Southampton vs West Brom Prediction & Betting Tips (17 May)

The Southampton Saints experienced relegation from the Premier League last season and they will try to return to the sender through these playoffs and suffice to say that they are in a slightly good position this evening after their draw at the going to West Brom 0-0. It is now up to them to do the job, especially as they remained on a crucial victory against Leeds on the very last day of the regular season 1-2. Before that, let's not forget to remember that the residents of the St. Mary Stadium were stagnating in a series of three successive defeats in the Championship, including two away against Cardiff 2-1, a defeat against the champion Leicester 5-0 and at home for the arrival of Stoke City despite being poorly classified 0-1.

Formerly a resident of the Premier League, West Brom is playing for its future on the national scene this evening and it is clear that, unlike its evening opponent, it did not do the job on the way home in n scoring no goals and taking no psychological advantage before this 0-0 return. Note however that Albion had lost three of their last four league matches against Sunderland 0-1 and two away against the champion Leicester 2-1 and in a big deal against the promoted Sheffield Wed 3-0. On the other hand, the evening visitors turned their heads around against Preston on the final day of the regular season, winning with a nice score 3-0.

Southampton will most likely be deprived of the important Stuart Armstrong (5 goals, 7 assists), the Irish international starting goalkeeper Bazunu and Larios (very long-term injured) all injured and forfeited during the first round at West Brom. Let us note as a bonus the strong uncertainty around the crucial Ché Adams (16 goals, 4 cakes) absent in the first leg. On the other hand, the second top scorer in the championship in the regular season, Adam Armstrong (21 goals, 13 assists) will be on the scoresheet like Edozie (6 pawns, 3 assists) who, however, remained on the bench at the first leg and Fraser (6 pawns, 2 pancakes in the championship).

Opposite, West Brom are no longer crossing their fingers for Dike (absent from the match sheets since the beginning of February) and Molumby (1 assist in 24 appearances this season), both seriously injured. These are ultimately the only two alerts to be notified at WBA which will be able to count on striker Thomas-Asate (11 pawns in the Championship), John Swift (9 goals), and starting midfielder Diangana (7 goals, 8 assists) .
