They lost 3-2 against Swansea, before Blackburn won 2-1, while Stoke claimed all three points in a 2-1 win.

Swansea managed a decent return of three wins in their last six Championship away matches, in which they scored ten while also conceding six times. They also experienced one draw and two defeats.
A season somewhat above expectations could perhaps make West Bromwich Albion a contender in a title race, though they do look capable of a podium finish if catching the right momentum.
You could argue a case on behalf of both teams, but form quite simply looks better, and the prices with the bookmakers for a home win are decent. Therefore, West Bromwich Albion get the nod here against Swansea.
