West Brom v Bristol City

They did the job for us on Saturday, and we're backing Bristol City again this week when they face West Brom.

Getting all three points against Sheffield United was probably a reasonably fortunate result for the Robins - one which took them to third in the table, but over the season they are there on merit, achieving a superb 55% shot ratio and 65% shots-on-target ratio and it's hard to make West Brom odds-on to beat them in my eyes.

The Baggies have been prolific in front of goal so far this campaign - scoring a league best 16 goals so far, but those have come at a rate of one goal for every 6.13 shots. That has to drop down to more normal levels over the course of the season, and they might reasonably have found themselves on more like 10 goals at this stage in another season. Of course seven came against QPR - achieved from just nine shots on target, so that was certainly something rather extraordinary.

More concerning is their defence, who have allowed 104 shots against. Only Bolton are worse in that regard, so the Robins will fancy their chances of getting on the scoresheet.
