West Bromwich Albion will welcome Southampton to The Hawthorns in the EFL Championship on Tuesday. West Brom have seven wins from 13 league games, one fewer than the Saints, but are fourth in the standings, one place above them.
The hosts are on a four-game unbeaten run at the moment, recording three wins. They faced West Ham United last week and secured a 3-1 away win. Felix Horn Myhre broke the deadlock in the 20th minute, while Jimmy-Jay Morgan and Callum Styles were on the scoresheet after the break.
Thanks for the submission!
The visitors have also enjoyed a good run of form and are unbeaten in their last five league games, winning four. They hosted Queens Park Rangers (QPR) in their previous outing and registered a 4-1 win. Kuryu Matsuki gave them an early lead in the 11th minute, while Cameron Bragg, Keven Schlotterbeck, and Welington scored in the second half.

West Bromwich Albion vs Southampton prediction
The Baggies have lost just one of their last five games, with that defeat coming at home last month. Interestingly, they have failed to score in two of their last three home meetings against the visitors, which is cause for concern.
Toby Collyer was injured against Blackburn Rovers and is expected to be sidelined for six weeks. Nolan Galves is out for the rest of the season, while Mikey Johnston is also a long-term absentee.
The Saints have scored seven goals in their last two games and will look to continue their goalscoring form here. Notably, their two defeats in the Championship this season have been registered away from home.
Cyle Larin was not in the squad against QPR and is a major doubt for this match. Caspar Jander also missed that match due to a muscular injury and will undergo a late fitness test.
The visitors have been the dominant side in recent games in this fixture, and considering their better goalscoring form, we back them to secure a win.
