwhile, the visitors are doing some good work on their travels and can avoid defeat in Friday's clash.

West Brom News

West Brom suffered a 2-1 defeat at Middlesbrough in their previous Championship fixture. They fell two goals down before Aune Heggebo pulled one back late in the encounter.

That was the second straight defeat for West Brom, who have now slipped just outside the playoff places. Ryan Mason's team have also been unconvincing at home lately and are winless in their last three matches at the Hawthorns.

Among the problems for West Brom this season is a lack of discipline at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in five of their last six matches across all competitions. However, they have scored in six of their last seven matches in all competitions.

Leicester City News

Leicester City were held to a 0-0 home draw by Coventry City last time out in the Championship. That result means Marti Cifuentes' team are unbeaten in five of their six league matches this season and keeps them in the early mix for the playoffs.

The Foxes have also done some good work on their travels and are unbeaten in their last two Championship away matches. They claimed a 1-0 victory at Charlton Athletic before a 2-2 draw at Oxford United in their previous fixture on the road.

Leicester City have scored in six of their last seven matches across all competitions, while also winning at least one half in three of the last four fixtures. However, they are without a clean sheet in three of their last four away matches in all competitions.

Head to Head

Leicester have nine wins while West Brom have picked up seven victories, with four draws in the last 20 matches. The visitors did the double the last time both teams met in the Championship back in 2023-24, with both fixtures ending in a 2-1 victory.

Verdict

West Brom v Leicester

Leicester City are unbeaten in their last five meetings and have also not been defeated in their last two away matches. They have the quality to earn a win or draw against West Brom, who are looking unconvincing lately.

Both teams have scored in their last two meetings and could be set for a repeat here. With Leicester City winning at least one half in three of their last four matches, a similar pattern could be on the cards here.
