West Brom v Stoke Betting Preview – Premier League 27th August 1.30pm
The Baggies have made a cracking start to the new season, looking defensively sound in picking up back to back wins. So credit to them for coming out of the blocks fast and will they be able to build on that when the Potters make a visit to the Hawthorns on the weekend? Stoke suffered an away defeat at Everton to kick off their season but respond in some fashion by taking a shock win over Arsenal last weekend.

West Brom v Stoke Betting Tips
It is only early in the new season, but the Baggies are up in the top three of the Premier League. That is thanks to their back to back wins over Bournemouth and Burnley and both of those victories were by a 1-0 scoreline. We may see that a lot throughout the season from West Brom. A West Brom 1-0 correct score option at bet365 is an 11/2 option while you have a price of 4/6 on both teams NOT to score. There probably aren’t going to be a whole load of goals flying around in his fixture. The Baggies have looked efficient more than spectacular, but that is what you would expect from them. They can take another win in this fixture. They have won their last three games against Stoke at the Hawthorns by a one goal margin, two of those being a 1-0 victory. So they have home form as well and West Brom to win to nil at bet365 returns a good price of 12/5 in this one. Stoke aren’t exactly likely to come out and threaten them too much.
Stoke may have pulled off one of the moves of the summer in the transfer market, but there was so little made of it. They managed to capture Spain international Jese from PSG to give themselves a boost. That could be huge for them in terms of creativity and he is a 10/3 anytime goalscorer option along with Saido Berahino and Jay Rodriguez for the visitors. The Potter’s have three points on the board from their opening two games, having lost 1-0 at Everton and then churning out a surprise 1-0 home win over Arsenal last weekend. There’s more of that 1-0 scoreline for you. Under 2.5 goals at bet365 is a price of 1/2 on this one and five of the last six game between the two have gone under the goal line so there is a good trend there. The Hawthorns hasn’t been a happy hunting ground for Stoke recently, with them being on a three match losing streak there.

West Brom v Stoke Predictions
West Brom to win: It’s been a strong defensive start from the Baggies and it will likely continue this weekend as well. Stoke really aren’t a great offensive threat and the home side can pick them off in a low scoring game.
