Leicester to Win

Leicester have been in solid form under Marti Cifuentes, going four matches without defeat and proving difficult to break down defensively. They managed to secure a goalless draw against high-scoring Coventry and battled to a 2-2 draw at Oxford despite playing with ten men for over an hour. This resilience demonstrates a side that know how to manage games and secure results.

In contrast, West Brom have suffered back-to-back defeats, falling to Derby and then Middlesbrough. Although they have conceded just six times in their first six league games, goals at the other end have been scarce. Scoring more than once in a match has happened only once under Ryan Mason, which highlights their struggles in attack. Against a Leicester defence that has been one of the stingiest in the league, this lack of cutting edge could prove costly.

Leicester also possess more depth in forward areas, with Mavididi, Ayew, and James all offering threats in advanced positions. While West Brom have shown they can be organised, their recent inconsistency suggests the Foxes are in the stronger position to claim all three points.

Jordan Ayew – 1+ Shot on Target

Jordan Ayew has not been prolific for Leicester, scoring just once in six appearances, but he remains central to their attack. Leading the line, he is constantly involved in pressing defenders, working into channels, and creating space for teammates. His persistence regularly results in attempts on goal, even if they do not always find the back of the net.

Cifuentes continues to place trust in Ayew to occupy defenders and fashion opportunities, and against a West Brom back line that could see changes, his ability to test the goalkeeper at least once seems a reasonable expectation. The Baggies’ defensive structure has not been poor, but with rotation likely and Leicester expected to have periods of dominance, Ayew should have chances to get shots away.

Given that only a single effort on target is required, this pick relies less on prolific finishing and more on his sheer involvement in play. Even if his strike rate has been questioned, Ayew’s willingness to take responsibility in front of goal adds good value to this selection.

Stephy Mavididi – 1+ Shot on Target

Stephy Mavididi has quickly become a vital figure in Leicester’s attack, often deployed on the flank where his pace and dribbling ability stretch opposition defences. He frequently cuts inside to create shooting opportunities, which makes him a constant danger around the penalty area. With Leicester enjoying a greater share of possession in many games, Mavididi is usually among the players most likely to test the opposition goalkeeper.

West Brom’s defensive line has been relatively solid overall, but they are not immune to quick wingers who thrive in one-on-one situations. Mavididi’s confidence and willingness to take on defenders mean he is rarely shy about pulling the trigger. His energy and direct approach will almost certainly force Griffiths, the Baggies’ goalkeeper, into action at least once.

Considering Leicester’s attacking patterns and Mavididi’s consistent involvement in advanced areas, this bet feels well-grounded. A single accurate attempt would be enough, and the winger’s style of play makes that highly achievable across 90 minutes.
