West Brom vs Middlesbrough Predictions and Free Betting Tips from expert tipsters when they go head-to-head in the English Championship on Saturday, 26 August 2023.
West Brom are set to host Middlesbrough at the Hawthorns for their upcoming league fixture. West Brom enter the contest following a pair of improved performances. They sit 13th in the table after a 1-1 draw with Leeds United in their previous league match.
Their opponents, Middlesbrough, come into the game with a string of subpar results. They remain 23rd in the standings following a 1-1 draw with Huddersfield Town last time out.
The last time these two clubs met was in February. West Brom managed to deliver a 2-0 win that day.
In the last six meetings between the two teams. West Brom has won twice, there have been two draws, and Middlesbrough has won twice.
We are counting on West Brom to pull off a win here. They have a fine home record heading into this one. Their past two competitive home encounters, including the solitary this season, have both ended in victories. They are also currently unbeaten in their last two league matches.
Middlesbrough, on the other hand, have had a difficult start to the season. They haven’t won any of their three league matches this season. Two of those matches ended in defeats as well.
We expect goals in this match. In three of West Brom’s last four matches, there have been more than 2.5 goals scored. Also, two of Middlesbrough’s past three matches have ended with over 2.5 goals.
By the looks of things, a high-scoring affair is expected this time out.
Neither of these two teams has had a solid defensive record this season. The hosts have failed to keep clean sheets in each of their last four matches. While the visitors have also failed to maintain a clean sheet in each of their past four league matches this season.
Thus, the chances are quite high for goals to come from either end of the pitch.
West Brom have a fine home record heading into the match. Their past two competitive home matches have both ended in victories. They also have a solid recent record against Middlesbrough. Furthermore, Middlesbrough has had a mediocre form going into the match.
A victory for West Brom at 2.15 odds will be our main betting pick here considering all the observations.
Furthermore, the both teams to score odds of 1.72 look to be very attractive. Given both clubs’ poor defensive performances and recent goal participation at both ends of the game.
