Prediction published on Jan 3, 2026 9:02 PM by Dario in England - Championship | Modified on Jan 3, 2026 9:02 PM

The Championship action continues on Monday night as Leicester City host West Bromwich Albion at the King Power Stadium. Both sides are looking to climb the table after inconsistent runs of form, with Leicester currently sitting 13th and West Brom in 18th place. The home side’s push for promotion has been far from straightforward, while the visitors are desperate to end a worrying sequence of away defeats.


Leicester City’s Recent Form and Key Stats


Leicester City have endured a mixed campaign so far, recording 9 wins, 7 draws and 9 losses in the Championship. Their attacking output has been decent, averaging 1.4 goals per game, but defensive issues persist with 1.5 goals conceded on average. The Foxes’ recent 3-1 defeat at Sheffield United on January 1 highlighted their ongoing struggles at the back, as they conceded early and only managed a late consolation goal.


At home, Leicester have been unpredictable, with five wins, four draws and three defeats. However, they tend to start strongly, having led at half time in 9 of their last 14 home matches. Their games have been consistently entertaining, with Over 1.5 goals scored in each of their last 13 league fixtures and Over 2.5 goals in the last 11. The Foxes have also conceded at least once in their last 19 Championship matches, underlining the need for defensive improvement.



  • Leicester City’s last 5 matches: 2 wins, 0 draws, 3 defeats.

  • Average goals scored: 1.6; conceded: 2.2.

  • Over 0.5 goals at half time in the last 10 matches.

  • Unbeaten in the last 5 head-to-head meetings with West Brom (4 wins, 1 draw).


Despite their inconsistency, Leicester’s attacking approach and home advantage make them a dangerous opponent. Their ability to find the net regularly, even in defeat, suggests that another high-scoring encounter could be on the cards.


West Bromwich Albion’s Recent Form and Key Stats


West Bromwich Albion have endured a difficult season, particularly away from home. Their record of 9 wins, 4 draws and 12 losses reflects a campaign of ups and downs, with a worrying trend on their travels. The Baggies have lost their last nine away matches in the Championship, a run that has severely hampered their progress. Their most recent trip ended in a 1-0 defeat to Swansea City on January 1, despite registering seven shots on target.


In total, West Brom have scored just 12 goals in 13 away games, averaging 1.1 goals per match overall while conceding 1.3. Their last five fixtures mirror Leicester’s pattern, with two wins and three defeats, but their inability to convert chances away from home remains a major concern. The Baggies’ early-season promise, when they won three of their first four away games, has long faded.



  • West Brom’s last 5 matches: 2 wins, 0 draws, 3 defeats.

  • Average goals scored: 1.0; conceded: 1.0.

  • Lost their last 9 away league matches.

  • Last head-to-head: 1-1 draw on September 26, 2025.


West Brom’s challenge will be to rediscover their early-season resilience and find a way to end their travel woes. Their defensive structure has improved slightly, but their lack of cutting edge in front of goal continues to cost them valuable points.


Leicester City vs West Bromwich Albion Analysis and Prediction


This fixture brings together two sides with contrasting home and away fortunes. Leicester City have been strong offensively but leaky at the back, while West Bromwich Albion have struggled to score on the road. The Foxes’ attacking consistency, combined with the Baggies’ poor away form, suggests that the hosts are likely to dominate possession and create more chances.


Historically, Leicester have enjoyed this matchup, remaining unbeaten in their last five meetings with West Brom and averaging over two goals per game in that span. Given the statistical trends, another open contest is expected, with both teams likely to find the net. Leicester’s home advantage and superior attacking numbers could prove decisive in securing all three points.


For fans and bettors alike, the data points toward a lively encounter. Leicester’s tendency to concede but also score freely, coupled with West Brom’s need to respond after a poor run, makes the Both Teams To Score market particularly appealing. However, the Foxes’ stronger overall form and head-to-head dominance give them the edge.
