West Bromwich Albion - Bristol City predictions

West Bromwich Albion are easily the favourites in the match this Saturday, but we wouldn’t call a Home Win bet at the odds of 1.82 safe, exactly. They are more likely to win than not, but Bristol City may have a few tricks up their sleeve yet.

From the present standpoint, the situation is clear as day. Considering the strength of The Baggies and the 5.00 odds given to team from Bristol to win, it is easy to conclude that a victory for the visiting team would be a surprising upset.

It all seemed lost for The Baggies on half-time of their previous Championship away outing – they were losing in a difficult matchup against Huddersfield Town . However, they turned it around against all odds and ended the match with a decisive 1:4 victory.

The away team had the advantage of playing at home in the previous round, but their opponents Swansea City were still a tough nut to crack. It took them more than half the game to get a leg up, but team from Bristol eventually pulled through for a narrow 1:0 win.

The home team gives their opponents plenty of reasons to worry about the upcoming fixture. They’re on something of a streak with 5 goals scored over the last 3 matches.

Based on their recent performance, Bristol’s largest issue seems to be defence, especially in away games. With 6 conceded goals in their 3 previous visiting matches, Over 3.5 Goals markets seem like a solid betting option.

If there’s one thing to note about the history of this matchup, it’s a fact their matches tend to end in a draw. Several matches this season ended inconclusively, so it neems neither team is able to reliably tip the scales one way or another.

With no injuries or suspensions to deal with, both teams will be able to give their all this Saturday.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 2.16 odds offered at 888Sport.
