The Championship sides are back in action mid-week. One of the most interesting duels of the 37th round will see relegation-threatened West Brom host playoff contender Southampton. These two teams come to the game with totally opposite momentum, as the hosts hope to break an 11-game winless streak, while Southampton just secured the FA Cup Quarter Finals and are currently on a 10-game unbeaten run!
Let's break down the game and find the best possible bet for this Championship tie.

Premier League
In the first H2H game of the season, Southampton won 3:2. It was an interesting game in which the Saints led 3:0 after only 35 minutes, but almost blew it. Looking further back, over the past ten H2H games, Southampton have been much more successful, winning eight times, while WBA won only once.
When it comes to the number of goals, six of the past ten H2H games ended with three or more goals, while both teams scored in five of them.
West Brom team overview
West Brom are playing their worst season in a very long time. Before the start of the season, the Baggies were projected to be among the teams battling to secure the playoffs. However, that is not even remotely close, given they are in 21st spot, just one point above the danger zone. In fact, the Baggies would be in the danger zone at the moment if it weren't for the points deduction for 22nd-placed Leicester.
The club tried to turn the negative momentum around with a coaching change in late February, but it didn't work, at least for now. Under James Morrison as a caretaker manager, WBA won one point in two rounds.
After a 1:1 draw with Sheffield United in the previous game, coach James Morrison spoke to the media. He said he is proud of the players for their reaction and resilience after conceding first at Bramall Lane. "This gives us something to build on… we still have 10 more massive games to go," the coach added.

Southampton team overview
Southampton went between the Premier League and the Championship in each of their last three seasons. This year, the Saints look for another promotion. However, they had a couple of bad stretches and are now in 8th place, four points out of the Playoffs. Still, they have every reason to be optimistic as they are on a great 10-game unbeaten run. During that run, the Saints even advanced to the FA Cup Quarter Finals after eliminating Premier League side Fulham.
After a 1:0 win over Fulham, coach Tonda Eckert spoke to the media. He said he expected a very tough match at Craven Cottage and knew they would have to defend for long periods. He was mostly proud of their defensive work and belief, but also pointed out that they have to keep winning games.

Prediction
West Brom are in terrible form, having failed to win in the past 14 games across competitions. To be precise, they had one win, over Swansea in the FA Cup, but after penalties, not in regular time. Looking at their stats and having watched some of the games, we can safely say they aren't playing as poorly as the results suggest, but they are simply unable to win games.
On the other hand, Southampton are doing great. They are unbeaten in their past ten games, having won seven of them (plus one after extra time). Also, on the road, the Saints are doing really well, winning four in a row with 10 scored goals - 2.5 per game.
Moreover, Southampton have won eight of the past 10 H2H games, including this season's match (3:2). Given the trend in previous H2H games and the massive difference in form, we believe the visitors are much closer to winning the upcoming Championship tie.
4 Reasons why Southampton should (AH 0) win
- West Brom failed to win in the past 14 games (in regular time)
- Southampton are undefeated in the past 10 matches
- Southampton won the last four road games
- Southampton have won eight of the past ten H2H games
