West Brom vs Fulham Prediction & Betting tips
In the promoted duel between West Brom and Fulham, both are about important points in the relegation battle. The home side recently conceded a 5-0 swat against Manchester City and are generally very generous with goals conceded on their own territory.
On average it is 2.9 per home game – this is the highest value in a league-wide comparison with a mile-wide margin. Now, however, the Londoners are again a harmless away team. Only one of eight guest appearances was contested victoriously. The blades alone score even less in a foreign country!
For the match at Hawthorns between West Brom and Fulham, the forecast includes a draw.
West Brom :
The Baggies have had a new trainer, Sam Allardyce, since mid-December. The 66-year-old succeeded Slaven Bilic. His debut was unpleasant with a defeat in the derby against Aston Villa and then it didn’t get better. It was only in his sixth game as coach of Albion that Allardyce celebrated his first three.
The white-blue team won 3-2 against the Wolves on the penultimate game day. In addition, a bankruptcy in the FA Cup against third division club Blackpool was recorded in between. In addition, the win against the Wanderers was not a sustainable upswing. Instead, a defeat against West Ham followed.
This week it got particularly bitter: The champions of 1920 lost 5-0 at home to the Citizens last Tuesday evening. The runner-up had already struck four times at halftime, which is why the new table leaders went to work much more leisurely in the second part of the game.
The five-time FA Cup winner can therefore continue to be described as poorly in shape. The Throstles cannot hope for a home bonus, not only because of the recent heavy attrition by City. Rather, the West Midlands footballers have all lost their last five home games.
In this context, they even set a record for most goals conceded in a row on their own territory. The last 21 goals in the Hawthorns were scored exclusively by the visiting team – there has never been a longer series of this kind in the history of the Premier League!
Fulham :
Coach Scott Parker and his team took one point with a goalless draw from Brighton last Wednesday. The climber could not make up any ground in the relegation battle against the top table neighbors. Rather, the first relegation place in the Premier League table will continue to be occupied.
It is also getting more and more uncomfortable because the Blades and West Brom have caught up in the last few weeks. One factor behind the weak season of the 2010 Europa League finalist is the tired offensive. Only Burnley and the bottom of the table from Sheffield have fewer hits than Fulham.
The Lily Whites have only scored two goals in the last five rounds, which is why this shortcoming has even increased. With players like Lookman or Loftus-Cheek, the attack line is simply below average. The third attacker in the league, the Portuguese Cavaleiro, can easily be included in this list with two hits so far.
At least the defensive is currently reliable. Even against the top teams Tottenham, Manchester United and Chelsea, only three goals were conceded on the first three match days of the year. The advantage now is that Antonee Robinson, an important defender, is returning to the squad.
The 23-year-old US boy served his three-game card suspension for a rude foul against Azpilicueta in the lost match against Chelsea about two weeks ago. The defensive away trend is also evident from the fact that the Cottagers only conceded 0.9 goals per encounter in the last ten league games. In the first nine games this figure was still two hits!
