Tip West Brom

Odds 1.57 at

West Brom are second in the Championship with one point separating them from top-placed Leeds United. Birmingham City are sixteenth and are eight points ahead of the relegation zone. The two sides clash in the return leg of their league games and with West Brom having won the reverse 3-2, it will be upon the visitors to try and gain some ground as they pursue the much-needed points to rise away from the threat of falling to a lower league. The Baggies drew 0-0 with Swansea in their most recent match, extending their winless streak to three games in all competitions. At home, West Brom have won twice in six games across all competitions. This goes to show that a home advantage might not reliably predict that things could work in their favor. Visitors Birmingham lost 3-1 at Reading, extending their winless streak to six games in all competitions. Hogan had given Birmingham an advantage but the team squandered it in the first half as Miazga, Meite and Pele scored in the second half for the victory. The situation is no better for Birmingham on the road as they have only won twice in six games across all competitions. But in all fairness, three of their last six away games ended with draws, so in this regard, their away form is slightly better than West Brom's home game.
