Prediction: 1-1
West Bromwich
Bournemouth will be looking to kick off the new Championship campaign in style when they take on WBA at Vitality Stadium on Friday evening. The Cherries rolled over MK Dons 5-0 in their EFL Cup opener, meaning that they are high on spirits ahead of the visit of WBA. Dominic Solanke, who found the net in the crushing of MK Dons, will be the man to watch in the home team, while Jack Stacey is a major doubt after picking up an injury in the EFL Cup clash.
The Baggies, on the other hand, were not competitive in the Premier League side, and, as a result, they dropped to the Championship. WBA are eyeing a quick return to the English top flight, and we are positive that they will go for a win in the season opener. Given Bournemouth’s attacking potential, both teams to score betting option should be considered. WBA centre-back Ahmed Hegazy should be fit to face the Cherries after he represented Egypt at the Olympics.
