West Bromwich hosts Birmingham in round 38 of the English Championship. The match will be played on Saturday, June 20th at The Hawthorns (West Bromwich)
Nine games before the end of the championship, the Throstles must retain a nine-point gap from Fulham. The forced break was supposed to be good because West Bromwich, which gained consecutive victories, suddenly held two “dry” matches and scored only one point. In terms of the game, the hosts are the best team of the Championship, often destroying everyone in their path. As a rule, Bilic’s team rarely stops if it scores first. West Bromwich scores an average of two goals per round.

The visitors showed a rather ambiguous game in the last rounds. No better than an outsider. Maybe Birmingham believed that it wouldn’t relegate after an excellent unbeaten streak, and I think it didn’t count on the top six. The Blues do not want to lose, but they forgot how to win. It seemed to me that the team managed to establish a game in defense, but it still concedes a lot. And the last rounds... Only Brentford can be considered a serious contender.
The first round match ended with West Bromwich’s away victory (3-2). Recent head-to-head meetings were usually scoring, but the Blues are unlikely to offer battle to such a serious opponent on the road. The visitors don’t have qualified forwards, but every midfielder of West Bromwich is a serious danger. I think that the hosts will manage to score at least twice. Bilic’s team cannot lose points in any way.
Prediction for the match: West Bromwich to score over 1.5 goals
