West Brom vs Chelsea Prediction & Betting tips
Chelsea is playing his first of possible three championship matches on Friday evening, but this way we can assume Chelsea will be champion on Friday.
West Brom :
Starting in the first half of the season, the overall idea was that West Bromwich Albion would get another high end. However, The Baggies did not succeed in putting together some strong results, losing the connection with the current subtop. Fortunately, WBA has built such a big advantage that in the worst case it will end eleventh. Still a good performance of course.
WBA managed to score a point at Burnley last weekend (2-2) and given Burnley’s home performance this season, it’s still a good result. West Bromwich Albion fans were finally told that their team was able to score. Against Burnley, WBA had not made a goal for eight and a half hours until Salomon Rondón worked the equalizer against the ropes. Michael Dawson also made a free kick, which once again proved West Brom to be especially dangerous from standard situations.
Mostly six of the last eight WBA competitions were made from standard situations. Those standard conditions can be useful to Chelsea again, as WBA is unlikely to come to a lot of opportunities. However, Tony Pulis’s team managed to win three of his last five league matches in the Hawthorns Stadium against Chelsea. But well, it is true that WBA has nevertheless scored in two of his last nine games in the Premier League.
Probable setup West Bromwich Albion
Foster, Dawson, McAuley, Evans, Nyom, Yacob, Brown, Livermore, Fletcher, McClean, Rondón
Chelsea :
After the defeat of Tottenham last weekend, Chelsea is definitely a champion. A victory at West Bromwich Albion would make the championship final two games before the end of the competition. It would be the sixth highest English title ever for Chelsea. Only Manchester United managed to write more titles on his name (thirteen). Should Chelsea win the title, then Antonio Conte has made his boss four years in a row. In the previous three seasons he did that with Juventus.
When Chelsea attacked Middlesbrough last weekend, The Blues knew that Tottenham lost and Chelsea could get ahead of its competitor to seven points, with three more games to go. That’s exactly what Chelsea did. Middlesbrough was defeated by 3-0, so Chelsea took an advance on the title and immediately broke down Middlesbrough. Chelsea was dominant and you had the idea that they could continue playing for a few hours without a counterpoint.
Now, a match against West Bromwich Albion is waiting and although championship games are often not the most spectacular, none of the last 21 Premier League matches against WBA ended in a goalless match. In addition, Diego Costa has scored in three of his last five games against WBA. This pot could thus be a real spectacle.
Probable setup Chelsea
Courtois, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Cahill, Moses, Matic, Kanté, Alonso, Willian, Costa, Hazard
