Supercomputer predicts West Brom vs Leicester City result at The Hawthorns
Ryan Mason will look to turn things around as West Brom face Leicester City in the Championship on Friday.
Marti Cifuentes’ team will travel to The Hawthorns on 26 September as they look to get back to winning ways.
The Baggies were handed their second consecutive league defeat against Middlesbrough at Riverside Stadium on 19 September as they dropped to seventh in the table.
Mason is aiming for Premier League promotion this season, and three points against the Foxes could potentially go a long way to bring confidence back in B71.
West Brom favourites to win vs Leicester City
With a win percentage of 41, the Baggies are predicted to be favourites against Leicester, according to Opta.
The supercomputer has given the East Midlands outfit a 31 per cent chance of getting the three points at The Hawthorns.
With the chances of a draw at 26 per cent, it will undoubtedly be a tight game for the Albion as they look to climb up the table after their recent disappointments.
The Black Country outfit will undoubtedly have to be at their best as the Foxes are also in the running to get back into the Premier League.

Leicester City boast excellent record at The Hawthorns
Mason should look to make changes against Leicester City, with the likes of Alfie Gilchrist and Josh Maja certainly capable of making a difference in B71.
The English manager made some baffling decisions against Middlesbrough, such as playing Ousmane Diakite in midfield and Jayson Molumby in the number 10 role.
Aune Heggebo’s performances this season have also not warranted the faith the former Tottenham coach has shown in him at the Albion in the opening matches of the campaign.
| Fixture vs Leicester | Venue | Result |
| 20 April 2024 | Away | 2-1 loss |
| 2 December 2023 | Home | 2-1 loss |
| 22 April 2021 | Away | 3-0 loss |
Maja should start for West Brom against Leicester after the Nigeria international’s return from injury.
The Foxes have won on their last six visits to The Hawthorns, with the Baggies’ last win against them at home coming on 2 April 2010 in the Championship.
With the Black Country outfit winning just once in their last 10 meetings against the East Midlands outfit, Mason has a massive task on his hands in B71.
