Championship: Top-drawer against subpar, at least based on the matches so far. West Bromwich Albion - Hull City. Home victory or a shock result?
- West Bromwich Albion have not yet lost a game at home.
- Hull City have the fewest scored goals (9) in Championship
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
West Bromwich Albion form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at The Hawthorns as West Bromwich Albion have scored 14 goals to get 17 points from 7 games. The overall stats in the Championship are 5-2-0 (wins-draws-losses). Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for WBA, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.
In their previous game, the manager V. Ismaël led his WBA to a defeat in the Championship match away at Fulham. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at The Hawthorns. Midfielder Conor Townsend was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.4 (out of ten) in that game. Townsend hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.
Ahead of that match, WBA won a home game hosting Bristol City (3-0).West Bromwich Albion are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found five matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won three, drew two and lost zero.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Middlesbrough are coming to town in three days.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (14 in 7 games), WBA's attacking play is working. West Bromwich Albion are not conceding a lot of goals here at The Hawthorns in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 7 matches.
Hull City form and stats
There's been little loot from Hull City's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 7 away games in the Championship. Hull City only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw. It's all red in the travel logs of Hull City, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.
Hull aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 225 league minutes without a goal. J. Magennis was the last player to find the net.
Hull failed to get anything from their last game, a Championship home match vs Coventry City (placed 4th) that ended with defeat 0-1. Callum Elder, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.81. Elder hit four key passes and won 4 of 5 duels.
A 0-1 defeat away at Luton Town before that.We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Hull played away with similar odds. This revealed three games. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, zero were draws and the home team won as expected three times.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Championship trip to Barnsley.
The attacking power of Hull when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 7 league matches away. As opposed to that, Hull have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.
