West Bromwich v Southampton predictions & betting tips

West Bromwich had a fine season in 2012/2013. They took most pundits by surprise I may add. WBA ended 8^th, and in the process they beat Southampton both home and away, (2-0 at home and 3-0 away). Steve Clarke has brought in a couple of veterans in Anelka (Striker) and Lugano (Central Defender).  The youngster Vydra had a wonderful season for Watford in the Championship. Now he replaces Lukaku who has gone back to Chelsea after his loan spell at WBA. No other important player has left.

Southampton ended 14^th, but displayed some really fine offensive football. They’ve brought in central defender Lovren from Lyon, and central midfielder Wanyama from Celtic. Both should help them improve the defensive aspects of their footballing strategy. No major player has left the club. Southampton is an ambitious club with good economic resources, but they are prepared to build stone by stone it seems. It looks very much like they’ll make some progress this year.

Southampton has doubts over their two young fullbacks, Luke Shaw and Nathaniel Clyne. 

WBA – Southampton betting tips

If we take a closer look at the game played at the Hawthorns last season Southampton were really never outclassed at all. It wouldn’t have been unfair at all if they had gotten a point. This season I think most teams will be aware of how Steve Clarke sets up his side.  Also, the loss of Lukaku is going to be felt. The now twenty year old power house of a boy scored 17 goals for them last season.

For me Southampton was a wonderful team to watch last season and with Rickie Lambert up front supported by the likes of Ramirez, Lallana, Wanyama and Puncheon from midfield they should be a handful for WBA.

I think this will be tight overall, but I predict Southampton will be the better side. They simply have more to offer. My betting tip is Southampton Draw No Bet. The odds are 2.20 (6/5) and they’re available at Bet365, if you agree with my reasoning; click here to take the bet now.
