West Brom vs Leicester City Preview: Promotion Rivals Clash at The Hawthorns

On September 26, 2025, West Brom hosts the Leicester Foxes at The Hawthorns in a match between two top Championship teams.

Both teams are separated by just a single point in the table, with Leicester being better positioned (4th place) than West Brom (7th place).

A Balanced Clash for Critical Promotion Points

West Brom has the chance to defeat one of its promotion rivals in a match that promises to be very evenly-matched. Both teams have had roughly similar performances in their recent games. Leicester appears to be slightly ahead of West Brom, but probably not enough to completely nullify the home-field advantage.

West Brom's Mixed Results

West Brom's last two matches were two narrow defeats, at home against Derby and away to Middlesbrough. The Baggies recently managed an away win against Stoke (currently 2nd in the league), but they have had several setbacks, with the home loss to Derby being particularly hard to swallow.

West Brom's goal difference is negative over their last 10 matches. The team has scored 16 goals but has conceded 18. However, they have a minimal positive goal difference (+1) for this Championship season overall.

Leicester's Steady Form

Leicester appears to be in slightly better form, even if their last two matches were just draws (against Oxford and Coventry). The Foxes won an important match against Birmingham but dropped points at home against Coventry (0-0). In contrast, they have managed to maintain a positive goal difference (17-14) in recent games, including in the Championship.

The Baggies have more prolific attackers, such as Isaac Price and Karlan Grant (both with 4 goals), whereas Leicester's top scorer in recent matches is Abdul Fatawu Issahaku with 3 goals.

Our Prediction

Both teams are motivated to gather points. Even though West Brom might seem like a slight favorite on paper, it's difficult to say who will come out on top. We are leaning towards a draw or a Leicester victory (the Foxes have a clear lead in head-to-head results), but it seems quite certain that both teams will score.
