West Bromwich vs Wolverhampton. Prediction and Betting Tips for English Premier League (May 3, 2021).

In recent rounds, Sam Allardyce's team is desperately clinging to points, trying to compete for residence in the Premier League. In the last game, West Bromwich drew Aston Villa (2:2) away. Although we should rather say they lost points in that game, because they were winning until 90+2 minutes, and conceded the second goal in injury time. Before this draw, West Brom somehow managed to beat Chelsea (5:2) and Southampton (3:0) but lost to Leicester (0:3).

Despite the seven points earned in the last four rounds, it's too late for Sam Allardyce's charges. Only five games remain till the end of the season, in which they need to earn at least 11 points, while their competitors only lose in the remaining rounds. Now West Bromwich is in the second-last place. The team has 25 points, which is 11 less than the 17th Newcastle.

At home, the Baggies have not been losing a lot recently. In their previous six matches at Hawthorns, they lost only to Everton (0:1).

In 16 home games, the Baggies conceded 33 goals.

Defender Branislav Ivanovic will sit out the game due to injury. Robert Snodgrass might join him.
