Leicester vs West Brom Betting Tips as Championship Strugglers Face-Off

Tonight’s big Championship game is being billed as ‘El Sackico’ as many feel the losing manager from either Leicester City or West Brom will be given their marching orders straight after – we’ll see.

So, with that in mind, we look at the best Leicester City vs West Brom betting tips, to see which boss might be spared (for now anyway) or potentially sacked.

Leicester City vs West Brom – Championship Strugglers Face-Off At The King Power Stadium

The Monday Night football will be a big game for both Leicester City manager Martí Cifuentes and West Brom coach Ryan Mason – with both Championship bosses under big pressure at the moment.

Backed up with the duo currently first and second favourites in the Championship sack race betting odds market.

Having dropped out of the Premier League last season, many felt Leicester would be big favourites to come back up.

However, the Foxes have struggled in the English second tier – having lost as many games (nine) as they’ve won.

They sit 14th on 34 before Monday’s clash with West Brom, who are four places behind them in 18th on 31 points.

At home this season in the league, Leicester have won five of their 12 games (3 defeats).

But the good news for the Foxes is they will face a West Brom side that have lost TEN of their 13 away league games (3 wins, 0 draws) this season.

So, in what is likely to be a tense game, that is even expected to see a Leicester City fans boycott – what are the best Leicester vs West Brom betting tips to take into the game?

Okay, advising betting tips when two struggling teams are playing is harder than a woodpecker’s lips.

As, really with the added pressure on both managers – it’s a really tough game to call.

This is also backed up in the match betting odds, as the layers are making this game as tight as they come (see below).

While to add further substance to how close this game might be – the sides met at The Hawthorns earlier this season and that ended in a 1-1 draw.

You can back another 1-1- correct score at 11/2.

However, there might still be an angle in here – as recent H2Hs between the sides do suggest we favour the home side.

Why?

Foxes Eight Games Unbeaten Against WBA

Well, Leicester will come into the game EIGHT games unbeaten against West Brom – with the last time they lost to The Baggies in the Premier League in 2016.

From these recent eight H2H’s, Leicester have also won SIX and drawn just two.

Including winning their last two home games against West Brom – 2-1 and 3-0.

Therefore, the 13/8 on a Leicester win looks fair value.

While the more cautious might prefer to side with Leicester/Draw at 1/2 in the ‘Double Chance’ market.

A Foxes win can also ease the pressure on boss Martí Cifuentes in the next Leicester manager odds market.

But in contrast, a defeat for the Baggies will see the next West Brom manager odds betting hot up.

With former Manchester United player Michael Carrick one of the front runners in both markets.
