West Bromwich Albion vs Fulham Predictions

• West Bromwich Albion conceded at least twice in four of their last five matches.
• No Championship side has ever scored as many as Fulham’s 90 goals at this stage of a season.
• Fulham average 2.65 scored goals per away league game, that is more than at home.
• Six of Fulham’s 11 away league games saw a 3+ goal margin.

Baggies below par under Bruce

Across his 24 years as a football manager, this is Steve Bruce’s worst ever start to a tenure (W1, D2, L4), five of those games saw the Baggies concede at least twice, even if they came back from a 2-0 deficit to draw last time out.

Barring an incredible run of form, WBA’s play-off ambitions are dead in the water and as such, the focus turns to building up a head of steam for next season’s attempt.

Compounding matters for the hosts is the fact they are winless across the last 12 league H2H meetings (D7, L5), suggesting that Fulham could yet again put them to the sword.

Fulham’s record breaking season continues

Simply put, Fulham have been rampant this season, hitting more goals than any side in Championship history after 36 games played, their closest pursuers in that regard are the record holding Reading side of 2005/06, who had 77 at this stage.

Ivan Toney must have been over the moon when he broken the record for most Championship goals by one player last season, though Aleksandar Mitrovic has one upped him already with a record 35 strikes, including four across his last five appearances.

We predict that Fulham will score at least twice here, and with a price close to evens that must be seen as great value for a side averaging 2.65 scored goals per away league game. An entertaining 3-1 Fulham victory would not surprise many here and is our pick in the correct score market.
