West Bromwich vs Chesterfield Prediction 17.01.2023

• Competition: FA Cup 1/32 finals
• Date: 16.01.2023
• Kickoff: 20:00 UTC / 21:00 CET
• Venue: The Hawthorns (West Bromwich)

The previous meeting of these two teams in the FA Cup was one of the most interesting matches of this phase of the competition. That duel ended 3-3 and automatically led to a repeat match in which it will be decided which of these two teams will advance to the 1/8 finals of the FA Cup. 

West Brom have played quite well in the last couple of weeks in the Championship, they have won 3 in a row and improved their ranking by several positions. Millwall and the 6th place that brings a place in the playoffs for promotion to the Premier League are not so far away now.

Chesterfield is a member of the National League, the 5th tier of competition in England and they are doing very well at the moment. This club is in position number 3, which brings a place in the semi-finals of the promotion for League 1. Like their rival, they have won the last 3 matches, in a good mood expecting this repeated match.

West Bromwich vs Chesterfield: WEST BROMWICH AH -1.5 WIN

WBA certainly has much bigger ambitions in the Championship than in the FA Cup, but in this case the way to the finals of the competition has been opened for them so they can try to take advantage of that. It is unlikely that such a bad defensive day will be repeated as in the first match against Chesterfield when they conceded 3 goals, so we expect a much better performance from the hosts in that segment of the game. AH -1.5 seems very likely
