West Brom v Everton Betting Preview – Premier League 20th August
The Baggies will have taken some confidence from an away win at Crystal Palace last weekend. They weren’t particularly favourites to get out of Selhurst Park with all three points after having done nothing in the transfer market over the summer. They got their win and now return to the Hawthorns for the visit of Everton. The Toffees had to settle for a share of the spoils in their tough home opener against Tottenham last weekend. Will they get anything out on the road or will the Baggies come good again?

West Brom v Everton Betting Tips
Well the Baggies went out and put a win on the board last weekend. They rolled into Selhurst Park and got out with a 1-0 win, which not many punters really will have seen coming. Next it is on to their opening home fixture of the season when Everton come to visit on Saturday. The Baggies have struggled for league wins over Everton recently and with them not dipping into the transfer market over the summer, things are pretty much same-old same-old for them. The Baggies have managed just two wins in their last ten Premier League games against Everton now and they went down 3-2 in this corresponding fixture last season. That high goal return was out of the norm as five of the last six clashes between these two in the English top flight have gone under the 2.5 goal line. You can back this one to do so as well at a price of 4/7 with online betting site Bet365.
The Baggies have not won any of their last three at home against Everton in the Premier League (D1 L2) and they aren’t in good home form overall. They rounded off last season at the Hawthorns in miserable fashion with a D1 L3 record from their last four played there. The last time that they went five in a row in the league without a win back only in December 2014. It was Salomon Rondon who netted the winner for the Baggies against Palace on the weekend, making it a three-game scoring streak for him in the top flight. Saido Berahino was the last man to score four in a row for West Brom just back in October 2014. Rondon to score anytime during the match is a good 2/1 shot with Berahino a little longer at a quote of 9/4. Since Tony Pulis took over at West Brom, only Arsenal, Man City and Man Utd have managed more clean sheets than they have during that period.
Everton will be relatively pleased with their draw against Spurs last weekend at Goodison Park. A decent return for new boss Ronald Koeman. Interestingly the Toffees are on a poor run of form away from home though carrying on from last season. They failed to win any of their last six road games last season in a D2 L4 sequence. So a lot of improvement to come. They have signed the exciting and quick Yannick Bolasie from Crystal Palace, who incidentally faced West Brom last weekend. The Toffees need to get Romelu Lukaku going as his goal drought in the top flight continued last weekend. He has gone without a single goal or an assist in any of his last nine Premier League outings. He can be backed at a quote of 7/4 for this one to score at anytime. The Toffees have gone unbeaten in their last three visits to the Hawthorns and Everton’s only loss in their last seven Premier League matches against West Brom was in February this year (W3 D3 L1).

West Brom v Everton Predictions
Two sides looking for respective form home and away. That may mean this one ends up in parity and the draw in the match outright looks a bit of value. Everton will steadily get sharper under Koeman and they can be happy with their work against Spurs last weekend. West Brom will have earned big confidence from their away win last season, but they may not be able to back it up with another triumph. Score draw.
