West Bromwich Albion finished last season on the twentieth place in the Premier League with 31 points to their credit. Thereby the Baggies got relegated to the English Football League Championship. The team of Li Piyue has had five friendly matches this summer, they have won four of them (over Barnet with a 3-0 score, over Swindon with a 3-1 score, over Barnsley with a 3-2 score, over Coventry with a 5-2 score) and have drawn one (against Aberdeen with a 1-1 score). In the 1/64-finals of the Carabao Cup they beat Luton with a 1-0 score. In the 1/32-finlas fixture the team beat Mansfield with a 2-1 score. In their six fixtures of the 2018/2019 English Football League Championship season West Bromwich Albion won three times (over Norwich City with a 4-3 score, over Queen`s Park Rangers with a 7-1 score, over Stoke City with a 2-1 score), drew one time (against Nottingham Forest with a 1-1 score) and lost two times (to Bolton with a 1-2 score and to Middlesbrough with a 0-1 score).
The last two fixtures between Birmingham City and West Bromwich Albion happened in the 2010/2011 season when the Baggies won both with a 3-1 score. It is likely though that there will be only a few goals scored in the upcoming fixture.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.0 goals scored.
