West Bromwich Albion will entertain city rivals Aston Villa in what promises to be a fierce derby match in the SkyBet Championship. The leagues two highest scoring sides will clash.
The Baggies will be hoping to bounce back from a frustrating 1-1 draw with Brentford on Monday night. Meanwhile, Aston Villa will be hoping to continue their high scoring form after their dominant 3-0 victory over Middlesbrough.
West Brom are priced at 13/10 to win in front of a home crowd by SkyBet. The hosts currently boast the league’s best scoring record with 42 goals. 64% of those goals are at the Hawthorns. They have both Dwight Gayle and Jay Rodriguez to help with that stat, who have managed 9 goals each this season. Rodriguez has been getting more game time recently and is 4/1 to score first, the same as the aforementioned Gayle.
Defensively, Darren Moore remains a frustrated man as his side have kept just one clean sheet all season. The Baggies have the worst defensive record in the top six and face the most prolific scorers other than themselves. West Brom to win and both teams to score is a tempting 5/2.
Aston Villa are priced at 19/10 by SkyBet to continue their impressive form. Dean Smith unbeaten five match record, in which they have scored a whopping 17 goals. Amongst the action has been loanee striker Tammy Abraham. The youngster has bagged seven goals in his last four matches and is 11/8 to score anytime.
One stat that won’t please Dean Smith is his clubs record at the Hawthorns, as they have failed to win in their last six visits.
His side will have to get their act together defensively. Along with their impressive scoring has come some pretty torrid defending. They have conceded seven in their last three matches. This match has all the promise for a goal fest. For both teams to score in both halves, SkyBet are offering 11/2.
