Birmingham CityDWLDDGoals usually arrive when these two meet at the Hawthorns and the price on over 2.5 goals at 1.77 looks solid enough to back here.
Both teams to score is a strong angle given the mixed defensive form shown by both clubs in their recent run of five games.
This is an opinion, not advice. A model wrote it from the form and the prices on this page. It has no team news and it is not a promise of any result. The call settles itself when the game ends, win or lose. Never stake money you cannot afford to lose. How our calls work

The market makes West Bromwich Albion the side to beat here at 41%, but only just, so this reads as a close call rather than a mismatch.

West Bromwich Albion come in poor, winning 25% of 40 on record. 7 of their 20 home games went their way, and the numbers point to a fairly even scoring record. Right now they are on 1 loss in a row.

The prices turn into 41% for WBA, 27% for the draw and 32% for BIR once the bookmaker margin is stripped out. There is little between the two in the market, so the edge, if there is one, sits in the detail rather than the headline price. Our call sits at 1.77, and we only stake it because the reasons for it outweigh the reasons against.
These two have been level across 2 past meetings, 0 wins each and 2 drawn. Nothing in the history separates them.

Old meetings are worth less than they look. Squads change, managers change, and a result from two seasons ago tells you almost nothing about this one.
History at the Hawthorns usually brings goals so backing over 2.5 at 1.77 makes sense. West Brom have mixed results lately though and sometimes fail to put teams away. Our site model calls this a draw...
