West Brom vs Southampton Prediction, Betting Tips & 4/1 Bet Builder

West Brom vs Southampton preview and betting tips for Sunday’s Championship play-off showdown from the Hawthorns. Eventually falling short in their bid to book an immediate Premier League via the automatic places, Southampton will know the importance of dusting themselves down quickly and taking a giant leap towards a spot at Wembley. Although West Brom might have sprung somewhat of an upset over the past month as they eventually dragged themselves to a play-off ticket, the Baggies have largely struggled to find any kind of stability.

West Brom vs Southampton Prediction

Signing off their regular-season adventure with a routine 3-0 romp at home against Preston last weekend, West Brom will know the importance of using that performance as a platform to build on. However, despite drawing a line under their three-match losing rut, Carlos Corberan’s men have struggled to find any real stability of late. Signing off April with an infamous 3-0 drumming at the hands of Sheffield Wednesday, the former Huddersfield boss has seen his squad win just a pair of their previous eight Championship appearances. Failing to collect consecutive victories since returning from March’s international break, West Brom will know the importance of claiming a first-leg advantage here. Although Southampton might have eventually missed out on the chance to book an automatic Premier League return this season, Russell Martin’s men have gained plenty of plaudits from across England’s second-tier. Drawing a line under their own respective three-match losing rut last weekend as they signed off their regular-season adventure with a stellar 2-1 victory away at fellow play-off outfit Leeds, the Saints will be calling on a repeat performance here. Likewise, landing a 2-0 win when they last travelled to the Hawthorns back on February 16th, it should be highlighted that Southampton have won seven of their previous eight showdowns against the Baggies across all competitions.
