Prediction
Predicting a winner in this tie is tough. Both clubs haven’t exactly been in the best of form, particularly the Baggies.
Relegation seems like a real possibility unless they both improve, and quickly, with this clash set up as a potentially a must-win for either.
Goals will be expected at Fratton Park this Saturday, that much is certain, especially given how poor West Brom have been defensively.
Collectively, a total of 81 goals have been conceded by both teams this term, with both teams scoring proving to be the best bet of this matchup.
