Sunderland Double Chance
Sunderland have kept their playoff hopes alive with a run of just one defeat in eight games and the Black Cats should be difficult to beat again when they visit West Brom on Sunday. The Baggies’ home record this season is strong, though they have dropped points in each of their last two assignments at The Hawthorns against Millwall and QPR. The visitors are a tough nut to crack and the first of our football betting tips this weekend recommends backing them to dig at least a point out of Sunday’s game in the double chance market.
Amad Diallo to Score Anytime
20-year-old Ivorian loanee Amad Diallo has become something of a talismanic figure for Sunderland during his temporary stay, and the attacker has chipped in with four goal contributions (3G, 1A) in his last four appearances in the Championship. The Man Utd starlet has notched 12 times overall in the second tier and one of those efforts was notched against WBA in December. Diallo could do some more damage in the return fixture.

West Brom
Dara O'Shea, Grady Diangana, Adam Reach, Okay Yokuslu, Kyle Bartley, Daryl Dik and Mat Phillips are out of action for WBA this weekend. The Baggies earned a valuable three points in midweek when they won 2-0 at Blackpool. They are now just one place and point outside the playoffs.

Sunderland
Edouard Michut, Niall Huggins, Jewison Bennette, Daniel Ballard, Aji Alese, Corry Evans, Ross Stewart and Elliot Embleton are all listed as injured for Sunderland at present. The Black Cats were held to a 1-1 draw by Huddersfield on Tuesday despite taking a first-half lead in the game.

Player to Watch – Brandon Thomas-Asante
Brandon Thomas-Asante was the star of the show for West Brom in midweek when they coasted to a 2-0 win at Blackpool. The 24-year-old attacker scored the games’ opener after just 18 minutes and was a menacing presence throughout. Thomas-Asante will hope to produce the goods again on Sunday.
