LiontipsBournemouth v West Bromwich. Prediction and Betting Tips for EFL Championship (August 6, 2021).
Command Analysis
Bournemouth had quite a good season in the Championship. They won 22 and drew 11 games over 46 rounds. These results brought the Cherries 77 points and sixth place in the standings. At the very end of the tournament, Bournemouth suffered three defeats in a row, which did not prevent them from reaching the playoffs.
In the playoff semifinals, the Cherries lost to Brentford (2: 3 on aggregate) and in the end, the latter got promoted to the Premier League. In the first official game of the new season, the Red-blacks beat Milton Keynes and reached the Round of 64 of the English League Cup.
West Brom had a poor season in the English Premier League. They won only five games and got 11 draws, which gave them in total 26 points and 19th position in the standings. At the end of the tournament, the Baggies suffered four defeats in a row. Their performance in the defense was the worst in the league.
The Baggies are entering the new season with a new manager Valerien Ismael, who will try to bring the team back to the Premier League. The team was strengthened by Matt Clarke who came on a loan from Brighton, and Alex Mowatt from Barnsley: the center midfielder joined the Throstles as a free agent.
