Last game of the weekend to make some money on and i think West Brom have a great shout to climb a few places up the table tonight, while Southampton must be feeling that if this run of form continues, they'll not be long in this league.


West Brom

West Brom have started this season very well given the size of the club. Much like Newcastle, West Brom - who went up the same year - have really gotten to grips with this league. They play a flowing style of football that creates enough chances, backed by a stout defence.

Last week they lost right at the death to Newcastle, but played some really good football, anchored by Yusuf Mulumbu and with the second half sub outlet of Shane Long.

Southampton are going to struggle against a team who at home have been strong, winning 3 of 4 scoring 10, and with them using the full width of the pitch, we should see them dominate possession and attacking prowess tonight.


Southampton

The Saints have been playing some really good football this season, scoring goals and creating chances, but their problems are at the back, and so far the 16 goals allowed on the road have kept them way down the bottom of the table. Home form moves you up the table, but the ability to get results on the road keeps you in the league.

Last week they lost 2-1 to a Tottenham side that weren't at their best, but were clinical. The Saints just don't have the quality it seems, and it says a lot that their only win so far was against Villa, another side who look good for relegation.



Conclusion

The Saints created chances against Spurs last week but could only get one goal back and going on the road against West Brom, eager to avenge that last minute loss to Newcastle, i doubt they'll be able to contain Long, Odemwingie and co, not to mention a midfield packed with underrated talent.

Expect West Brom to win this game, scoring 3 at least in the process.

West Brom Win @ 8/11
West Brom TT Over 2.5 goals @ 2/1

I think they should win. And at least 2 goals for the game total . Shane Long is out for Brom. So Lukaku will be the focus.

Shame to hear that Sov, big fan of Shane Long, Lukaku is going to be a real threat

How much you laying on Brom for the win

I may take the wussy route and take PK,-0.5 Brom
Southamton is a Championship caliber team and not worth of the Premiership.. But they actually have 14 goals to Broms 13 for. BUT AGAIN, S'Hampton has 26 GA ... sooo kind of a wash stat.

[Sovereign7]

Apparently Long is a possibility. Perhaps a half time sub or early sub off 'round 60'min

Brunt is back (Capt) and so is Billy Jones for Brom as well

[Smogs]

I'm going heavy here, rating it as a 8 or 9 out of 10 type bet, thanks for the team news

[sergiudec]

On it boys . BOL.

Smog,

How do I look for YOUR posts on OLBG? I have been a member there for a while but don't actually do anything on it, just browse the tips section the odd time.

35 mins in and my pessimism is creeping in

[soul786]

There we go!!! One for WBA

[Smogs]

Yes!! As soon as i post, they score, get in there!!!!!!!

[Sovereign7]

WINGYYYY - see what happens when you shave your head and lose the bleached hair? U come to your senses and score goals

[soul786]

I got a bad line at -1 betting early, game's been tight I wish I had the -0.5

Long could've dropped in the box if he wanted to... He's Irish though. not Italian

I saw that too! If he dropped he would have got the penalty, strong push he got through

[Smogs]

Yeah, if Long had put that run away, we'd be sitting pretty, 1-0 is dangerous as hell, need a blitz of goals early 2nd half

[Sovereign7]

take Lambert out, they don't have a chance. He's always creeping on that sloppy counter. They play long ball.
Chances should come though. Just the way S'hampton is giving the ball away. PLUS - Lukaku will make an appearance should things look tight.It may be Long for Lu' since hes just back from injury

[soul786]

What a goal, 2-0 and looks like they said lukaku is also coming in

[Smogs]

Oh what a goal that was!!!!! One more please just to kill it off

[soul786]

Yes please

[Fayt13]

What did you get -1 at Soul?

[Unsteeled101]

should be a penalty

[soul786]

What did you get -1 at Soul?

Took it at +161, felt really strong about it

Then money started flowing into Southampton's ML so I got worried my -1 wouldn't hold up; won't complain I'll take the win

Job done, guys, thanks for tuning in
