Sure Prediction For Today, Monday 20th January 2020

West Brom has the chance to boost their lead at the top of the Championship to four points following Leeds’ defeat on Saturday. The Baggies saw their nearest rivals beaten at QPR on Saturday, which has opened up a chance for Slaven Bilic and his men to move clear at the top.

The Baggies have a home clash with Stoke to get through on Monday night, with the Potters struggling at the wrong end of the pitch. These two have gone in very different directions since being linked with a top-six finish in the summer, but can West Brom show the gulf between them here?

The hosts are top of the table with a game in hand, while they have a five-point lead over third going into this game. They’ve lost just twice in their 27 games so far, while they’re expected to pick up another result when they clash with Stoke here.

The Baggies are seen to have the upper hand, especially given their good record against Stoke. West Brom has won their last three league games against the Potters, all in the Championship since the start of last season.

Stoke have won none of their last five away league matches against West Brom (D1 L4) since winning five in a row at the Hawthorns between 2009 and 2014. Meanwhile, they’ve lost nine times in 13 away trips this season, while they’ve lost five of their last six games on the road. Only four sides in the Championship have fewer points away from home than Stoke.

West Brom has been a great side to watch this term, as they’re the highest-scoring outfit in the division so far. The Baggies have scored 60% of their total goals this term at the Hawthorns and we expect another goal-filled clash when they meet on Monday. The hosts have averaged 2.3 goals per game at their own ground this term, while Stoke has been too open at the back.

The visitors have shipped 1.7 goals per game this term, conceding from 16% of the shots they’ve faced. The hosts create over 14 openings per game at the Hawthorns and they’ve scored twice or more on seven occasions against the bottom seven this term. Stoke have conceded two or more in eight away trips, while they lost 2-0 at home to West Brom earlier this season. Bearing all this in mind, over 1.5 West Brom goals is our pick here.

The Baggies have seen both teams score in 92% of their home games this season, while Stoke has enjoyed some improved form going forward under Michael O’Neill. The hosts have yet to keep a home clean sheet this season, so we are also backing Stoke to find the net here. However, as the Potters have lost six of their eight clashes at top-half sides, our prediction is a home win or a draw for West Brom.
