Leicester City vs West Bromwich Albion Prediction and Betting Tips | 20th April 2024

After suffering back-to-back defeats, Leicester City will look to reignite their promotion hopes as they welcome West Bromwich Albion to the King Power Stadium on Saturday.

Leicester Cty squandered a chance to rise to the top of the Championship table last weekend as they let a comparatively weaker Plymouth Argyle pick up an unlikely 1-0 win.

Leicester dominated possession and created more chances than their opponents but Mustapha Bundu's 21st-minute goal proved to be the difference between the two sides. Although the Foxes have lost their last two matches, league leaders Ipswich Town failed to pull away by settling for successive draws themselves.

Meanwhile, West Bromwich had a 10-game unbeaten streak in the Championship snapped last Saturday as Sunderland came visiting. The Black Cats beat 10-men West Brom 1-0 at the Hawthorns.

Fifth in the table, West Brom have won just one of their last five league matches. Carlos Corberan's side can make it to the playoffs. Norwich City are right behind them at sixth with 71 points, one short of the Baggies' haul.

West Brom's form on the road has been a major cause for concern in their efforts to return to the Premier League. They have been victorious in only six of their 21 away matches in the league this season and will be looking to improve on that record this Saturday as they travel to take on Leicester City.
