West Bromwich take on the visitors Stoke City at “The Hawthorns” in the matchday three of the English Premier League. The game will be played on Sunday, August 27th.
Having played on loose in the second part of the previous season, at the start of a new season West Bromwich demonstrate the same well-balanced and consistent football as is it was a year ago in the opening clashes of the English elite division of 2016/2017 season. In two starting rounds “The Throstles” gained the maximum possible points, having broken Bournemouth and Burnley with the same 1:0 scoreline. In the mid-week West Bromwich entered the Carabao Cup, having knocked out Accrington 3:1. During the summer break Tony Pulis has revived his team and, as a result, in the first encounters of the season it showed solid football.

Stoke City also succeeded at the start of the season. Even though “The Potters” have been broken 0:1 by Everton on the road in the opening matchday, still, they managed to get two victories during last week: 1:0 over Arsenal within the Premier League and 4:0 vs. Rochdale in the Carabao Cup. Mark Hughes’s side show strong play in defense, while it is sure to find its chances in offense like in previous season, like in the current one.
West Bromwich have not been defeated by Stoke City in five recent head-to-heads recording four wins and a draw in them. Four out of five those battles finished with under scored goals. Taking into consideration the teams’ results in the opening gameweeks of this season’s Premier League, a number of scored goals shouldn’t be expected in the forthcoming clash as well.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
