WEST BROM v CHELSEA
Friday 12th May 2017 – Kickoff: 2000hrs
Football – England – Premier League Betting Tips
West Brom will be hoping they can snap their miserable recent run of form in the Premier League on Friday night when they play host to title contenders Chelsea, following six league matches without a win.
The Hawthorns is usually a pretty solid base for the home side but The Baggies have lost their last three on the trot on home turf with defeats suffered against Southampton, Liverpool and Leicester City amidst a once reasonable home record that now stands at a slightly disappointing 9-2-7 27/21.
This fixture will be West Brom’s last home game of the season and they’ll be hoping they can finish off in style by beating the prospective title holders here. However, a below-par record at home against top half opposition of 2-1-5 9/12 may hold them back in this clash.
Chelsea make their way to the west midlands on Friday evening knowing that all three points at The Hawthorns will hand them the Premier League title for the first time in three years, and having registered the most away wins in the English top flight along with two wins from the last three meetings against West Brom, The Blues could finally get over the line tonight.
A disappointing campaign last season has actually helped Chelsea this time around as they’ve had no european distractions to contend with, and with five league wins from their last six matches overall, they look to be closing in on the title in impressive fashion.
Chelsea’s away record stands at 12-3-3 29/16, and although they suffered a recent 2-0 defeat at Manchester United, they bounced back in triumphant fashion with a 3-0 win at Everton last time on the road.
The likes of Hazard, Costa and Pedro could feature this evening.
Pick: Chelsea AH-1 @ 1.61 Bet Victor
