History of the West Bromwich Albion v Burnley fixture

West Brom prepare to entertain Burnley at The Hawthorns on Saturday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Baggies are clearly on top, winning 51.72% of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Hawthorns was two seasons ago, in September 2001, the Baggies carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League Division One match.

Recent respective form guides

West Bromwich Albion's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While Baggies have scored 6, a worringly large 17 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Burnley is pretty dire, losing every single one of the last six matches played! While the Clarets have hit 5 goals, 14 have hit the back of the wrong net.

West Brom are stuck down in the relegation zone of Nationwide League Division One with a return of just 0 points from their 1 games thus far. Burnley find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 0 points from their 1 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from West Brom at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Baggies will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
