7.70Tip and bets
Bournemouth play at home, play in the Premier League, and quite successfully, and, accordingly, receive the status of a clear favorite from bookmakers. However, we do not think that the hosts will easily secure a ticket to the 1/16 finals of the Cup today. The Cherries have serious problems with the lineup, which affected the attack; they won only one of the seven previous matches with a difference of more than one goal. West Bromwich in their game relies on defense, which is distinguished by its organization and reliability; it is unlikely that the guests will deviate from their usual pragmatic football today.
Our prediction is a West Bromwich win with an Asian handicap (+1) at odds of 1.90
Bet on total
Bournemouth often have difficulties in matches where they have to break down a dense and well-organized defense of the opponents, which was confirmed by the last match against Everton (1:0). We do not expect more than two goals scored in the cup game today.
The second bet is total under three goals with odds of 1.68
Bet on the first half
Three of Bournemouth last five matches have seen the score end at 0-0 in the first half, with all the action taking place after the break. We expect the same scenario to be played out this time.
Prediction: draw in the first half with odds of 2.40
