Manchester City West Bromwich Albion betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This clash tends to be one of the most unbalanced of this round of the English Championship, as it puts face to face two teams that have been doing completely different campaigns so far. While Manchester City leads the competition with some clearance, West Bromwich is in the penultimate place with the same number of points from the last placed. The home team is still giving a lot of space to the opponent, but compensates this with a great offensive power, especially in the attacks by the flanks, showing much precision when finishing. West Bromwich have difficulty keeping possession of the ball and also finishing, and their defense has been committing a lot of dangerous fouls. So by playing at home and having the best attack of the league, the most likely scenario is a Manchester City elastic victory, being a good option to bet on a game with more goals than usual.

West Bromwich are still in a very difficult situation within the English Premier League, but have been showing signs of reaction as they have only one defeat in the last five rounds and have been undefeated for two matches. In the last of them, the team missed many passes, but still finalized more than the opponent, and managed to add a draw away from home against Everton. However, it was once again clear that the team has been having a hard time in the offensive sector, which has not been able to score goals in nine games, and is now among the five worst in the competition. One of the weaknesses of the team has been possession of the ball, which has the worst league average, which facilitates the work opponent. Midfielder Krychowiak and striker Rondón are likely to remain in the top eleven.

Confirmed Lineup: Ben Foster, Ahmed Hegazy, Craig Dawson, Allan Nyom, Samuel Field, James McClean, Claudio Yacob, Grzegorz Krychowiak, Salomón Rondón, Jay Rodriguez.
Coach: G. McAuley, S. Bruce.
