Southampton vs West Brom Prediction, Betting Tips & 5/1 Bet Builder

Southampton vs West Brom preview and betting tips for Friday’s Championship play-off second-leg showdown from St. Mary’s.

Although Southampton might have eventually fallen short in their bid to book an automatic Premier League return this season, the Saints will certainly be excited to make a return to the South Coast this weekend.

Missing out on the chance to claim a crucial first-leg advantage at the Hawthorns last week, the Baggies are tipped as a real underdog contender when they arrive at St. Mary’s for a season-defining battle on Friday night.

 

Southampton vs West Brom Prediction

While Southampton might have signed off their regular-season adventure with a stellar 2-1 victory away at fellow play-off contenders Leeds, it is fair to say that Russell Martin’s men have struggled to find much stability of late. However, despite claiming just a single victory from any of their previous five battles against Championship opposition, the former Swansea boss will certainly be excited to make a return to St. Mary’s here. Winning three of their final four showdowns on the South Coast, it should also be noted that Southampton have won all of their last three home fixtures against West Brom by an aggregate score of 5-1.

Although the Baggies might have received plenty of plaudits from across England’s second-tier this season as they secured a play-off return, Carlos Corberan’s men find themselves in an almost identical position to Friday’s hosts. Missing out on the chance to claim a crucial first-leg advantage last weekend as they had to settle for a 0-0 stalemate at the Hawthorns, Friday’s guests have also collected just a sole win from any of their previous five Championship appearances. Along with mustering just a pair of points from any of their final four showdowns outside of the Midlands, West Brom have also mustered just a single away victory over the past three months.
