Bournemouth vs West Brom: Preview and Prediction

England Premier League
Saturday 17th March 2018
Kick off at 3pm GMT
Venue: Vitality Stadium

Match Preview:

After being outclassed last weekend when they lost here 4-1 against Tottenham, Bournemouth will be expected to get back to winning ways when they take on bottom placed West Bromwich Albion on Saturday afternoon.

Bournemouth are 13 points ahead of their visitors and yet they remain in danger of going down as they are just six points clear of the bottom three, so a win here would be a massive result for the the Cherries. They haven’t won a game for five weeks though, however the good news is that their Tottenham defeat was their first loss at this stadium since December.

For West Brom the news gets worse after they lost yet again last weekend, this time at home to Leicester by a 4-1 scoreline. They are 7 points adrift of 19th placed Stoke and 8 points from safety with 24 left on the board. It looks certain now that they will be relegated. In the club’s last 20 games they have picked up just 10 points which is damning evidence of the plight of the Baggies this season. They have he worse away record in the league with just 1 win this season.
