West Brom v Burnley Betting Preview – Premier League 21st November
This could be a pretty evenly matched contest in the Premier League on Monday night. The Baggies need a win to leapfrog the Clarets and haul themselves into the top half of the table at the same time. So an important home game for the Baggies who hammered Burley 4-0 on the only other occasion that they have hosted them in the Premier League. The Clarets go into the game one point better off in the top flight so far than West Brom and are on a three match unbeaten streak, which is way better form than what the Baggies have produced lately. This should be a pretty interesting affair.

West Brom v Burnley Betting Tips
West Brom are usually a reliable home side in the Premier League,but they are looking for just their second win there this season. Overall they have gone W1 D2 L2 so far at the Hawthorns, which isn’t great. They had managed to put together a three match unbeaten streak at home though before Manchester City turned up and thumped them 4-0 to snap it. That was West Brom’s last home fixture and they did bounce back from that heavy defeat just before the international break by taking a win on the road at Leicester. Overall home and away this season in the top flight, Tony Pulis has guided West Brom to a W2 D3 L2 record in their last seven games played. The Baggies aren’t a huge threat going forward, but they have scored in six of their last seven Premier League games. Both teams to score in this fixture at Bet365 will fetch you a price of even money.
The last and only time that West Brom have hosted Burnley in the Premier League, the Baggies took a 4-0 win. Saido Berahino got a brace in that game and up in the anytime goalscorer market, the Baggies have Salomon Rondo and Berahino at the 7/4 mark to score with Bet365. The Baggies have a great run of head to head form going against the Clarets, going unbeaten in their last nine and winning eight of those nine. So a good trend there. The Baggies have won just one of their last 11 games against promoted sides in the Premier League (D4 L6), but their last home win against a newly promoted side was against Burnley in September 2014. The Baggies have played nine previous Premier League games on a Monday and from those games they have posted a W3 D4 L2 record. The Baggies have just the one clean sheet in their last nine games at home in the league, so there could be goals in his.
But Burnley remain winless out on the road this season in the top flight, with a D1 L3 record from their four games away so far. They have only returned the one goal out on the road as well, which isn’t good so they have clear issues finding the back of the net. But Sam Vokes has now scored in three of Burnley’s last four league games (and he was the one who scored their only away goal this term too) and he is a price of 11/4 in the anytime goalscorer market. Burnley conceded exactly three goals in each of their three away defeats this season and there is such a contrast between their home and away from. The Clarets have taken one point from 12 available away from home, compared to 13 from 21 at Turf Moor. Burnley have conceded in each of their last 19 league games against the Baggies. These two should be evenly matched up, with these two sides have played the highest proportion of passes long in the Premier League this season: WBA (24.5%) and Burnley (23.3%).

West Brom v Burnley Predictions
Even though the Clarets have struggled or away goals there is a temptation to go with a both teams to score wager in this one. That is because the Baggies are struggling for top flight clean sheets. Up in the correct score market you have a quote of 17/2 on a West Brom 2-1 win which should be tempting, and at the end of the day, West Brom should win this game even if it just by the one goal margin.
