West Brom host Burnley at the Hawthorns on Monday in the Premier League, with both teams looking for points to keep them away from the dreaded relegation zone.
The two teams are separated by just one point and one position in the Premier League table. Both teams head into the clash in good spirits having won last time out.
In fact, the visitors are now three games unbeaten in the Premier League, having recorded two wins. However, the Clarets have failed to win any of their four away games in the top-flight since being promoted, losing three times in the process. Sean Dyche’s team have also conceded three goals in each of those defeats.
In contrast, the Baggies have been poor at the Hawthorns in the top-flight of late, winning just one of their last Premier League games on home soil. Tony Pulis side have also won just three of their last 20 top-flight outings.
Recent history suggests there could be goals in this game, as there has been over 2.5 goals scored in West Brom’s last three top-flight games, while there has also been over 2.5 goals scored in three of Burnley’s last four Premier League outings.
The recent meetings between the two teams have been goal-filled as well. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in the last eight meetings between these two teams. There has also been over 2.5 goals scored in their last five meetings at the Hawthorns in all competitions.
This could be a close game between two evenly matched teams and they will be hard to separate. The Baggies poor home record and the Clarets poor away record suggests that this could well end all square.
Forebet predicts that this clash will end in a draw with over 2.5 goals scored. On the sheer facts, it looks like a highly shrewd bet.
