West Bromwich Albion News and Form – Baggies to claim another win?
Slaven Bilic’s West Bromwich Albion have been the real deal in the Championship so far this season, winning ten of their opening 17 matches. No team in England’s second tier have lost fewer games, with only Leeds United getting the better of Albion so far.
Despite their lofty league position, six clubs have picked up more home points. However, West Brom have won four and drawn four on their own patch, beating Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 at The Hawthorns last time out. Meanwhile, Bilic’s boys have the best away record, accruing 20 points from a possible 27.
Ahead of this round of fixtures, you can get West Brom at the decent price of 11/4 to win the Championship title, behind only Leeds at evens. Meanwhile, the Midlands outfit are available at just 2/5 for promotion. Will the leaders add another three points to their tally in midweek?

Bristol City News and Form – Can the Robins avoid defeat at The Hawthorns?
Lee Johnson’s Bristol City have had a fine season so far. The Robins are currently in seventh place with 29 points to their name along with Fulham, Nottingham Forest and Swansea City. Meanwhile, only Wednesday’s opponents West Brom have suffered fewer defeats up until now.
Bristol City have one of the best away records in the Championship this term, with only West Brom and Leeds, the current top two, securing more points on their travels so far. The Robins have won four, drawn four and lost one of nine.
Having drawn three of their last four, City would undoubtedly love all three points at The Hawthorns in midweek. However, they would snap your hand off for a draw.

West Bromwich Albion to win and both teams to score at 21/10
Team to win both halves – West Bromwich Albion at 3/1

West Bromwich Albion vs Bristol City Predictions
West Bromwich Albion win: Albion are the team to beat in the Championship at the moment. Bilic, who previously managed the likes of West Ham United and Croatia, has settled in nicely in the Midlands. Bristol City are a tough nut to crack under Johnson these days, but West Brom will back themselves to get the job done in this one.
The Baggies have conceded in every league and cup home game this season, and I fancy Bristol City to net at The Hawthorns. Back the West Brom win and both teams to score at 21/10. I also like the look of the home side to win both halves at 3/1.
