Leicester City welcome West Bromwich Albion to the King Power in a matchup that profiles as open and goal-friendly based on both teams’ recent numbers, with 2-1 our predicted outcome. The Foxes head into their second game of the year after a 3–1 defeat to Sheffield United, but there are no fresh injury concerns, and Jordan Ayew is pushing for a start, which could add directness and physicality in the final third. Leicester's home form is clearly stronger than their away performances: 1.80 points per game at home, winning 60% of matches. However, defensively they remain extremely vulnerable — Leicester have 0 clean sheets, concede 2.10 goals per game overall, and have seen BTTS land in 90% of their matches (100% at home).
West Brom are a team with two faces, with the team producing fine performances at home while struggling on the travels. At The Hawthorns they are solid, but on the road they have been disastrous: 0 points from away matches, 0% win rate, and 2.20 goals conceded per away game. The Baggies come off a narrow 1–0 loss, but Alfie Gilchrist’s return from suspension should slightly stabilise the back line. Still, WBA’s away xGA (1.47) and clean-sheet rate (0% away) underline how fragile they are defensively. Offensively, they are not toothless, scoring 1.00 goal per away game and posting a respectable away expected goals of 1.39.
Backed by Leicester’s 3.8 goals per game overall and 75% Over 2.5 in H2H, we believe that there is big value in betting on Over 2.5 goals, alongside BTTS (Leicester: 90% BTTS overall; West Brom: 60% BTTS away) and Home WIn.
This Championship match will be played on Monday 5 January 2026 at 20:00.
