Match Preview
Last season, the Baggies were in the race for Premier League promotion, finishing fifth in the Championship. However, their playoff run ended after a 1-3 away defeat to Southampton. This season, West Brom started strong and currently sits sixth after 13 rounds. They've only lost twice, securing five wins, though they’re now on a five-game draw streak in the Championship and haven’t won in seven consecutive matches. In their last outing, they drew 1-1 away at Luton.
Burnley, under Scott Parker, is pushing hard for a return to the top flight. The team retained its key players, and their early Championship performances demonstrate their determination to secure promotion. Currently, the Clarets are in fourth place, six points behind leaders Sunderland. With only two losses and six wins in their first 13 matches, Burnley shows promise, though they recently fell 0-1 to Millwall away. In their last five matches, they’ve managed only one win, three draws, and one loss.
