West Bromwich Albion vs Brighton Predictions

• West Bromwich Albion were knocked out of the FA Cup by Brighton at home in 2019.
• West Bromwich Albion lost their last three home games vs Premier League opposition.
• Brighton are unbeaten in six of their last seven games.

An unwelcome distraction for the Baggies

Valerian Ismael finds himself under pressure as West Brom boss after his side have tumbled out of the top-two picture for now. As such, matters of promotion will likely precede dreams of FA Cup glory as far as their season is concerned.

While they would prefer league success, the fact remains that West Brom are a solid home side, they are the only unbeaten home side in the Championship but they will err on the side of caution here after conceding ten goals in their last three home games vs top-flight opponents.

Seagulls dream of soaring to glory

Brighton have established themselves as a solid side in the Premier League this season and as such, they look like serious top-half challengers. Given that they have no relegation worries, cup success could be their best way to take the next step into European football.

Expect a full strength lineup from Graham Potters’ Brighton as he seeks his first managerial triumph over the Baggies (D1, L3).

Given the circumstances of both sides respective season’s, a Brighton win looks like real value. I will back them in the draw no bet market as West Brom are undoubtedly a solid side, but Brighton can most definitely get the better of the promotion-chasing West Midlanders.
