Command Analysis

West Bromwich Albion

The golden years of West Bromich were in the middle of the last century when the team won all of their most valuable trophies, among them the League Cup in 1966. But the Baggies aren't the same anymore: at the end of last season, they got relegated from the Premier League, finishing in 19th place in the table.

But Valerien Ismael's men had a decent start to the new season in the Championship. The Baggies haven't lost a game yet. After four rounds they have 10 points in the asset. In the last fixture, West Bromwich beat Blackburn away (2:1).

Arsenal

Arsenal have won the League Cup twice in their history, plus the Gunners have made it to the final of this tournament six times. Lately, the team from North London has struggled to get out of a crisis, but something simply doesn't work in their game. Mikel Arteta's men finished only 8th in the Premier League table last season.

The start of the new edition of the Premier League was also extremely poor. In the first round, Arsenal suffered a humbling defeat at the hands of Brentford (0:2), and last weekend they looked helpless against Chelsea (0:2).

Tip and bets

TipArsenal to win

1.97

West Brom are showing good results this season, but they haven't been playing against any top teams. But the Baggies have other priorities: they desire to get back into the Premier League, so they are more focused on the results in the Championship.

Arsenal are down because of their bad start and already talk about changing the head coach. However, they have a chance to get a morale-booster in the League Cup. Despite all their problems, Arsenal have many top performers in their squad.

Our prediction - Arsenal to win.

Will the prediction win?

TipTotal over 2.5 goals

1.82

West Brom play bright and open football, scoring many goals, but also regularly conceding. In their last nine games, the teams overcame the total of 2.5 goals. Arsenal are very unreliable on the defensive at the moment, and they must compensate for that in the attack. We suggest betting on the total over.

Second wager - total over 2.5 goals.
