West Bromwich showed solid football in their recent match against Arsenal but still lost the match to the Gunners, 0-1. The visiting side is currently on ninth place in the league with 23 points gained in 18 matches and sit right behind the hosting side. West Bromwich played nine matches on the road this season and gained nine points in them, showing defensive football with 7-9 goal difference.
Head-to-heads between the teams rarely end with high-scoring results. Only two times in eight recent matches the teams combined over 2.5 goals. This season results suggest that we shouldn’t expect to see number of goals this time as well as close schedule won’t allow teams to use all their strength in upcoming match.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals.
