LiontipsWest Bromwich vs Leeds. Championship match prediction and betting tips
Command Analysis
Current form
West Bromwich will spend the fourth season in a row in the Championship, although last season the club was close to reaching the Premier League. The team took fifth place in the standings and participated in the playoffs for a third ticket to the Premier League. There the hosts lost to Southampton (0:0 and 1:3).
This season, the "Blackbirds" will once again fight for promotion. The championship started quite successfully for the club - with an away victory over QPR (3:1). All three goals for Albion were scored by Nigerian striker Josh Maja.
The hosts have already managed to fly out of one tournament - in the first round of the League Cup, West Brom lost to modest Fleetwood with a score of 1:2.
Disqualifications and injuries
Grady Diangana, Daryl Dike and Jed Wallace will miss the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- The hosts have scored at least three goals in their last three matches.
- West Bromwich have won only one of their last five matches.
Prospective line-up : Palmer - Furlong, Bartley, Ajayi, Lysaker - Molumby, Mowatt - Fellows, Swift, Grant - Mudge
Current form
Leeds spent the entire last season hoping to return to the Premier League from the Championship and were quite close to their goal. The team was only six points behind the second place, which gives a direct ticket to the top division. As a result, they had to play in the playoffs, for which they did not have enough strength. In the first round, they managed to get past Norwich quite easily (0:0 and 4:0), but in the final at Wembley, United lost to Southampton in a hard-fought battle (0:1).
Now the Leeds club will have to stay in the Championship for at least another season. In the first match, the visitors unexpectedly had problems in the match against the league newcomer, Portsmouth. Daniel Farke's team almost suffered a defeat, but still managed to equalize the score in the fifth minute of stoppage time. As a result, the match ended with a score of 3:3.
Like their opponents, Leeds have already been knocked out of the League Cup. In the first round of this competition, the Whites lost to Middlesbrough (0:3).

1.77Tip and bets
Both teams rely on attack in Championship matches and are unlikely to deviate from their style in a face-to-face meeting. It is unlikely that the opponents will sit back in defense at the beginning of the season, especially having many strong attacking players at their disposal. We believe that the opponents will perform effectively in this match.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals for 1.90
Bet on total
The visitors are the clear favourites in this match, but we have doubts about Leeds' success. The team did not start the season in the best way, and even managed to escape Portsmouth by a hair's breadth. We believe that West Bromwich will also have a chance to upset United
Our prediction is a handicap (0) on West Bromwich with odds of 2.45
Bet on corners
The opponents will probably spend a lot of time attacking, so we should expect a lot of corners.
Our prediction is total over 10.5 corners with odds of 1.73
