Leicester City will continue the incredible Premier League title race with a home match against West Bromwich Albion.
It’s an incredibly interesting fight for the title. Man City, who was the favorite just 1 month ago now is 9 points off Leicester. 9 points! I have to say it again, because I can’t believe it. And it will probably be even more after this round, because Leicester is playing WBA while Man City travel to Anfield to play Liverpool, again.

But back to this game. It’s incredible how well Leicester is playing. They are excellent in big matches, focused and concentrated in regular matches, Ranieri is really in his best season ever, even though he is an old coach, or old fox, should we say :). It’s funny that Ranieri said a while ago that he and the players decided to cut back on the tactical lessons, it seems the players were not too fond of them, but still, Leicester seems incredibly well organized. Every player knows what to do, they are like a machine, but still, they are not boring, they are creative and pretty entertaining, far from Chelsea of last season for example.
Now moving on to West Brom. WBA is a typical Tony Pulis side. Players that hate having the ball are all regulars under Pulis, a coach who believes playing without the ball is the most important part of the game. The statistics do not lie. WBA is the team that fires the fewest shots on target. Leicester is also good at defending. Leicester make the most interceptions and the 2nd most tackles per game, so overall we have 2 defensive minded teams. I struggle to understand why the under is priced at a very decent 1.82 at 1xBet, considering all the above, and i will take my chances.
So, I can say that under 2,5 for sure looks like a solid bet to take on this match and the statistics back it up. Good luck!

I really like this bet. Leicester plays brilliant against teams that leave spaces, but they have problems holding possession and breaking down crowded defenses – as it was the case last round against Norwich.
WBA with Pulis and his defensive setup is definitely one of the worst possible matchups for Leicester and I feat they might even produce an upset. The under looks good, my call would be 1-0 for the Foxes.
