WEST BROM have enjoyed a terrific start under Steve Clarke and should pick up three points when Southampton visit the Hawthorns on Monday night.
The Baggies have won four out of five at home, netting 10 goals, and tackle a Southampton side who have lost all four on the road and conceded an average of 16 goals.
There aren't many bankers in the EPL these days but it's difficult to see past the home win at 3-4 with Ladbrokes and Coral.
Manchester City are the only team to beat WBA at the Hawthorns while Liverpool, Everton, Reading and QPR have all been beaten.
On the face of it Saints don't have much chance but Nigel Adkins' side have netted in every league game apart from a 2-0 defeat to Wigan in August so both teams to score looks a decent shout at 4-6 with Betfred.
West Brom have scored three goals in two home matches and are 2-1 at Skybet to net three or more while over 3.5 goals in the game pays 7-4 at William Hill.
With Shane Long a doubt the best bet for an anytime scorer could be Scotland midfielder James Morrison at 5-1 with Coral while for Saints it would be Rickie Lambert at 11-4 with Skybet.
Recommendations
WBA
(3-4, Ladbrokes, Coral)
Morrison to score
(5-1, Coral)
Over 3.5 goals
(7-4, William Hill)
I’m liking the bet for a certain team to score a certain amount of goals, i’d probably play it safe and go for WBA to net 2 or more, 3 seems too many
Am waiting on west brom btts for 1250 do I recommend laying it to cover my bet ?
Mark, the best way to lay it off is taking no to both teams to score. Alternatively, bet in-running and after one teams scores put something on no more goals. Both ways cover you against both teams scoring.
How many teams did u pick for btts to get that much back mark?
11 games btts 250/1 betfred
An early look at the prices for Lionel Messi are very good and no doubt will shorten!
Anytime best 8/15 Totesport. Worst 1/4 Sporting Bet
2 or more best 9/4 Totesport/Bet Victor. Worst 11/10 Sky Bet
3 or more best 12/1 Totesport. Worst 21/5 Sporting Bet
sorry Tommo, no matter how superb a player is 8/15 a player to score anytime is not good value and thats the best price!!!!!
yes he may well score but if you took that price every game i think you would be out of pocket over a season
only an opinion guys!!!!!!!!!
Tommo, a word of warning over Messi. He didn’t score at the weekend, then hobbled off with a sore knee and has been spending sleepless nights at hospital beside his wife and new baby. His boss says he’ll play if he wants to do but must be a little doubt about his mindset at the moment.
petrolul
bursaspor
Aalborg
kaisersluten
single – Maastricht
both to score
antalyaspor-trabzonspor
sczcecin-slaskwroclaw
verona-sassuolo
Antalyaspor are banging in the goals in the turkish league, seen on paddy power they are 5/1 to score 3 or more tonight, the other team are the same but not as prolific, think i’ll get my small bet in early this time
John, I’m just backing West Brom tonight and have started looking at the Tuesday card but I’ve seen Antalyaspor being tipped up to win in several places at pretty decent odds.
John, I’ve put a tenner on that with Bet365 too, same odds. Been impressed with how they handled Fenerbahce despite being visitors.
I missed out on the Fenerbahce game as the bookies was closed due to no late horse racing, they were 11/1 in that game to get 3 and scored 7 in a midweek cup game so who knows :-)
gone for a 25/1 5fold just to give me my fix for the day! Maastricht, Aalborg, Kaiserslautern, Antalyaspor and West Brom.
Luke, I’m glad I stuck to my guns. It’s WBA or bust for me.
West brom price is drifting a lot, anyone know why?
Thinking ht/ft @15/8 bet365
I read Long might be unfit
Striker, Long’s been a doubt all day so don’t know if that would effect it. More likely that some people are backing and laying and therefore bringing Southampton’s big price in a bit.
Im waiting on WBA for a double i put on with man utd. Just seen pre match interviews and atkins seems to be going for it. Took 4 or more goals so happy to see you went for it too paul!! Good luck everyone :)
Morrison injured. Had a wee touch on shane long first goal.
Knottsy, shame about Morrison. Might look at Brunt for anytime scorer.
I ended up going for west brom h/t f/t at 19/10 betvictor best price, come on the baggies
Shane long 1st goal 5/1
Long anytime WBA 3-1 18/1
Good luck all
Antalyaspor ended up getting 2, only a few quid lost so no harm done…lol
John, I noticed they won so tips on that game were spot on.
Had to come from behind but that would have been a nice little bet if anyone took it during play…i’d say the odds would have been good
Tried to post on here at 8 as game kicked off, saying i fancied West Brom win, Odemwingie first scorer, over 2.5 goals, BTTS, and McCauley for decent odds anytime scorer! Looks like only 2 of the 5 are going to be right!
So unlucky mark. Must be up for unlucky line of the wk! Sorry mate there is always 1 to let you down! Keep tryin mark.
Alex, hopefully he did what was advised re laying off the bet at the start or after West Brom’s opener.
Antalyaspor were 40/1 at W.Hill at 85 minutes.
Hope he dhjd mr F!
I had a couple of quid on a scorecast of Odemwingie anytime and 2-1. So close, yet so far…
Lallana should’ve got a penalty, blind referee
paul, any teams for tonight,tues, btts. jimmy
Jimmy, all the tips going up soon including Middlesbrough to win.
paul,i think m!boro are a good bet tonight tues,around 5/2. there playing very well at the mo. what do you think. jimmy
