Liverpool’s reached a dangerous point in its season just three matches into its new Premier League campaign. A 3-0 loss to Manchester City on Saturday made the club’s slow but steady revival look like a false dawn, and the Reds will have to thrash WBA comprehensively on Sunday to avoid a relapse into the indifferent form shown in the 2009-10 season.
Liverpool and West Bromwich Albion have met eight times in the last decade. The results of these meetings don’t make happy reading for WBA supporters, with every match going to Liverpool. WBA has scored only one goal in all of these encounters, and Liverpool has taken four wins by three or more goals during this period.
The last meeting between Liverpool and WBA produced a 2-0 away win for Liverpool.
Liverpool has claimed three wins, a draw and a loss from its last five matches. It’s Premiership record shows a draw and a loss, but concern over the club’s failure to win the Premiership should take into account that Liverpool has endured a tough draw early in the season.
Liverpool has scored six goals in its past five matches, under par for a side featuring some world class strikers. Defence has been up to the task, letting in just four goals during this period, and three of these against Manchester City.
West Bromwich Albion, meanwhile, has been having a rollercoaster ride back in the top flight, with two losses, two wins and a draw to show for its efforts this season. The club has recorded a single loss to Chelsea and a win over Sunderland in the Premier League to date.
WBA has scored five goals in its last five matches. Defence has largely succeeded in containing opposition strikers, with two goals conceded in four of the last five matches, and the loss to Chelsea skewing the defence stats by adding another six goals to this tally.
Liverpool is a short odds favourite for this match, trading at 1/4 at Canbet. You can back the draw at 5/1 at Ladbrokes while Paddy Power is offering 15/1 on the WBA win.
WBA’s record against Liverpool is dismal, and there’s little to suggest that the Reds will give the visitors any margins to work with in this game. The Liverpool victory looks a strong bet, but there’s little value on offer in the match betting markets.
Our Liverpool vs West Bromwich Albion betting tip is to head to Bet365′s over/under goals market, which is offering odds of 21/20 on under 2.75 goals in this match – not bad value on a fixture featuring two struggling attacks.
