Southampton vs West Bromwich Albion Prediction and Betting Tips

Seeking a fourth EFL Championship home win on the trot, Southampton take on West Bromwich Albion at St. Mary’s Stadium on Tuesday. The Baggies, in contrast, have lost each of their last six away matches and will be looking to end this poor run.

Southampton turned in a dominant team display on Sunday when they secured a comfortable 3-1 victory over Birmingham City on home turf.

This followed a 3-2 defeat against Millwall at the Den on November 29, a result which saw their run of four consecutive victories in the league come to an end.

Southampton have picked up 27 points from their 19 Championship matches so far to sit 11th in the league table, level on points with Wrexham, Watford and Leicester City.

The Baggies have failed to win seven of their most recent nine league games, losing five and picking up two draws since mid-October. West Brom sit 16th in the Championship table with 15 points from 19 matches, but they could move level with eighth-placed Birmingham City with a win on Tuesday.
