West Brom vs Plymouth predictions: Hosts to get another win
Key stats
- Plymouth have lost two of their last three games in the league and failed to score in both.
- Three of the last four H2H duels between West Brom and Plymouth have gone under 2.5 total goals.
- In West Brom's two home games in the Championship this season, we saw only one goal.
Correct score prediction: West Brom 2-0 Plymouth
While Plymouth have managed to notch their first win in the last round over then league leaders Sunderland, it seems unlikely that they can do that twice in a row, especially since they're now playing away from home. West Brom have been great to start the season and we can see another confident win for the Baggies.

- HOME: 4/11 (1.36) – 73.30%
- DRAW: 4/1 (5.00) – 20.00%

West Brom preview: Hoping to stay at the top
With four wins and one draw in the first five rounds of the new Championship season, West Brom sit at the top of the table as one of only three undefeated teams. The Baggies have however suffered a rough loss to Fleetwood Town in the EFL Cup, but at least that will allow them to focus solely on the Championship and their quest for promotion.
Meanwhile, Daryl Dike is the only player on West Brom's injury list at this time.
Predicted lineup: Palmer (GK), Furlong, Ajayi, Bartley, Heggem, Molumby, Mowatt, Fellows, Swift, Grant & Maja
