West Brom travel to Turf Moor to face Burnley in midweek in a huge game at the top end of the Championship.
West Brom are in decent form as they look to secure a play-off place for the end of the season. WBA have had a good campaign that has been filled with change
Carlos Corberan left the club in December and Tony Mowbray returned to the club and has kept them going in the right direction.
The Baggies are unbeaten in the last four games and beat QPR 1-0 at the weekend. That result came on the back of an impressive draw away at 1st placed Leeds United.
This will be a huge test for the Baggies though, as their opponents Burnley are unbeaten at home this season.
The Clarets have won their last three games in the league and have found their scoring touch at the right time, bouncing back from their disappointing FA Cup defeat brilliantly.
Scott Parker’s side have scored 10 goals in their last three games, including two 4-0 wins in consecutive home games.
Here, a handful of our writers make their predictions for the game…
“I cannot imagine this game will be much of a thriller. West Brom have been very solid recently but are not scoring many goals, which is uncharacteristic for a Mowbray side.
“Burnley are scoring goals a lot more all of a sudden. However, I can’t see them playing as much of an expansive game against a good side like WBA.
“With that said, I think this game has one goal in it at best but I think it will be a draw. West Brom will likely push for it but Burnley are just so solid at home.”
James Ray
“Burnley produced a dominant win over Luton Town at the weekend and on home turf once again, they’ll be hoping for more of the same here.
“It’s safe to say West Brom are a far stronger opponent though. The Baggies are unbeaten in four and claimed an important win at the weekend, so they should be hopeful of getting something here.
“Away form really hasn’t been to easy to come by for WBA though. I wouldn’t rule out a point, but I’ll say Burnley get a win to put the pressure on Leeds United and Sheffield United.”
