West Brom v Chelsea Betting Tips
Will the Baggies prevent Chelsea from collecting the Premier League title on Friday night? West Brom aren’t in great form at the moment but don’t have bad head to head form against the Blues going. West Brom are winless in their last six league games (D2 L4) and have won just one of their last nine. They have slipped to a three-match losing streak at the Hawthorns too, and have gone D1 L4 in their last five home games in the top flight. That was after losing just two of their previous 13 home games this season. They have been struggling for goals to as they have failed to score now in seven of their last nine games home and away in the Premier League and under 2.5 goals at Sky Bet is a price of even money. West Brom have actually won three of their last five league games at the Hawthorns against Chelsea. None of the 21 Premier League meetings between these sides has ended goalless and in the Sky Bet correct score market, a Chelsea 2-0 is the shortest priced option at 11/2. West Brom’s Salomon Rondon is a 10/3 anytime goalscorer option.
Diego Costa is 4/6 outright favourite in the Sky Bet anytime goalscorer market for this with Eden Hazard at 11/8. Diego Costa has scored in three of his five Premier League appearances against West Brom, scoring three goals in total. So three more points and the title is Chelsea’s. Plus too, if Chelsea does win, they will equal Manchester United’s record of 42 away points for a single season in the Premier League. The Blues have lost one of their last eight Premier League games against West Brom (D4 D3) but have won just one of their last four at the Hawthorns (D1 L2). They have reclaimed some strong current form though after losing to Manchester United, because they are on a three-match winning streak, scoring ten goals in those games. The Blues have gone W4 L1 in their last five away games and both teams to score at William Hill is a price of 11/10. The Blues beat West Brom 1-0 earlier in the season, but haven’t won back to back games in any of their last ten meetings with the Baggies.
