Whether it’s a goalscorer angle, a BTTS trend, or a high-priced underdog, each tip is backed by research and reasoning to help you bet smarter.

Why We’re Backing Both Teams to Score @ 10/11 with Betfred

  • WBA have shown a tendency to concede across many of their matches, letting in goals in a good portion of games recently.
  • Although their attack isn’t prolific, West Brom do score more often than not, having found the net in six of their seven matches this term.

Why We’re Backing Abdul Fatawu Anytime Goalscorer @ 5/1 with Sky Bet

  • He’s scored twice already this season, netting two in his last four appearances for Leicester.
  • His non-penalty expected goals is strong (0.56 per 90), suggesting his finishing is backed up by the quality of chances he’s getting.
  • The winger takes quite a few shots: in those four games he’s had 10 shots, about 2.7 shots per 90, half of them on target, giving reasonable probability he’ll convert one.

West Bromwich Albion Form/Stats

  • Albion’s Expected Goals Against (xGA) is 1.14 per game in the 2025/26 campaign.
  • In terms of attacking output: West Brom average 12.5 shots per match, of which five shots are on target.

Leicester City Form/Stats

  • The Foxes are Leicester are scoring at a rate of 1.6 goals per game under Marti Cifuentes.
  • First-half vs second-half concession shows that Leicester concede around 0.5 goals in the first half on average, meaning they tend to concede early in matches.

Player to Watch

Abdul Fatawu operates primarily off the right flank but is also comfortable drifting inside, combining raw pace with a directness that is sure to unsettle Championship full backs across the course of the campaign.

So far Fatawu has several goal contributions to his name, while averaging over two successful dribbles per game and a high rate of progressive carries, underlining how integral he has become to Leicester’s transition play.
