- 西布朗在过去五场英冠主场比赛中只丢过一球。
- 南安普顿七号’；最近9场客场联赛的进球数不到3个。
- 圣徒队本赛季已经有四场客场1-1战平对手。
圣徒队需要反弹
南安普顿’；周二，当他们以3-1输给布里斯托尔城时，他们获得英冠前两名的希望遇到了障碍，但当他们在周五对阵升班挑战者西布朗时，他们很早就有机会弥补这一点。
这看起来将是一场紧张的比赛，由于阿尔比恩拥有第二梯队，进球可能不多；第三严密的防守，这帮助他们在过去五场比赛中都在自己的地盘上取得了胜利。
他们在这些比赛中只丢了一球，而圣徒队；在阿什顿门的表现相当不符合圣徒队的特点，因为这是他们最近八场客场比赛中唯一一次拉塞尔·马丁；的球队不止一次丢球。
季后赛竞争者可能很难分出胜负
领头羊莱斯特是唯一一支在阿尔比恩山楂球场获胜的客队；过去的13场主场联赛，所以这对圣徒队来说是一次艰难的旅程，但他们的东道主在其中五场比赛中进球不止一次。
因此，在1-1战平的情况下，如果进球数低于2.5球，这可能是有利可图的，这可能会引起那些渴望正确得分的人的兴趣，就像圣徒队访问哈德斯菲尔德、沃特福德、考文垂和诺维奇时发生的那样。
- West Brom have conceded just once in their last five Championship home matches.
- Seven of Southampton’s last nine away league games have featured fewer than three goals.
- The Saints have had four 1-1 draws on the road this term.
Saints need to bounce back
Southampton’s hopes of gaining a top-two place in the Championship hit a snag on Tuesday when they lost 3-1 at Bristol City, but they have an early opportunity to make up for that when they head to fellow promotion challengers West Brom on Friday.
It looks set to be a tight affair and there may not be many goals as Albion possess the second-tier’s third tightest defence, which has helped them to victory in each of their last five games on their own patch.
They have conceded just one goal in those matches and the saints’ performance at Ashton Gate was rather uncharacteristic of the Saints as it was the only time in their last eight away games that Russell Martin’s side have conceded more than once.
Playoff contenders may be tough to split
Leaders Leicester are the only visiting team to have won at The Hawthorns in Albion;s last 13 home league games, so it is a tough trip for the saints, but their hosts have scored more than once in just five of those outings.
Consequently, it could be profitable to go for under 2.5 goals with a 1-1 draw potentially of interest for those keen to have a correct-score bet, something which happened when the Saints visited Huddersfield, Watford, Coventry and Norwich.
