Betting on West Bromwich Albion
After an outstanding first few months of the campaign, West Brom, who has won just one of its last five Championship matches, seems to be running out of power. The team has slipped to tenth place in the standings and five points off the promotion playoff places, which now appears to be the team’s only real chance of returning to the Premier League.
West Brom added a third game in a row without a win when it lost against Watford playing away from home last Monday and by a score of 3-2. However, the team’s hopes of breaking that negative streak of results are still running high, as it will return to The Hawthorns, where it has gone undefeated for eight matches in all competitions (7 wins, 1 draw), andconceding only one goal in the process.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Joshua Griffiths; Darnell Furlong, Dara O’Shea, Erik Peters, Conor Townsend; Jayson Molumby, Okay Yokuslu; Grady Diangana, Jed Wallace, John Swift; Daryl Dike.
Betting on Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough is undoubtedly the team that is in better shape in the Championship. With nine wins in its last ten league appearances, Middlesbrough is four points away from the second placed team,Sheffield United, in the fight for direct promotion to the top flight.
Boro arrives to this match after defeating QPR 3-1 the previous weekend thanks to a brace from Chuba Akpom, who has scored six times in his last six league appearances. His tally is of 19 goals in 26 matches so far this season. Akpom will be crucial to keep Middlesbrough, who has won seven of its last nine away matches, inspired.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Zack Steffen; Tommy Smith, Dael Fry, Darragh Lenihan, Ryan Giles; Daniel Barlaser, Hayden Hackney; Aaron Ramsey, Chuba Akpom, Ryley McGee; Cameron Archer.
JefeBet Prediction
West Brom has a great opportunity to both end its poor performance and strengthen its position in the promotion playoff race. This is because it has a strong defensive record at home while also being effective in its attacking play in its last nine home matches.
However, it will face a tough Middlesbrough team, which will test its defense after scoring two or more goals in eight of its last ten away matches, including three goals in its two most recent outings.
This will be a clash between two teams that will be looking to score goals from the start, and that have proven to have a great goal-scoring ability. Therefore, we expect to see a lot of action in both areas, and at least one goal being scored by each team.
Prediction: Both teams score: Yes (WBR 1-2 MID).
