West Bromwich Albion vs Wolverhampton Predictions

• Wolves have only lost one of their last nine games in all competitions
• Six of West Brom’s last nine matches have gone under 2.5 goals
• West Brom’s last three defeats have all been to nil

Wolves fancied for bragging rights

Wolves have put in an impressive campaign under Gary O’Neil in the Premier League and they are currently level on points with Newcastle. They are only three points off a European spot in a congested middle of the top flight table and they are fancied to get the better of their rivals West Brom in this FA Cup matchup.

The Baggies  have been in solid form in the Championship and currently sit fifth, but goals have been a slight issue. Their 40 in 28 games is the lowest tally in the top ten and that could be a major issue in this clash.

Only six teams in the Premier League have a better defensive record than Wolves this season and that could be the difference between these two teams.

West Brom may come up short

While West Brom are having a solid campaign in the second tier, they remain 12 points behind Leeds as the front four in the Championship pull away. There is a gulf in class between these two teams and with this being a derby, expect Gary O’Neil to field a strong lineup.

The visitors are fancied to get the win and correct score backers should note the fact that six of West Brom’s last nine games have gone under the total, take a 2-0 Wolves win.
