Plymouth vs West Brom Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Prediction published on 20/02/2024, 06:32  by Sridhar in Championship Predictions

Lower-half team Plymouth Argyle will look to pile on the misery of poor travellers West Brom when the sides meet in this week. This Championship match is scheduled for a Tuesday kick-off at the Home Park Stadium in Plymouth. The hosts are 16th in the standings with 37 points while the visitors are 5th with 52 points, both having played 32 matches. Plymouth were beaten 2-0 by Leeds, with the result keeping them winless in three league games. Two defeats in this sequence to Sunderland and Leeds have been their only reverses though, in this calendar year. They have won two and drawn three of their seven league games played this year raising hopes that they can steer clear of danger. There’s no imminent threat of relegation, but only five points separate them from the bottom-three. Thankfully, they play at a venue where they have won points in nine of their last ten Championship matches.

West Brom are also coming off a defeat, a 2-0 loss to fellow promotion hopefuls Southampton. That defeat was their first across four league games, but the Baggies find themselves in a tight spot. Five teams from 5th to 9th are separated by just three points which means the margin of error here is very less. In fact, the midweek fixtures could go against West Brom and see them slide to 6th if they lose here and Hull win against Southampton. Keeping aside Hull’s chances, West Brom’s own chances of a win here depend on overturning their recent away form as they lost three and drew one of their four most away games in the Championship.
