All odds are provided by our best football betting sites. Odds are subject to change. West Brom vs Bristol City predictions West Brom sit on 32 points from 21 matches. At the start of this round of fixtures, they were in 8th position, 13 points behind leaders Sheffield United. Bristol City started the current matchweek in 11th position, with 27 points from 21 matches. Starting with a look at West Brom, Carlos Coberan’s team saw their 12-match unbeaten run come to an end at Vicarage Road last Sunday. The Baggies lost 2-1 to Watford, with Tom Cleverley’s team moving above West Brom in the table as a result of the victory. Despite going 12 matches without defeat, the Baggies have dropped down the Championship table in recent weeks. At the end of September, they were in the automatic promotion places. But included in their 12-match unbeaten run were a staggering ten draws. So as well as only losing one of their last 13, they have also only won twice during that time. This makes the busy Christmas period crucial for West Brom. If they can’t start winning games quickly, their unbeaten run will soon start to turn into a negative. Fans are already frustrated with the amount of points they feel have been dropped during the ten draws. But when the team wasn’t losing, Coberan could point to the unbeaten run as a positive. West Brom can take some heart from their defeat to Watford last Sunday. The Baggies had 64 percent of the possession, and they also had more shots at goal than the Hornets (16-14). The area they need to sharpen up in is shots on target. Watford had seven, West Brom five. And this is what sums up the problem with West Brom. Bristol City have been very inconsistent in recent weeks. Close 1-0 defeats at home to Burnley and away to Watford were followed by a 4-0 home victory over struggling Plymouth Argyle. The Robins followed their biggest win of the season up with a 3-0 defeat away at relegation-threatened Portsmouth just seven days later. That result saw Pompey climb off the bottom of the table, and was a real setback for Robins’ manager Liam Manning and his team. Manning looked for a response, and he got one. His team went to the Stadium of Light three days later and held Sunderland to a 1-1 draw. But even the one point they left the north-east with must have been tinged with disappointment. The Black Cats needed a 93rd-minute equaliser from Patrick Roberts to save them from defeat. Underlining just how inconsistent the Robins have been in recent weeks, they couldn’t back up their hard-earned point from Sunderland in their next outing as they were held to a disappointing 1-1 home draw against QPR. A mistake from keeper Max O’Leary meant the Robins failed to pick up all three points in their final match at Ashton Gate ahead of Christmas.

West Brom vs Bristol City betting tips In their last five Championship fixtures, West Brom has drawn three, won one and lost one. Bristol City has won one, drawn two, and lost two. City are also three without a win. Baggies’ boss Carlos Coberan has been linked with the vacant manager’s job at Southampton in recent days. It’s hard to know if this will have an impact on his players, but the Spaniard did little to dispel the rumours on Thursday when he spoke to the press. Coberan came out with the usual stock answer that he was only focusing on the match. But at no point did he say he wasn’t interested in the move to St. Mary’s. Regardless of Coberan’s future, his team has drawn too many in recent weeks and haven’t been convincing. The Robins did well to earn a point away at Sunderland. And they also should have beaten QPR last weekend. We can see Bristol City leaving the midlands with a point.

Back Draw/Bristol City in double chance at 4/6 with CopyBet
Both teams to score
We already know that West Brom draws a lot of matches. And not many are 0-0.
West Brom has scored in six of their last seven. They have also conceded in five of those matches. Bristol City has scored in their last two matches, and in three of their last four.
Back both teams to score at 4/5 with SBK
Karlan Grant to have 3+ shots
No one at West Brom is prolific in front of goal, and this is part of the reason they don’t win many matches.
The Baggies’ top scorer in the league is Josh Maja with ten. But he hasn’t found the back of the net in his last five in the Championship.
Maja’s fellow striker Karlan Grant has two in his last four. His confidence is slowly improving, and he is getting plenty of shooting opportunities thanks to Albion’s possession based game.
The problem is that Grant doesn’t hit the target often enough. This is why we are not backing him to have 2+ shots on target at 15/8, as we can’t trust him to test the keeper.
But with two in his last four matches, we are expecting Grant to at least have a go. So we are instead backing him to have three shots or more. That way if his radar is off, we still win the bet.
Back Karlan Grant to have 3+ shots at 10/11 with Sky Bet
