Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson backs the hosts on home soil.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Jimmy-Jay Morgan to score anytime | 2/1 (Sky Bet) | Jimmy-Jay Morgan leads the West Brom line as the hosts look to make home advantage count in the derby. The Baggies are unbeaten at The Hawthorns, where they have won two of four, while Birmingham have failed to win any of their four home games this season. With West Brom fancied to take the game to their rivals, Morgan is their most likely scorer. At 2/1 to score anytime, the forward is a tempting pick in a charged local clash. |
| West Brom 2-1 Birmingham | 17/2 (bet365) | West Brom are unbeaten at home and sit sixth, but Birmingham arrive having drawn all four of their own home games and shown they can frustrate. The last two meetings between the pair finished level, so the visitors will not be rolled over. A tight home win in which Birmingham also score fits the derby’s pattern. At 17/2, a 2-1 West Brom victory is the value call in a game that should be close, with the hosts beaten just once in their last five. |
