West Brom v Burnley Betting Tips – Premier League 31st March 3.00pm

The Baggies are heading towards the Championship and they start the weekend ten points adrift from safety now and still with no win in sight. The Hawthorns is a gloomy place to be at the moment. Burnley enjoyed back to back wins just before the international break to snap themselves out of their winless streak in style. Can they keep it going on their trip to the Midlands?

West Brom News and Form

West Brom are on a seven-match losing streak in the top flight, going winless in eight. It is that bad of a situation for them. Defensively they have been a mess and they have shipped at least two goals in all but one of their last seven league defeats. There have been no home comforts for them as they have lost each of their last three home games and it’s hard to see how they are going to turn the tide. They are actually on a five-match scoring streak at home though but that has been little consolation for them. They have conceded nine goals in their last three games, but this is not likely to produce a lot of goals, so under 2.5 goals at bet365 is the option to roll with in this one at 1/2 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 05:42 p.m. on March 26th, 2018). West Brom have a W2 D7 L6 record at the Hawthorns this season and have no clean sheet in any of their last eight played (home and away combined). Even the low-scoring Burnley look at the major threat to them.

Burnley News and Form

The Clarets finally got over that long spell of winless matches and have burst back into life with back to back successes over Everton and West Ham. The victory over West Ham was in their last away game and a big 3-0 scoreline it was that the Clarets produced as well. That win at West Ham snapped a seven-match winless streak that they were on away from Turf Moor too (D4 L3) so they really needed that one. Burnley’s away record this season is W5 D6 L4. The Clarets have only conceded the fourteen goals this season away from home, and 71% of them have come in the second half of matches. Burnley have averaged exactly one goal per game out on the road and Chris Wood is a good 6/4* (Betting Odds taken at 05:42 p.m. on March 26th, 2018) anytime goalscorer option at bet365. He has scored three goals in his last two games for the Clarets. You would imagine that the organised Clarets are good enough to avoid defeat at the Hawthorns.
