Stoke City West Bromwich Albion betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 4^th position of the league, with 50 points won, after 14 wins, 8 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Bolton Wanderers, by (0‑2). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Middlesbrough, by (2‑3). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 24 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 6 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 27 goals scored and 21 conceded. In their last match, for the FA Cup, they got a home loss against Brighton & Hove Albion by (1‑3) after extended time. In the last 10 away league matches West Bromwich Albion has a record of 6 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, so they have won 19 points out of 30 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (5 out of 14 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 29 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 16 times and have only turned the score around in 4.

West Bromwich arrive at this clash unmotivated after a 1-3 home loss to Brighton, in a match to count for the FA Cup. Contrary to the "enemy" of this round, the away team should play a tactical system in 4-4 -2, with the goal of trying to take advantage of the counter-attacks. In any case, it is expected that West Bromwich adopt a more offensive posture, bearing in mind that they have a squad of superior quality. The manager will not be able to count on Livermore for being suspended.
