West Brom v Crystal Palace Betting Tips [6 December 2020]

It took them ten games but last weekend finally saw West Bromwich Albion win a league game. They begin the latest set of games in 18th place, three places and seven points behind opponents Crystal Palace. After nine games without a win, West Brom beat bottom of the table Sheffield United 1-0. That was a much needed win after they had lost their last three league games without scoring a goal. Home league form this season had seen them lose two and draw two before finally getting that victory over Sheffield United. Strangely, West Brom are yet to score a goal in the second half of a home league match this season but are yet to concede in the first half. Only seven league goals have been scored by West Brom this season, three of those coming in the 3-3 draw against Chelsea, where they let slip a 3-0 lead. They are a point from safety and will be looking to get a second straight win that may well take them out of the bottom three.

Crystal Palace are 15th in the Premier League but have been a lot higher than that this season. The Eagles began the season with two straight wins but then went three games without a win. That's their problem, just so inconsistent. Recent wins have come against Fulham and Leeds, now they bid to make it three wins out of three against the sides promoted to the Premier League this season. However, three of their last five league games have been lost and defeat at the Hawthorns could see them dragged into a relegation battle. They are also struggling for goals, only getting on the scoresheet once in the last four league fixtures. Away form has produced wins at Manchester United and Fulham but the other three have all been lost without them scoring. A bet on under 2.5 goals is the tip for this match.

Just seven league goals for West Brom this season and five of those came in two matches against Everton and Chelsea. They finally got a league win at the weekend and are only a point from safety. They take on a Crystal Palace side going through one of their bad spells. Recent games have seen three losses in five matches and they have only scored in one of their last four away league fixtures. A bet on under 2.5 goals in this game should be a winning one.
