Stoke to take the points
There isn't masses between these sides right now in respect of their recent form, however, we are backing Stoke to emerge victorious when they clash here. West Brom's home form is pretty woeful as they've won just one of their last seven at the Hawthorns. Stoke meanwhile have lost just one of their past six away games winning two of their last three. On top of that, the Potters have a strong head to head record against West Brom; they've won on their last two visits to the Hawthorns and, more generally, they've won each of the last three meetings between the sides.
A low scorer
The next prediction we bring you for West Brom vs Stoke is backing under 2.5 total goals. West Brom have seen four of their last five matches go south of the 2.5 mark producing a game average of just 1.8 goals. Stoke meanwhile have gone under the 2.5 cut off in three of their past five matches with their game average across that period coming in at 2.4 goals. On top of that, four of the last five head to head meetings have also come up short of the 2.5 mark; the average across those meetings sits at just 1.8 goals.

Can Baggies exit the bottom three?
West Brom have been struggling big time this season but they've shown a couple of glimpses lately that suggest they might be turning a corner – and this game is a good opportunity to kickstart a revival. Stoke are five points and seven places ahead of the Baggies but the Potters have played a game more meaning that a West Brom win here could put Stoke within reach. Stoke, however, will be desperately trying to avoid that as it could see them sucked into a relegation battle.
West Brom have won their last two games and that's a dramatic shift from what they've done so far this season. As such, we expect them to name an unchanged XI here. Semi Ajayi and Daryl Dike are both still injured.
West Brom Predicted lineup – Palmer, Furlong, Pieters, O'Shea, Bartley, Yokuslu, Molumby, Diangana, Swift, Wallace, Phillips
Stoke come into this match with Josh Laurent and Gavin Kilkenny sidelined. Lewis Baker is perhaps the Potters key man and one that could prove the difference maker.
Stoke Predicted lineup – Bonham, Wilmot, Souttar, Fox, Clarke, Fosu, Smallbone, Baker, Powell, Delano, Gayle
