Championship Betting

West Brom v Bristol City Betting Tips – Championship, 18th September 8.00pm

This should be a good contest at the Hawthorns on Wednesday night in the Championship. West Brom are starting the midweek action in eighth place in the second tier while Bristol City have just started to show up very strongly with a purple patch of four straight wins behind them. Read our predictions for West Brom v Bristol City.

West Brom News and Form

It has been a solid season from the Baggies but they have just been struggling to get a good winning streak going. They are W3 D1 L1 in their last five games so it is pretty decent from them. At the Hawthorns they have won their last two games and have netted nine goals in total across those matches which were against QPR and Stoke. There are some defensive concerns from them though because they are still on the hunt for their first clean sheet of the season. Because of that both teams to score is at 8/11 odds for the game* (betting odds taken from September 17th, 2018 at 11:00 pm).

Four of their seven games in the Championship this season have ended over 2.5 goals and we like that trend for our Bristol City v West Brom predictions. Over 2.5 goals is at 9/10 odds* (betting odds taken from September 17th, 2018 at 11:00 pm). Their three fixtures at the Hawthorns this season have gone above that goal line. Tyrone Mings could get some game time in this one after missing recent action following his singing. The Baggies played out a 1-1 draw last weekend against Birmingham and it was a really poor performance from them there as they couldn’t hold on to any kind of possession.

Bristol City News and Form

It has been such a positive streak by the Robins who have strung together a four-match winning streak. They have soared up the table and in that sequence, they have fired off nine unanswered goals as well. Out on the road this season in the Championship they are unbeaten with a W2 D1 record and the two wins in that sequence were both with a clean sheet. We do fancy them shipping in this one though as the Baggies have scoring power in them so 2-1 win for City is at 12/1 odds in the correct score and will have some appeal in this one considering how well they are playing* (betting odds taken from September 17th, 2018 at 11:00 pm).

Last weekend they took a win over Sheffield United and they will likely keep pretty much the same side that performed well in that one. Bristol City have Andreas Weimann in hot scoring form for them with five goals to his name this season. Considering his scoring form then he is at 13/5 odds in the anytime goalscorer market for the game* (betting odds taken from September 17th, 2018 at 11:00 pm). This would be a pretty big three points out on the road if they could extended their winning streak.

West Brom v Bristol City Head to Head

This will be the first coming together between the two sides since 2016 when they met in the FA Cup. The Baggies won the replay 1-0 after a 2-2 draw at home. The last time they met in the league was back in the 2009/10 Championship season when they traded home wins. There have only been the four previous Championship meetings between the two clubs there have been three home wins and a draw. The Baggies are undefeated in their last five home games against the Robins, winning three.

West Brom v Bristol City Predictions

Bristol City to win: The Robins carry a decent threat at the moment and we are going to back them to come up with the points. They are in great form right now and West Brom, for want of a better word, poor against Birmingham last weekend. We fancy the  Robins to get maximum points.
