Championship Strugglers Face-Off At The King Power Stadium<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Monday Night football will be a big game for both Leicester City manager Mart\u00ed Cifuentes and West Brom coach Ryan Mason &#8211; with both Championship bosses under big pressure at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>Backed up with the duo currently first and second favourites in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/championship-sack-race-odds-2025-2026\/\">Championship sack race betting odds<\/a> market.<\/p>\n<p>Having dropped out of the Premier League last season, many felt Leicester would be big favourites to come back up.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Foxes have struggled in the English second tier &#8211; having lost as many games (nine) as they&#8217;ve won.<\/p>\n<p>They sit 14th on 34 before Monday&#8217;s clash with West Brom, who are four places behind them in 18th on 31 points.<\/p>\n<p>At home this season in the league, Leicester have won five of their 12 games (3 defeats).<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>So, in what is likely to be a tense game, that is even expected to see a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/leicester-fans-boycott-west-brom-game\/\">Leicester City fans boycott<\/a> &#8211;

it&#8217;s a really tough game to call.<\/p>\n<p>This is also backed up in the match betting odds, as the layers are making this game as tight as they come <em>(see below).<\/em><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Match Odds &#8211;

the sides met at The Hawthorns earlier this season and that ended in a 1-1 draw.<\/p>\n<p>You can back another 1-1- correct score at 11\/2.<\/p>\n<p>However, there might still be an angle in here &#8211; as recent H2Hs between the sides do suggest we favour the home side.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Foxes Eight Games Unbeaten Against WBA<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Well, Leicester will come into the game EIGHT games unbeaten against West Brom &#8211;

2-1 and 3-0.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the 13\/8 on a Leicester win looks fair value.<\/p>\n<p>While the more cautious might prefer to side with Leicester\/Draw at 1\/2 in the &#8216;Double Chance&#8217; market.<\/p>\n<p>A Foxes win can also ease the pressure on boss Mart\u00ed Cifuentes in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/next-leicester-manager-betting-odds\/\">next Leicester manager odds<\/a> market.<\/p>\n<p>But in contrast, a defeat for the Baggies will see the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/next-west-brom-manager-betting-odds\/\">next West Brom manager odds<\/a> betting hot up.<\/p>\n<p>With former Manchester United player Michael Carrick one of the front runners in both markets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BEST BET: LEICESTER Win @ 13\/8<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Last EIGHT Leicester vs West Brom H2H&#8217;s\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle-o\" style=\"color:#f11d33\"><\/i> West Brom 1-1 Leicester<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle-o\" style=\"color:#f11d33\"><\/i> Leicester 2-1 West Brom<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle-o\" style=\"color:#f11d33\"><\/i> West Brom 1-2 Leicester<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle-o\" style=\"color:#f11d33\"><\/i> Leicester 3-0 West Brom<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle-o\" style=\"color:#f11d33\"><\/i> West Brom 0-3 Leicester<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle-o\" style=\"color:#f11d33\"><\/i> West Brom 1-4 Leicester<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle-o\" style=\"color:#f11d33\"><\/i> Leicester 1-1 West Brom<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle-o\" style=\"color:#f11d33\"><\/i> West Brom 0-1 Leicester<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/div>\n<h3><strong>WATCH: Highlights from West Brom 1-1 Leicester on 26th September 2025<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe title=\"DRAMATIC late own goal rescues Foxes! | West Brom 1-1 Leicester | EFL Championship highlights\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hpieMxYYYuw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
