On February 14, the match of the 24th round of the English Premier League between West Bromwich and Manchester United will take place. We believee that the hosts have little chance of a positive outcome.
West Bromwich Albion:
West Brom concedes, loses, concedes again, and loses again. With Allardyce, the “baggies” conceded thirty goals in eleven meetings. The “baggies” have played out to the point that they are already been propped up by “Sheffield United”. “Big Sam” is clearly not for this at the Hawthorns. But the team is too weak. The defense is just terrible, and the attack is not enough to compensate for all the failures in defense. The last clean-up match was on 28 November against Sheffield, but they were wildly lucky there.
Manchester United:
“Man United” beat Southampton 9:0, then played a match against Everton (3:3). The defense of the Red Devils also does not shine, we could have noticed this even in the game with Sheffield (1:2). In the last meeting, the “red devils” somehow beat West Ham in extra time. The potential lead of City is already eight points, which makes the fight for the Premier League title very difficult. “Citizens” are now in such a good form that it seems as if they will not lose any more points.
Outcome betting:
For a Man United win bookmakers give a well-deserved 1.34. But we will not advise this outcome as an ordinary bet. The odds are low and anything can happen in the Premier League. I don’t really believe in a West Brom victory or a draw, so it’s better to skip the market of pure outcomes here.
Total bets:
Eight games out of ten at West Brom have ended over 2.5 in total. At the same time, in seven matches, the opponent did not score more than two goals. However, the baggies have conceded twenty-four goals in their last six matches at home.
Man United have failed to score more than two times in seven games. The “devils” conceded only once in the interval of ten matches. On the road, Manchester United won fourteen out of eighteen meetings, lost – zero.
So, we will take Manchester United’s individual total over 2.5 with the odds of 2.20 and a clean sheet for De Gea with the odds of 1.95 on William Hill.
