Championship
Leicester City vs West Bromwich Albion Prediction – Monday 5th January 2026
Leicester host West Brom at the King Power Stadium on Monday night, with viewers likely to be treated to an open and exciting EFL Championship clash.
The Foxes slumped to a disappointing 3-1 defeat to Sheffield United on New Year’s Day and fans will be hoping for a much improved performance as they return to home soil.
Leicester have recorded back-to-back wins on home turf in recent weeks and football betting punters who like to focus on home form vs away form will notice a clear discrepancy on that front when it comes to the Foxes.
Defensively, they can be found wanting though and they have conceded in each of their previous 19 matches in all competitions. That brings both teams to score into play and this has landed in 100% of their home games in the 2025/26 season.
Leicester City vs West Bromwich Albion Odds:
- Leicester – 17/10
- Draw – 21/10
- West Brom – 6/4
Similarly, West Brom have enjoyed life on home soil this campaign while struggling on their travels. With just one away victory since the end of August, the Baggies will need a bit of luck to go their way to claim three points at the King Power on Monday night.
The majority of West Bromwich Albion’s away fixtures have been close affairs, with under 1.5 goals in seven of their 13 league matches on the road. Could we see another tight and low-scoring contest this evening? I’m not convinced.
Given Leicester’s prowess going forward and their leaky defensive unit, and throwing in the fact that West Brom offer a real threat from set-pieces, it may prove prudent to go with the over line in this contest.
Leicester vs West Brom prediction: Over 2.5 goals (EVS)
Leicester vs West Brom score prediction: Leicester 2-1 West Brom (7/1)
