West Bromwich Albion Manchester United betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This clash puts face-to-face two teams that have been doing completely different campaigns within the English Championship. While West Bromwich is among the last four placed, with the same score as the first team in the relegation zone, Manchester United remain in the vice-lead. The home team has a hard time maintaining ball possession and has been ineffective at the time of concluding, while its defense presents many problems, especially in fighting more skillful players. Manchester United often attack by the flanks, and bets heavily on set pieces and counterattacks, showing much accuracy at the time of concluding. Thus, even playing away from home, it is a good option to bet on the victory of Manchester United.

Preview
West Bromwich Albion and Manchester United face at The Hawthorns, in a match for the 18th round of the Premier League. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the away team, since they have a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in the last 5 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 17‑12‑2016, in a match for the Premier League, Manchester United won by (0‑2). The goals of the match were scored by Z. Ibrahimović (5' and 56' ) for Manchester United. 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

The home team is currently in the 17th position of the league, with 14 points won, after 2 wins, 8 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Swansea City, by (1‑0). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Liverpool, by (0‑0). 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 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses in away matches; against 1 win, 5 draws and 9 losses at their stadium. In the last 8 home league matches West Bromwich Albion has a record of 1 win, 5 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 8 points out of 24 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 15 matches. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (3 out of 8 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 17 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

West Bromwich continues to make a bad campaign in this edition of the English Championship, given that it has not won for fifteen rounds, and has not scored a goal in the last three of them, thus evidencing serious problems to be solved in the attack. This sector has been one of the main responsible for the team's poor performance, since it failed to score goals on eight occasions and is now among the four worst in the competition. In its last clash, the team was dominated by Liverpool, finishing with only 29% of ball possession and six finalizations but still managed to conquer a goalless draw away from home. The team has very worrying numbers in the league: it is the second that misses the most passes, having the worst average ball possession. The 4-3-3 should be the tactical  formation used for this clash, with highlight for Hegazi in the defensive sector.

Confirmed Lineup: Ben Foster, Allan Nyom, Kieran Gibbs, Ahmed Hegazy, Jonny Evans, Claudio Yacob, Jake Livermore, Grzegorz Krychowiak, James McClean, Oliver Burke, Salomón Rondón.
Coach: S. Bruce.

Analysis Man Utd

The away team is currently in the 2nd position of the league, with 38 points won, after 12 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Manchester City, by (1‑2). In the last match, they won in a home match against AFC Bournemouth, by (1‑0). 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 8 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 26 goals scored and 13 conceded; against 14 wins and 1 loss at their stadium, with 37 goals scored and 6 conceded. Their last away match for this competition ended in a win by (1‑3) against Arsenal. In the last 8 away league matches Manchester United has a record of 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 14 points out of 24 possible. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 17 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 20 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 6 of their 17 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Manchester United has the chance to add the third successive away win for the English Premier League in this game after two consecutive appearances in front of their supporters who should be pleased with the overall performance of the team. In the last round, the team were not much better than the opponent, but had a good defensive performance, and managed to leave with three points against Bournemouth. The good positioning of the team is not by chance, since it has the defense less leaked, next to Manchester City, and the second best attack, with an average of 2.17 goals per match. Away from home, the team owns the third best campaign, and in that condition has an average of one goal conceded per game. It is likely that the coach will organize the team in the 4-2-3-1, keeping Lukaku as the benchmark in the attack.

Confirmed Lineup: David De Gea, Antonio Valencia, Ashley Young, Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Nemanja Matić, Juan Mata, Ander Herrera, Jesse Lingard, Romelu Lukaku, Marcus Rashford.
Coach: E. ten Hag.
