Reading are the next obstacle for the team from the Midlands, as the Royals visit the Hawthorns on Wednesday night.
Slaven Bilic’s team has recorded wins over Nottingham Forest and last time out Luton, which were sandwiched by a 1-1 draw with Millwall.
The Baggies have a mixed recent record in the Championship, including the play-offs, as they have won just two of their last six games in the second tier, both of which have been this season.
Although the home side has failed to win in their last two home games in the Championship, they have now won five of their last seven outings in the second tier. They have also scored at least two goals in all five of the home wins.
Reading have made a poor start to their Championship campaign, losing two of their three games so far this season. However, there were signs of improvement last time out, as the Royals recorded a 3-0 home win over Cardiff City.
The game against the Bluebirds followed a familiar trend for Reading, as it was the fourth game of their last five in the Championship that had produced over 2.5 goals.
Reading have a woeful away record stretching back to last season, as the Royals have failed to win in six league games on their travels, while also winning just once in their last 20 away matches in the second tier.
They have also conceded at least two goals in four of their last five away matches in the Championship.
Forebet predicts that West Brom will record a victory in a high-scoring clash to maintain their good start to the Championship campaign.
