West Bromwich Albion:
West Bromwich Albion has a final chance to reach the final of the play-offs on Tuesday-evening in its own stadium. To achieve this so-called 180 million match, it will first have to deal with Aston Villa. Something that didn’t work in Birmingham last Saturday. They lost 2-1 but the defeat meant a lot more. It lost attack leader Dwight Gayle with twice yellow, which means the attacker will be suspended on Tuesday evening. Supersub Hal Robson – Kanu is also absent due to a suspension. It will be an offensive puzzle for manager James Shan.
Nevertheless, West Bromwich Albion is certainly not without a chance at The Hawthorns. It was 0-1 ahead last Saturday with a goal from Dwight Gayle. For a long time, WBA was also the parent and nothing seemed to go wrong until 1-1. Until Jack Grealish took Aston Villa in tow and provided the assist for Conor Hourihane’s 1-1. When hereafter it also became 2-1 due to a penalty from Tammy Abraham, the game was turned upside down within five minutes. Now there is a heavy assignment for West Bromwich Albion.
Manager James Shan looked ahead to the game against Aston Villa on Monday afternoon. I hope for an electric atmosphere tomorrow night so that the spark of the supporters spreads to the players. ”
Aston Villa:
The final is in sight for Aston Villa. Before that time, there must first be settled with West Bromwich Albion. The score after the first game is 2-1 in favor of the club from Birmingham. For a long time it didn’t look like Aston Villa would win last Saturday. It fell behind in its own home by a goal from Dwight Gayle. He received the ball after very clumsy and expensive ball loss from Glenn Whelan. Also Aston Villa goalkeeper Jed Steer did not go free with the shot from Gayle. For a long time, Gayle’s goal seemed to be the only one of the afternoon.
After the break, the initiative was with Aston Villa, but there were no major opportunities. Eventually the game turned over in five crazy minutes. First Conor Hourihane shot the ball beautifully in the cross after excellent preparatory work by playmaker Jack Grealish. Barely five minutes later, Grealish was again at the basis of a goal. He was played in the penalty area and knocked down by Kieran Gibbs. The awarded penalty was then used flawlessly by Tammy Abraham.
Aston Villa enters the second game with a small lead. During these play-offs, away goals do not count double so that one team really has to beat the other. In the event of a tie, a grant follows and the goal goals do not count double. Aston Villa is the big favorite to continue as it set a series of ten victories in a row, with the exception of the last two league games.
