Bournemouth vs West Bromwich Albion: Preview & Prediction

West Brom boss Tony Pulis signed a two-and-a-half year deal at The Hawthorns in January 2015.

Tony Pulis has managed to keep West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League once again, but progress will be vital next season. The price we are getting on this match is quite good and I think that both team match each other on the pitch so it will be a fair result.

As for West Brom, Pulis could hand some of his youngsters a chance to perform at the Vitality Stadium, including Sam Field, Tyler Roberts and Jonathan Leko.

However, they have been successful against West Brom on two separate occasions this season in league and cup, and are in search of a first ever league double against the Baggies.

The Cherries are now 15th in the table, nine points off the bottom three with just two more games left to play.

Chris Brunt (knee) and James Morrison (hamstring), however, will not feature.

He said: “Yeah of course, I’ll speak to the chairman as soon as the season finishes”.

Pulis reckons too many young players are wrapped in cotton wool and should be sent out on loan to learn in the school of hard knocks.

It was recently confirmed by Bournemouth that full-back Adam Smith will not be available for the team’s final two games against West Brom and Manchester United because of a groin injury.

West Brom won 1-0 on their last league visit to Bournemouth, in the third tier in January 1993.

They have also been poor in front of goal in that winless run, having found the net just twice in their last seven fixtures, going goalless in five of those matches.

“Once again, we have selected to work alongside a brand that will align with the club’s ongoing aspirations for global recognition”, said Adrian Wright, sales and marketing director at WBA.

They have won just one of their last 13 Premier League away games (D6, L6).

He has guided them to safety this season, with the Baggies in 14th in the Barclays Premier League, and they go to Bournemouth on Saturday.
