Recent form

West Brom

West Brom's recent form has been solid, with three wins and three draws in their last six matches, placing them 5th in the league with 72 points from 42 games. The team is currently on a three-match unbeaten run, having won their most recent game against Rotherham 2-0. West Brom has been scoring consistently, averaging 2.17 goals per game in their last six matches, with a particularly high-scoring 4-1 victory against Huddersfield. However, they have also conceded in four out of the six games, with an average of 1 goal conceded per match. Interestingly, 67% of their recent matches have seen both teams score, and half of the games have featured over 2.5 goals, indicating a tendency for entertaining, high-scoring encounters.

Sunderland

Sunderland, currently sitting in 13th position with 53 points from 42 games, have had a mixed run of form in their last six matches. They have managed to keep four clean sheets during this period, highlighting their defensive resilience. However, their attacking prowess has been lacking, scoring only five goals in these six games, resulting in a low goals scored per game average of 0.83. Notably, Sunderland suffered a heavy 5-1 defeat against Blackburn, which is their only loss by more than a two-goal margin in this stretch. Despite this setback, they bounced back with a 2-0 away win against Cardiff in their following game. The majority of their recent matches have been low-scoring affairs, with 67% of the games featuring under 2.5 goals, and both teams scoring in only 33% of the fixtures.

Recent home/away form

West Brom

West Brom's recent home form has been impressive, with four wins, one draw, and one loss in their last six matches at The Hawthorns. The Baggies have kept three clean sheets during this period, showcasing their defensive solidity. They have scored 10 goals in these six games, averaging 1.67 goals per game, while conceding only five goals, resulting in a goal difference of +5. It's worth noting that West Brom achieved a three-game winning streak at home, defeating Bristol City, Coventry, and Cardiff, before their loss to Southampton. The majority of their home games (67%) have seen under 2.5 goals, indicating that their matches tend to be relatively low-scoring affairs.

Sunderland

Sunderland's recent away form has been poor, with the team suffering a run of four consecutive defeats before managing to secure a win and a draw in their last two matches on the road. The Black Cats have struggled to find the back of the net consistently, scoring just five goals in their previous six away games, at an average of 0.83 goals per game. Defensively, they have conceded eight goals during this period, with an average of 1.33 goals conceded per game. One particularly high-scoring game was their 4-2 loss against Southampton, which saw a total of six goals. Despite their recent struggles, Sunderland's last two away results, a 2-0 win against Cardiff and a goalless draw against Leeds United, suggest that they may be turning a corner in their performances away from home.
