Despite the Championship proudly displaying its moniker of being the ‘most unpredictable league in the world’, we over at Freebets.com are squaring up to the challenge.
Bournemouth host the newly-relegated West Bromwich Albion on Friday night and we’ve crunched the numbers as Scott Parker and Valérien Ismaël look to get off to winning starts for their new clubs.
So buckle up as another season of Championship yo-yoing begins!
It’s an 11/1 Bet Builder that we’ve thrown together for tonight’s big opener.
- Over 4.5 WBA corners
- Jake Livermore yellow card
- West Brom/Draw double chance
Bournemouth v West Brom Bet Builder Betting Tip:
Over 4.5 WBA corners
West Brom enjoyed over four corners in four of their last five Premier League matches last season, and that was with the Baggies struggling against relegation.
We’re expecting the visitors to enjoy plenty of the ball on Friday night and create numerous goal-scoring opportunities going forward.
Corners should be a by-product inside the Vitality Stadium with over 4.5 WBA corners a nice way to kick off the Bet Builder.
Jake Livermore yellow card
Oh, Jake.
Livermore was booked 10 times in each of his last two Championship seasons with the Baggies, averaging out at around one in every four matches.
The marauding midfielder will be looking to control the game on Friday night, but we think that could lead to trouble…
West Brom/Draw double chance
West Brom have managed to cling onto most of their standout players, with Matt Phillips, Karlan Grant and Grady Diangana all expected to succeed in the Championship.
The Baggies are rightly favoured for promotion this season and we can’t see the inconsistent Cherries picking up an opening day victory.
