The Hawthorns hosts a compelling Championship clash on August 23 as West Bromwich Albion welcome Burnley, two recently relegated sides chasing immediate promotion.

Projected final score: 1-1<\/h3>

The H2H record is the defining factor here: Burnley are unbeaten in their last 7 meetings with West Brom, including back-to-back 1-1 and 0-0 draws in the two most recent clashes. West Brom's home shot advantage and early-season form offer some encouragement, but 3.30<\/a> reflects how reliably these sides cancel each other out.<\/p>

A low-scoring affair is likely given the structural caution both teams show in this fixture, with two of the last three H2H results producing under 2.5 goals. Burnley's defensive absences and both sides averaging 2.0 goals conceded per game suggest at least one goal each, making 1.77<\/a> a natural fit for a tight 1-1 outcome.<\/p>

Match Analysis<\/h2>

West Bromwich Albion enter as the home favorite at 2.80<\/a>, buoyed by a 2-1 opening-day victory at Norwich. Sitting 5th in the Championship, the Baggies boast superior possession and shot output, making them the logical pick to take at least a point.<\/p>
