Match Preview

The threat of Premier League relegation hovers ominously over the teams featured in today’s free West Bromwich Albion vs Brighton & Hove Albion preview. The Baggies have been largely dreadful all campaign, collecting just sixteen points from a possible sixty-six since August. WBA are already on their second manager of the season having axed Tony Pulis and replaced him with journeyman coach Alan Pardew.

Pardew has a huge job on his hands to try and salvage a season that has gone from bad to worse for the Baggies. Even though their last runout before this week’s West Bromwich Albion vs Brighton & Hove Albion betting tips resulted in a 2-0 win at Exeter in the Cup, that victory was, in fact, WBA’s first in a staggering twenty-one matches. West Bromwich Albion are the second lowest scorers in the EPL having found the net just sixteen times so far.

Brighton & Hove Albion were most people’s favourites for the drop when predictions for the new season were established during the summer months. However, Chris Hughton’s side have been seriously hard to beat, losing just nine of their twenty-two EPL games to date. The Seagulls have hit a purple patch of late, losing just once in their last five outings. Hughton’s men are very rarely hammered, in fact, only Liverpool have scored more than twice against them in 2017/18.

West Bromwich Albion vs Brighton & Hove Albion Prediction and Betting Advice

Both teams under the microscope in our selection of West Bromwich Albion vs Brighton & Hove Albion bets have a habit of drawing many of their games. The Baggies are out on their own as the league’s draw specialists, however, having ended level in ten of their twenty-two fixtures since the summer.

Incredibly, Pardew’s side have drawn seven of their eleven games at the Hawthorns. Four of their last five contests there have ended level and though they are a very tough team to break down, they don’t seem to have the requisite firepower to go on and turn draws into wins.

Brighton have drawn the second highest number of games in the division alongside Southampton and Liverpool with eight stalemates so far this term. The Seagulls have ended level in 50% of their last six fixtures alone and Chris Hughton would happily take another point if you offered it to him now ahead of their weekend trip to the midlands. William Hill’s Premier League football betting odds offer bettors unbeatable value when backing our opening pick.

The fixture broken down for our West Bromwich Albion vs Brighton & Hove Albion predictions this week features the 2^nd and 3^rd lowest scorers in the Premier League this season. Only bottom of the table Swansea City have scored fewer goals than our featured clubs.

Additionally, there were under 2.5 goals scored in three of WBA’s last four matches alone – they are routinely one of the least exciting teams to watch in the Premiership. In games at the Hawthorns, there has been a total of twenty-five goals scored across eleven EPL matches, which is an average of just 2.2 per ninety minutes.

The Seagulls away goal stats are even more miserable – their matches on the road have averaged a paltry 1.6 goals per game and no team has scored fewer goals than them on their travels (5). If ever a clash promised little to no penalty area drama, then this is it.
