Our prediction for this Championship match:
WBA and Southampton square off against each other at the Hawthorns in the opening match of the Championship round 33. The Baggies aim to build on a 2-0 win over Cardiff City and you should know that they are eyeing their 12th home win of the process. Andreas Weimann is pushing for a recall to the starting XI after sealing the victory against the Bluebirds, while all Kyle Bartley, Daryl Dike, Matt Phillips, and Josh Maja are out of contention with injuries.
The Saints, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to Bristol City and given their attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. As for the away team, all Stuart Armstrong, Ryan Fraser, and Sekou Mara are pushing for a start, while Che Adams should be available for Friday’s encounter. Joe Aribo is back from the international duty, while Flynn Downes remains doubtful.
