Bournemouth v West Brom Betting Tips – Premier League 17th March 3.00pm

West Brom are rapidly heading to the Championship and they head into the weekend action in the Premier League eight points away from safety and stuck at the bottom of the table. There just doesn’t appear to be any way out of this mess. Bournemouth are six points clear of the drop zone and will fancy their odds of collecting more survival points for themselves in this one.

Bournemouth News and Form

The Cherries have lost only two games since December 26th in the top flight so they have been doing pretty well for themselves. They don’t have a win in any of their last four played though (D2 L2). Their home form for the season reads W5 D4 L6 and they have managed to score in each of their last six home games. In the bet365 correct score market a Bournemouth 1-0 option is in at 13/2 odds with only the 1-1 shorter at 6/1* (Betting Odds taken at 5:48 p.m. on March 13th, 2018) and victory moves them further clean of trouble and towards the middle of the table. The Cherries kick off in this one six points clear of the drop zone. They have averaged 1.4 goals per game at home this season and each of their last seven games at the Vitality have gone over 2.5 goals. That’s been a high return of goals in their home games because they haven’t been tight defensively and are without a clean sheet in any of their last nine home fixtures. Both teams to score is trading at 4/5 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 5:48 p.m. on March 13th, 2018).

West Brom News and Form

West Brom tanked to a 4-1 defeat against Leicester on the weekend and then Baggies are eight points adrift at the foot of the table and are unlikely to get themselves safe for the season. It’s a mess and they are on a six-match losing streak, having gone winless in seven. They have shipped at least three goals in four of their last six games so have been taking a battering at the back. West Brom have collected just the one victory in their last 28 Premier League games now and their away form makes for even more miserable reading. They have lost their last three on the road and are winless in their last fourteen away from the Hawthorns, part of a W1 D4 L10 away record for the season. They are without a goal in their last three away games and Bournemouth to win to nil with Bet365 has to offer some appeal at 21/20 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 5:48 p.m. on March 13th, 2018). It’s probably not going to take much for the West Brom heads to drop. The Baggies have ruined only seven away goals for the season which is less than half a goal per game on average.

Bournemouth v West Brom Head to Head

While Bournemouth have put together an uneaten W2 D1 record in their last three home games against West Brom, the Baggies have won the last two league meetings against the Cherries, including a 2-0 home success over them earlier this season. In the five previous Premier League meetings, things are level with two wins each and one draw. All wins in that sequence were by a one-goal margin only.
