Leicester City hosts West Bromwich Albion in round 32 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Thursday, April 22nd at King Power Stadium (Leicester)
Leicester City is ranked third in the Premier League standings (56 points after 31 games). The Foxes have chalked up 17 victories, five draws, and nine defeats. The ambitious team continues to fight for a spot in the top four despite two consecutive defeats to Manchester City (0-2) and West Ham (2-3). Leicester's position is unstable - it is only two points ahead of the fifth-coming Chelsea. Rogers's team already missed the place in the top four at the finish of the previous season, and in the event of further setbacks, this scenario can happen again. Beyond that, the Foxes retain the chance to compete for the FA Cup. On 18 April, Leicester beat Southampton in the home semifinal match due to a goal scored by Kelechi Iheanacho.

West Bromwich Albion takes 19th place in the standings (24 points after 31 matches). The Baggies have chalked up five victories, nine draws, and 17 defeats. Albion continues to fight for the right to remain in the elite. The situation for Allardyce's team is not easy - in terms of points lost, they are six points behind the 17th Burnley, with seven rounds to go until the end of the championship. The stalemate in the table is forcing West Bromwich to show some muscle. The Throstles scored six points in the last two rounds. First, they destroyed Chelsea at Stamford Bridge (2-5) and then hammered the demotivated Southampton with a 3-0 score.
Both teams will be motivated, but Leicester's chances of success look better. The Foxes are superior to their opponents in terms of the roster and have not lost to the Throstles in head-to-head meetings lately. Another factor against West Bromwich is the poor statistics of away Premier League matches. In 15 games, Albion won only two times and scored 10 points. On the other hand, Leicester will play four days after the Cup match, while Bromwich has been resting since April 12. The Foxes will not be so fresh compared to the visitors, who will try to give battle to the favorites. The bet on the victory of West Bromwich with a +1.5 handicap took place in their last eight matches in the Premier League.
Prediction for the match: West Bromwich to win with +1.5 handicap
