West Brom
- West Bromwich Albion have won one of their last five (W1, D1, L3), and have a 1-1-1 record in their last 3 games at the Hawthorns (W1, D1, L1).
- West Brom and Norwich City are both in the bottom half of the Championship table with 31 and 24 points from 26 games respectively, standing in 18th and 22nd place ahead of their clash on Tuesday.
- Ramsay’s early tenure in charge has seen the Baggies show increased pressing and transitions, and they can be expected to press better and transition into the attack much faster under him.
Norwich
- Norwich City are in improved form with two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five, but have lost their last two at home.
- Clement has focused on restoring structure and aggressive pressing to halt Norwich’s slide down the table, although the Canaries remain in deep trouble.
Head-to-Head
- Their previous meeting was a 1-0 away victory for West Brom three months ago.
- Norwich have not won in their last two trips to the Hawthorns.
Key Players
Both teams have their chief goal threat, with Aune Selland Heggeboe scoring eight in 26 for the Albion and Jovon Makama bagging nine in 23 appearances.
Betting Insights
- With 1.81 on the home team and 4.2 on the away team, the odds don’t reflect the respective situations of these teams and the draw comes in at 3.6.
- With both teams to score coming in at a fairly short 1.73, we’re going for that bet, as both sides should be looking to press the action, with Clement looking for a win and Ramsay needing to stamp his authority.
Prediction
We’re backing the home side to edge out the visitors in what should be a close game.
