West Brom vs Leicester City Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | EFL Championship 2025-26

The previous confrontation between these clubs ended in favour of the Foxes.

West Bromwich Albion are ready to host Leicester City for the matchweek 7 fixture of the EFL Championship 2025-26 season. The interesting contest between these clubs will take place at the Hawthorns.

The Baggies will be at home for their upcoming fixture, and it is going to be one of their advantages. West Bromwich Albion are coming in after facing a defeat at the hands of Middlesbrough in their previous league fixture. It was an underwhelming performance by them.

Leicester City were held to a goalless draw by Coventry City in their last EFL Championship fixture. The Foxes haven’t been able to secure a win in any of their last two matches. They will be the visiting team for their next match.

They will be keen on securing a win here, but it is not going to be an easy contest for them.
