West Bromwich Albion vs Leicester City Preview, Prediction and Betting Tips: Leicester's Horrific Away Record to Continue at the Hawthorns

Match Preview – 15:00 Kick-Off at The Hawthorns, West Brom

West Bromwich Albion are on a wretched run and have won just once in their last 7 Premier League games. The Baggies still sit in a respectable 8th position, but they haven’t even managed to score a goal in their last 4 outings and have actually only scored in 1 of their last 7 fixtures – a resounding 3-1 defeat of Arsenal in mid-March.

Leicester City haven’t won in 5 games; the Champions League double header with Atletico Madrid was an understandable source of distraction for a side dreaming of European glory. The current Premier League champions have won just 1 game in April and have slipped back down the table into 15th position, just 6 points clear of the drop zone.

In the reverse fixture between the sides, West Bromwich Albion won 2-1 at Leicester thanks to goals from James Morrison and Matt Phillips. Read our West Bromwich Albion vs Leicester City betting tips below.

West Bromwich Albion vs Leicester City Predictions

Leicester City have been absolutely horrific away from home this season, winning just 1 of their 17 Premier League games on the road. West Bromwich Albion have lost 3 of their last 4 games at the Hawthorns but I think Tony Pulis’ side have the right sort of tactical set-up to frustrate the visitors on Saturday. I fancy West Bromwich Albion to nick this by the narrowest of margins.

William Hill have odds of 9/2 for West Bromwich Albion to win and under 2.5 goals to be scored on the day which looks a solid selection. The same bookmaker has odds of 6/4 for WBA to win the game outright which are also decent.
