The72’s writers offer their Leicester City vs West Brom prediction ahead of their Championship clash on Saturday afternoon.
Leicester City come into this weekend’s game after losing 1-0 away to Plymouth Argyle.
The Foxes dominated throughout but were unable to recover from Mustapha Bundu’s first goal in the 21st minute. Enzo Maresca’s team is second in the table with a game in hand after losing three of their past five league games.
“Maresca’s side have been dominant in their recent losses, but have struggled to find the target when it matters. Having said that, they surely can’t keep blundering in front of goal as they have been doing.
“The Baggies will feel capable of grabbing a result at the King Power Stadium, and they are in need of a response, but I can’t envisage it being that straightforward for them.
“I think the hosts will return to winning ways on this occasion, albeit by narrow margins.”
“The inconceivable is occurring to Leicester City. They were in command at the top of the table, and after two consecutive victories, they appeared to have regained their form.
“However, consecutive setbacks put them at risk of a historic collapse. The Foxes will also face a difficult match.
“West Brom will be anxious for a response following a dismal setback last time out, but they remain in a strong position and should still be in contention for the play-offs.
“Leicester absolutely have to respond, but I think this might end level.”
