West Bromwich take on the visitors Cardiff in the round 4 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Wednesday, August 17th at The Hawthorns (West Bromwich).
West Brom are definitely not happy with the results of last season. They have the status of a kind of "football lift". But it means not only constant departures from the country's top division, but also subsequent quick returns to this level. So a year ago, before Valerien Ismael, the goal was definitely to return to the Premier League. But the Frenchman disappointed and was fired relatively quickly, and his successor, Steve Bruce, raised his wards only to 10th place. But there were hopes that an experienced mentor would continue progress with the team. But in the Championship, the favorite started with draws against Middlesbrough and Watford. In the League Cup with Sheffield United, they finally managed to win at home, due to a single goal. But lost 1-2 to Blackburn after that.

Cardiff are still inconsistent. The Bluebirds, under their eccentric current owner, Vincent Tan, have been able to climb to the Premier League. But everything ended with an instant departure, and after that, the representative of the Welsh capital did not approach a new rise in the Premier League. Moreover, if the players fought for anything in the last season, it was for survival. However, the final 53 points were enough for this. But an ambitious millionaire definitely wants more from his club. It turned out to start in the new championship with 1-0 with a potential favorite, Norwich. But this was followed by defeats to Reading, defeat Portsmouth (Cup 0-3 at home). And only Blackburn at home was defeated by the Wales with a score of 2-1.
In general, there is an approximate equality. But last season West Bromwich managed to win 4-0 away, however, after that they limited themselves to 1-1 at home. Experts see West Bromwich as the clear favourite, but Cardiff have started the season in good form. The game will be spectacular - we recommend betting on "over 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
