West Bromwich Albion Preview – Can the Baggies bounce back with a big three points?
West Bromwich Albion have slipped down to fifth position after recent results. They are just a point above seventh and 12 points away from leaders Fulham. Overall, the Midlands club have won 11, drawn nine and lost six of 26 Championship matches.
West Brom have won just two of their previous ten league games. Since securing back-to-back wins over Coventry City and Reading in early December, Albion have taken a mere two points from a possible 12. Last time out, they conceded late to lose 1-0 to fellow promotion hopefuls Queens Park Rangers in the capital.
Having won just one home league game in over two months, no less than three points will suffice from this one. West Brom are the clear bookies’ favourites at 3/10.
Peterborough United Preview – Lowly Posh to struggle at The Hawthorns?
Staying in the Championship was always the priority when Peterborough United were promoted from League One last term. As many had anticipated, Posh have had a tough time on their second-tier return, losing 15 times already.
Peterborough are in the relegation zone at present having taken a mere 19 points from 24 matches. No team in the Championship have lost more games, while United have picked up just five wins. Peterborough have only won once in the league since October.
