West Brom vs Wolves Prediction & Match Preview

• Wolves go into this unbeaten in six straight games in all competitions.
• Wolves kept their net untouched in each of the last two league clashes against Everton and Brighton.
• West Brom did not impress in their previous game, falling 0-2 to Norwich last weekend at Carrow Road.

West Brom host Wolves in an early afternoon FA Cup fixture on Sunday at The Hawthorns. The Baggies’ four-win run at home will be on a serious test in the clash against an in-form higher-division rival. Can they cause an upset in front of their fans?

West Bromwich Albion will most likely feature in the promotional playoffs at the end of the Championship campaign. They are currently fifth in the league table as two losses in the last three rounds seriously harmed their automatic promotion ambitions. The team possess enough quality and are led by a great Spanish manager Carlos Corberan.

Wolves, however, still enter this tie as the favorites and for a good reason. They are unbeaten in the last six outings across competitions. Gary O’Neil’s men won three and drew one of the previous four Premier League affairs. The lone draw in this streak came last Monday when Wolves shared spoils with Brighton (0-0) away at The AMEX.

Recent Meetings

It’s been three years since these two teams last met each other and back then WBA claimed four points from the two meetings with Wolves in the 2020/21 Premier League season.

West Brom also own a fantastic home record against Wolves with 23 wins, 20 draws, and only 8 defeats in the last 51 home outings in this matchup.

Both teams were on target in all but one of the previous six H2H affairs.

West Brom vs Wolves Prediction

Wolves have found the perfect rhythm in recent weeks under Gary O’Neil. They have bagged three or more goals in three of the last five games across competitions. They also kept back-to-back clean sheets in the last two Premier League fixtures against Everton and Brighton. Since West Brom come into this off the back of a 0-2 defeat away at Norwich, we have enough reasons to go for the away win bet here. It is priced up at the 1.95 odds at the moment.

We expect West Brom to rely on their defensive line here as they have allowed only 11 goals in 14 home outings in this term of Championship. Wolves’ defense has molested much stronger attacking lines in recent weeks (Everton and Brighton) and we can hardly see WBA’s offensive unit doing much in this matchup. The Under 2.5 goals FT pick is well worth backing at the 1.85 odds.
