West Bromwich Albion host Scott Parker’s Burnley in a Championship clash between two sides hunting for promotion.
EFL Championship
Our Three Predictions For West Bromwich Albion vs Burnley:
- First Prediction: Match to end in a draw – 11/5
- Second Prediction: Under 2.5 goals to be scored – 11/20
- Third Prediction: Josh Maja to score anytime – 2/1
First Prediction For West Bromwich Albion vs Burnley – Match to end in a draw – 11/5
This season hasn’t been too dissimilar for both sides. Although they had a strong start to the campaign, results have dwindled in the last few weeks. West Brom have not won in seven games, however, many of these results have been draws, and Burnley have won once in the last five matches. With both sides out of form and looking for promotion, this could be a tightly matched contest between two strong sides, which could end in the honours being even at full-time.
Second Prediction For West Bromwich Albion vs Burnley – Under 2.5 goals to be scored – 11/20
With the aforementioned dip in both sides’ form, comes a dip in both side’s goalscoring form too. The Albion have only managed to score twice in their last five matches, and the Clarets only better this record by a singular goal. Throughout the season, Carlos Corberan’s side have only scored 14 goals, however, they are defensively strong and have only conceded eight goals in the Championship this season. Likewise, Burnley are the same, only concerning six goals, which alongside Sheffield United is the best defensive record in the league. Parker’s side have failed to score in their last two games, and their current top-scorer is midfielder Josh Brownhill. Both teams are defensively sound and haven’t got the best goalscoring record, so this may well end up being a low-scoring affair.
Third Prediction For West Bromwich Albion vs Burnley – Josh Maja to score at any time – 2/1
To counter the previous point, one player who has been far and away one of the top scorers this season is Baggies striker Josh Maja. The 25-year-old moved back to England to join Corberan at the Hawthorns after a short stint away playing in France. He has taken the Championship by storm so far, scoring eight goals in 13 matches, and is currently the second top-scorer in the league, behind Norwich City’s Borja Sainz. Before the game against Luton Town last Friday, he had failed to score in five, however, his impressive back-hell finish at Kenilworth Road will mean he is full of confidence going into this clash.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results and Head-To-Head:
For West Brom, their last five matches have all ended in draws. As previously mentioned they are winless in seven, yet unbeaten in five. A win would be monumental for any side in a game like this, but the Baggies really need to start picking up form and points if they are to stay in the play-off spots. Depending on this result, as Corberan’s side are sat 6th, there are a total of six teams who could potentially leapfrog Albion depending on their results.
For Burnley, if they were to lose this one, they wouldn’t slip out of the play-off spots but they would be dangerously close to doing so. In the Claret’s last five games, they have only won once, but they have also only lost once. The other three results have all ended in draws. Again, depending on other results, Parker’s side could possibly re-enter the automatic promotion spots with a win at the Hawthorns.
Since 2014, these sides have played each other many times, both in the Premier League and the Championship. Mainly playing each other in the top flight, West Brom have won three times and Burnley have won twice. However, draws have been prominent again between the two sides, with five of the 10 matchups ending in draws. In the Championship, the record is currently favouring Burnley, as they remain unbeaten against the Baggies in the Championship.
