West Bromwich Albion Arsenal betting prediction
 West Bromwich |
|  Arsenal |
Betting suggestion:
This clash should not be one of the most balanced of this round of the English Championship, given that it puts within the four lines two teams that have been doing extremely different campaigns so far. While Arsenal remains in the top six, West Bromwich is the penultimate placed. The home team has failed at the time of finalizing, and also has great difficulty maintaining ball possession, while its defense mainly fails to combat more skillful players. Arsenal has been able to create a good volume of shots, especially through deep balls, but its defense is fragile in containing counterattacks, and also made some individual mistakes. However, by having a much more qualified squad and facing one of the worst teams in the league, it is a good option to bet on Arsenal's victory.

Preview

At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history indicates total balance between these two teams, since there is a record of 2 draws and 2 wins for each team in the last 6 matches. However, the last time these teams met at this stadium was on 18‑03‑2017, in a match for the Premier League, West Bromwich Albion won by (3‑1). The goals of the match were scored by C. Dawson (12' and 75' ) and H. Robson‑Kanu (55' ), for West Bromwich Albion, and by A. Sánchez (15' ), for Arsenal. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.
Analysis West Bromwich
After 2 wins, 9 draws and 9 losses, the home team is in the 19th position, havinf won 15 points so far. In the last match, they have tied at home against Everton by (0‑0), after in the previous match they have lost (3‑1) an away match against Stoke City. This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses in away matches; against 1 win, 6 draws and 8 losses at their stadium. In the last 10 home league matches West Bromwich Albion has a record of 1 win, 6 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 9 points out of 30 possible.
In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 18 matches. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑0 (4 out of 10 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 9 of their 20 matches for this competition, and have never been able to turn the score around.
West Bromwich is going through a very difficult moment in the English Premier League and has shown no signs of reaction to try to ease the poor situation in which they find themselves, since they have not won for eighteen rounds. In their last clash, the team finished more than double the opponents' time, but did not show much efficiency, registering only a goalless home draw against Everton. As was clear in the last round, the great responsible for the team's bad campaign has been the offensive sector, which was not able to score on nine occasions and is now ranked second worst in the competition. In terms of ball possession, the team has the worst average, which can be explained by the lack of quality in the exchange of passes, since it is the second that misses the most. Playing at home, the team added only one victory, thus having the second worst campaign in that condition. The coach has often changed the tactical system of the team, but he should keep Brunt as a reference in the midfield.

Analysis Arsenal
The away team is currently in the 6th position of the league, with 37 points won, after 11 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Liverpool, by (3‑3). In the last match, they won in an away match against Crystal Palace, by (2‑3). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 21 goals scored and 20 conceded; against 11 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 33 goals scored and 9 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Arsenal has a record of 3 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 12 points out of 30 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (4 out of 10 matches). Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 20 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have only turned the score around in 2.
Arsenal has a chance to add the second successive away win in the Premier League in this match and thus compensate the points lost in two of the last three home games. In the last round, the team had more ball possession and missed a few passes, and although it finished the same number of times as the opponent, managed to be more efficient and conquer the victory against Crystal Palace. Once again, it was evident the importance of the offensive sector to the good campaign that the team has been doing since in only four matches it did not score goals, and now figures as the fifth best of the competition. One of the strengths of the team has been the precision of the exchange of passes, which has guaranteed a good average ball possession, thus facilitating the creation of opportunities. The coach is likely to organize the team in the 3-4-2-1, with Sánchez prominent in the offensive sector.
