Tottenham Hotspur vs West Bromwich Albion Predictions
- Over 2.5 goals were scored in eight of West Brom’s last nine Premier League games.
- WBA have conceded 26 goals in their last nine league matches.
- West Brom have won just two of their 22 league fixtures this season.
- Tottenham beat West Brom when the teams last faced off in November.
Mourinho on the brink?
Jose Mourinho became the front runner in the Premier League sack race in midweek after Tottenham Hotspur fell to a limp 1-0 reverse at home to city rivals Chelsea in North London.
The Portuguese manager’s risk averse strategy saw Spurs give up two third of the ball against the possession hungry Blues, and Tottenham’s negative approach had supporters seething on social media.
The defeat, which was Tottenham’s third in a row, leaves Spurs down in 8th spot ahead of the visit of a troubled West Brom team on Sunday, where nothing short of a comfortable victory will suffice.
Baggies blunted by Blades
West Brom passed up another huge opportunity to gain some ground in the battle for survival on Tuesday when Albion were beaten 2-1 by bottom club Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.
The Baggies have now taken just one point from their last four league assignments, and the master of top-flight escapology, Sam Allardyce, is starting to look like he’s lost his magic touch.
Look to goal markets on Sunday
Despite their three-game losing slump, Tottenham are a short price to beat second from bottom WBA on Sunday, though more value could be found in the goal markets.
Albion have conceded a whopping 26 goals in nine Premier League fixtures since Sam Allardyce’s appointment, and West Brom have shipped at least two goals all but one of Big Sam’s matches in charge.
Over 2.5 goals backers have enjoyed success in a further eight of WBA’s nine games under Allardyce’s instruction overall, and the Baggies’ inability to keep the door shut should lead to more goalmouth action on Sunday.
Tottenham are in desperate need of a win, and a date with a porous West Brom outfit could be just the tonic. Spurs’ confidence will be low, so they might have to endure a wobble or two against Big Sam’s set-piece specialists. However, our 2-1 correct score prediction backs the hosts to eventually prevail.
