Ten of West Brom’s last 13 have gone under 2.5 goals
Six of Cardiff’s last eight Championship home games have ended with both sides scoring
Cardiff have drawn 16 matches in the Championship this season and ten of them have finished 1-1
Low-scoring affair likely
A run of five defeats from six games saw West Brom part ways with manager Tony Mowbray as they have drifted out of playoff contention.
The veteran manager’s short-lived spell with the club saw them win just five of his 17 games in charge and the only major surprise was that his services were dispensed with two matches before the end of the season.
The Baggies take on another managerless club as Cardiff host this crucial clash, with Aaron Ramsey in interim charge of the Bluebirds as he looks to save them from the drop.
Time is running out for the home team, who have won the fewest games in the division and are hard to fancy despite home advantage.
Both teams have struggled in front of goal and this could be a cagey affair given the stakes for the home team.
Ten of West Brom’s last 13 games have gone under 2.5 goals and that is the pick in what may be a tough watch in south Wales.
Correct score backers may note that Cardiff have drawn 1-1 ten times already this season and may have to settle for a repeat in a result that could send them down.
