West Bromwich vs Swansea Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 31st August 2024

The new Championship campaign continues on Saturday in a round 4 match between last season’s top six finishers West Bromwich and Swansea at The Hawthorns.

Looking at the current standings in the Championship, the two teams are separated by three points.

West Bromwich have piled up seven points from the first three matches played. This puts them at number 4 in the Championship table, with Swansea having three points less to show off. This qualifies the latter to a ranking as number 8.

West Bromwich and Swansea have high hopes for this new season and should be expected to put up a good game as they chase three important points in round 4.

West Bromwich go into their next Championship match, scoring a humble average of 1.2 per game in their last ten matches. They scored a mundane 12 times, while conceding 11. That amounts to an average of 1.1 per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring four times.

Swansea managed a bearable 14 goals from their past ten games, creating an average of 1.4 goals per game. They conceded eight goals in total, and while claiming four clean sheets, they conceded 0.8 goals an average per game.

West Bromwich lost to 1-0 Swansea in their last encounter. This served as payback for the 3-2 win, which West Bromwich dished out the match before that.

West Bromwich vs Swansea Prediction

West Bromwich Form

In their last three matches, West Bromwich lost 2-1 against Fleetwood, drew 0-0 against Leeds, before winning 1-2 against Stoke. West Bromwich only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent Championship matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew three and lost one, as they scored seven and conceded three goals.

While a title challenge may be a bit of a stretch, West Bromwich look a solid bet for a top three finish at the end of the season.

Swansea Form

Swansea have been inconsistent in their last three matches. They claimed a 3-0 win against Preston, before drawing 1-1 with Cardiff. This little streak came to an end, when Wycombe proved too strong in a 0-1 defeat for Swansea. Swansea managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Championship. On top of winning once they also drew two as well as losing three, while scoring seven time and letting in seven.

While a title challenge may be a bit of a stretch, West Bromwich look a solid bet for a top three finish at the end of the season.

Head-to-head encounters tend to bring out the best in both sides, and we fully expect the trend to continue, when West Bromwich renew Swansea their acquaintance.
