West Bromwich Albion vs Sheffield Wednesday Predictions

• West Brom have seen both teams score in 100% of their home games this term.
• However, the Baggies have still done enough going forward to take top spot.
• The Championship’s second-highest scorers have averaged 2.4 goals per game at home this term.
• Over 3.5 goals has landed in 71% of West Brom’s home games.

Leading From the Front

The league leaders go in search of another three points this weekend, while their run of high scoring home games could be extended. The Baggies have averaged over four goals in total per game this season, with both teams scoring in 100% of their home games. To have that form behind them and still top the table shows how strong West Brom are in attack.

That’s obviously bad news for Sheffield Wednesday, who have failed to win any of their last three going into this trip. Garry Monk also heads into this clash having lost his last two visits to the Hawthorns, so this could be a tricky away day for the visitors.

Worries for Wednesday

The visitors don’t have the greatest form backing them here, while they aren’t really excelling against the league’s top sides. Sheffield Wednesday’s seven league wins this season have been against teams currently in the bottom eight in the division. Now they need to turn that form around at a West Brom side who are unbeaten in six against the Owls.

Clinical Baggies

The league leaders remain unbeaten at home this season, with some high scoring form taking them top of the division. They host a Sheffield Wednesday side who are just outside the top six, while the visitors come here having lost four of their eight away trips. Unsurprisingly, the Baggies are favourites for a victory this weekend.

West Brom have scored two or more goals in their last five home matches, averaging 2.4 goals per game at the Hawthorns. They’ve successfully managed to adjust from last season’s top-heavy team to create plenty of chances. Wednesday come here having conceded twice in back to back games and West Brom’s impressive 15% shot conversion rate at home suggests they’ll add to that. We’re backing over 1.5 West Brom goals in this one.

West Brom have seen over 3.5 goals in 71% of their home games this season, conceding twice in each of their last five here. They’ve seen five or more goals in 43% of their matches at the Hawthorns, while all of Sheffield Wednesday’s defeats this season have come by a single goal. Given that form, we are going with a 3-2 victory for West Brom in this clash.
