Bristol City vs West Bromwich Albion Predictions

• West Brom are leading the way in the scoring charts with 1.8 goals per game.
• The visitors have the best away record in the division.
• Bristol City are winless at home to top-half sides.
• The Robins have lost 4 of their last 5 clashes with the top 10 teams.

Leaders Building Momentum

West Brom are unbeaten in four matches, as they build towards promotion. The visitors are top of the table after a fine campaign, while they bounced back from their blip with this excellent stretch of form. Now the Baggies are off to Ashton Gate, but can their bounce continue?

West Brom are aiming to build on their four-point lead as they prepare for this clash with Bristol City. The hosts are in the playoff mix, but with their patchy record against the leading sides and given West Brom’s fine record on the road, this is a great chance for the leaders.

Clinical Baggies

The visitors are leading the way in the scoring charts in the second tier. They’ve notched 59 goals, an average of 1.8 per game, while they’ve scored twice in four successive games. That’s after starting the campaign without the clinical forwards they had last term – with top scorer Charlie Austin on just eight goals for the season. They create tons of chances, have already been winning games and now they’re fresh from improving their side in the January transfer window.

West Brom’s Callum Robinson is averaging a goal or assist every 71 minutes in league games against Bristol City, scoring five goals and assisting two in 496 minutes of action. The former Robins forward has started four games on the spin since joining on loan, while he opened his account for the Baggies with a well-taken strike last weekend. We’re backing him to follow that up with another goal this weekend.

Travelling Triumphs

West Brom are leading the way for away points in the Championship, winning 10 times on their travels so far. They have picked up seven points more than any other side from away games so far, while they head into this clash following consecutive wins over Reading and Millwall. Meanwhile, Bristol City have a middling home record – the 13th best in the league – while they have a winless record at home to top-half teams.

Against the top 10 here, Bristol City have lost four of their five clashes. They have conceded over two goals per game across those clashes, while they face a West Brom team who have conceded only 14 times in 17 away trips. The visitors look incredibly solid and their good run of form suggests they’ll get a result here, so an away win and a 2-0 win for West Brom is our pick.
