Leicester City F.C. vs West Bromwich Albion F.C. Prediction 5 January 2026
Added on 03 January, 2026
On Monday evening, the Championship’s 24th round brings us a clash between Leicester City and West Bromwich Albion.
With 34 points and a goal difference of 35–37, Leicester currently sit 13th in the table — a position that clearly falls short of their ambition to return to the Premier League after just one season away. The Foxes come into this match on the back of a 3–1 defeat to Sheffield United, and their recent form has been far from convincing. Losses to Ipswich (1–3), QPR (1–4), and Watford (1–2), along with a narrow win over Derby (2–1), underline their inconsistency.
West Bromwich Albion are also struggling for momentum. Their recent run includes defeats to Hull (0–1), Bristol City (1–2), and Swansea City (0–1), with only a win over QPR (2–1) offering brief relief. Sitting 18th with 31 points and a goal difference of 28–33, Carlos Corberán’s side are uncomfortably close to the relegation battle.
Both teams tend to look much stronger on home soil, but West Brom’s away record is particularly concerning — ten losses in thirteen away matches tell their own story. Given those numbers, Leicester should feel confident about avoiding defeat here.
