West Brom v Leicester Betting Tips – Premier League 10th March 3.00pm
West Brom are staring Championship football next season in the eye. They have lost their last five games and this looks to be a hopeless situation for them. A win in this one would offer some kind of hope and probably keep Alan Pardew in a job. Leicester have just lost their way a little bit having failed to win some favourable looking home games recently. So will that put them at risk on their travels?
West Brom News and Form
Five defeats on the bounce is what West Brom have under their belt going into this one. They suffered a 1-0 defeat out at Watford last weekend to sink them further into relegation problems. Another defeat here would probably be the end of Alan Pardew. West Brom have lost their last two at the Hawthorns, one goal margin defeats against Southampton and Huddersfield, so that may be a good indicator for the outcome of this one. West Brom have only collected the two home wins all season with a W2 D7 L5 record there and they have won only one of their last thirteen there. They need to rally themselves somehow but it doesn’t look likely to happen on current form at all. They have scored in each of their last three home games at least, so over 2.5 goals because of that is at 23/20 odds with bet365* (Betting Odds taken at 10:33 p.m. on March 7th, 2018), which could be worth a flutter. The both teams to score option may offer something too as the Baggies have scored in all but one of their last six home games. The Baggies have netted just fifteen goals in fourteen home games and while their output has been better under Pardew, their defence hasn’t improved.
Leicester News and Form
Leicester have found that their winning touch has deserted them lately. They have drawn three of their last four games, all 1-1 results at home and strangely that was against sides in the bottom half of the table, games that the Foxes were expected to win. Each of those draws were by a 1-1 scoreline and in the bet365 correct score market the shortest priced option is indeed a 1-1 draw at 11/2 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 10:33 p.m. on March 7th, 2018). Leicester have put up a W3 D5 L6 for the season away from home in the Premier League and they have lost four of their last five (D1). They did net in each of those four defeats though, and the half time draw is a decent option for the game as the Foxes have been level at the break in ten of their away games this season. Leicester have conceded 64% of their road goals after half time in games, but they haven’t taken a clean sheet in any of their last five. But with them having scored in each of their last six, they should be in this. Jamie Vardy has scored Leicester’s last three away goals.
West Brom v Leicester Head to Head
This will be just the eighth Premier League meeting between the two sides and from those previous seven, Leicester are narrowly W3 D2 L2 ahead. When the two met in October last year there was a 1-1 draw played out at the King Power. Leicester though are on a three-match winning sequence at the Hawthorns from their three previous Premier League visits there, each of the wins by a one-goal margin.

West Brom v Leicester Predictions
Draw: Just because Leicester have lost their winning touch, it may be worth backing a share of the spoils in this one. West Brom certainly don’t look like winning but they may be able to avoid defeat at least which isn’t going to do anything for them really at the end of the day.
