West Brom vs Blackpool Prediction
West Brom have arguably been the most disappointing team in the league this season. Their relegation-threatening form has already seen them change managers.
Blackpool, meanwhile, have not had the best of times at the Hawthorns, having not won at the Baggies in over 50 years. However, this is a great opportunity for them to buck that trend, as West Brom are struggling for form.
Although either team could nick a win, the spoils could be shared in a low-scoring draw.
