Data provided by

West Brom vs Burnley is a Sunday lunchtime kick-off at The Hawthorns, with the relegated visitors marginal favourites in a fixture that rarely produces a winner.

Burnley drop into the Championship as one of the stronger sides, but this fixture has a remarkable habit of ending level. Andy Francis has the best bets, our score prediction and the head-to-head record below. The game kicks off at 12pm BST on Sunday, August 23rd.

Premium Tips

Andy is drawn to the remarkable recent record of this fixture, with the stalemate a genuine value play at The Hawthorns.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
The draw and Zian Flemming to score anytime10/1This fixture has an uncanny habit of finishing level, with four of the last five meetings between these sides ending in draws, including back-to-back stalemates in the two most recent get-togethers. Burnley arrive as the stronger side on paper following relegation from the Premier League, but that quality has rarely translated into victories here, and West Brom’s improved home form should keep this tight. Flemming leads Burnley’s attacking options and is their main goal threat, so with the visitors expected to have their moments in an even, competitive contest, backing him to find the net inside a stalemate looks a smart way to combine the two most likely outcomes.
Hannibal Mejbri and Callum Styles to be booked10/1Mejbri is a combative, high-energy presence in Burnley’s midfield and his willingness to fly into challenges has regularly brought bookings, a trait likely to surface again in a keenly contested Championship occasion. Styles plays a similarly tenacious, no-nonsense role for West Brom, breaking up play and putting in strong tackles as the visitors look to smother Burnley’s attacking threat. With both men expected to be heavily involved in the midfield battle at the heart of a tightly fought, physical contest, and little between the sides historically, backing both combative operators to pick up cards looks a sound discipline-market angle on this fixture.

How West Bromwich Albion go into the game

West Brom finished 21st last season on 51 points, a difficult campaign that ended too close to the drop for comfort. A stronger start is essential this term.

The Hawthorns can be a lively venue and Albion will need that backing against strong opponents. A positive result against a fancied Burnley side would settle early nerves.

How Burnley go into the game

Burnley drop into the Championship after relegation from the Premier League, and they carry a squad well suited to challenging at this level. Bouncing straight back is the aim.

Zian Flemming leads the attacking options and gives them a genuine goal threat. Burnley travel as marginal favourites, though this fixture has a habit of frustrating both sides.
