West Bromwich vs. Burnley Betting Odds, Preview, Prediction

The lone Sunday Premier League match is between a couple of squads that have gotten off to slow starts this season.

Burnley is in the bottom of the EPL table and one of only three squads that have yet to win a match. West Bromwich is near the relegation zone but coming off its first win of the young season in its last match.

The one thing Burnley has going for it is the fact that it has three straight draws.

At sportsbooks tracked by Odds Shark, West Brom is the big home Premier League betting favorite posted at 1-1, with Burnley at 16-5 and a draw line of 5-2.

It is pretty obvious that you need to score to win, which has been Burnley’s major problem so far on the season, as it has only one goal in five league matches.

While the Burnley offense has been sputtering, the defense has been great. After giving up four goals in its first two matches, it has not conceded any goals in its last three. However, in its last four matches, it has failed to score.

Burnley keeper Tom Heaton and the defense have three straight clean sheets, but can the offense do anything on the road this Sunday? Scott Arfield scored the lone goal this season in the first match, and he is a midfielder.

West Brom also has issues on offense, with only three goals—two of which came in the first match. However, the squad has to have confidence after beating Tottenham on the road 1-0 in its last EPL match and beating Hull City 3-2 in the Capital One Cup.

West Brom has conceded seven goals this season but is coming off a clean sheet.

Saido Berahino has two of the three goals for West Brom this season, and he scored in the recent win in the Capital One Cup.

Prediction: Burnley has three points in its last three matches, but it needs to get some wins to climb out of the relegation zone. However, the first win of the season will not come in this match, as a confident West Brom squad will win on its pitch 2-0.
