West Brom v Tottenham Betting Preview – Premier League 15th October
Tough game for the Baggies, who have actually been a tough side to beat this season. They have managed just the two wins this season despite all of their resilience and they are charged with trying to break down the best defence in the league on the weekend. Spurs are running confidently in second place heading into the weekend and will be hoping to build on the brilliant display which saw them become the first side to beat Manchester City this season. After their superb win over the Champions elect, can they pick up a win in the Midlands?

West Brom v Tottenham Betting Tips
So there is a big challenge ahead for West Brom on Saturday afternoon in the Premier League. They have gone W1 D1 L1 at home this season so far at the Hawthorns in the league, but they are taking a three match unbeaten streak into this one after a home win over West Ham and then back to back 1-1 draws out at Stoke and Sunderland respectively. The 1-1 correct score punt turning up again is a viable option for their meeting with Tottenham and it is a price of 13/2 with online betting site Betfred. There was a 1-1 draw between the two of them in each of their Premier League meetings last season. West Brom aren’t a prolific side of course, but they have managed to hit the back of the net in all but one of their games so far in this season’s Premier League. Both Teams to score in Saturday’s game is a 5/6 punt. The Baggies have the second lowest amount of possession in this season’s top flight, so will be on the back foot for a lot of the time.
The Baggies don’t have any kind of form going against the Lilywhites really, not winning form anyway. They have taken just the one win in their last 13 against Spurs in the top flight, drawing seven and losing five of them. The Baggies have only posted a winless D3 L3 record in their last six home games against them as well. A draw frankly wouldn’t be a bad result for them here. Former Spurs man Nacir Chadli has been a great capture for the Baggies and he has been involved in five of their last six league goals, scoring three. His three goals in four league games for West Brom this season is as many as he netted in 30 games with Spurs. Chadli can be backed at a price of 7/2 in the anytime goalscorer market. West Brom have failed to score in two of their last four home games against Tottenham so you can probably float under the 2.5 goals line for a price of 3/4 as seven of the last nine meetings have gone that way.
Tottenham are on a four match winning streak in the Premier League now, with clean sheets in three of them and just one goal conceded in total. Brilliant in defence are Tottenham and with them holding the best defensive record in the top flight this term with just three goals shipped, then a Tottenham to win to nil wager will fetch you a price of 7/4. Their form and confidence was highlighted in their 2-0 win over Manchester City just before the international break, the break coming at the wrong time for Spurs probably as they would have liked to have kept going from that. Son Heung-Min is a 13/8 shot in the anytime goalscorer market and the Korean has scored six goals and assisted two more in his last seven games. Christian Eriksen has scored in two of his three trips to the Hawthorns as well and is trading at a price of 9/4 in the anytime goalscorer market.
So it has been an unbeaten start to the new season for Spurs and only once before, back in the 1960/61 campaign (21 pts, assuming 3 points for a win) did Spurs make a better start to a top-flight league season than in this campaign (17 pts from opening seven games). So maybe there are huge positives to come down the line for them this season in the title chase. Nine of their previous twenty games against West Brom in the Premier League have actually ended in a draw though, so that 45% of all the fixtures between these having ended in parity. So this isn’t going to be easy for Spurs most likely and a Tottenham to win by a one goal margin is a good 5/2 punt if you are backing them.

West Brom v Tottenham Predictions
That 1-1 scoreline keeps cropping up and that may be a valuable punt to roll with again. West Brom have a degree of resiliency about them that will make Tottenham’s afternoon long and enduring. But the Baggies don’t look capable of busting out a win over the in form Spurs at the moment, so settle for under 2.5 goals and a draw in the Hawthorns clash. The home side would be very happy with that.
