West Bromwich have been aiming to return to the Premier League for a number of years. In the new season, the Thrashers have made a very convincing start, but now they are not in the best shape – seven rounds without a win.
Burnley are also aiming for a return to the Premier League, but have not been very impressive so far. The team achieves results and goes to the top of the standings, but the soccer is not too spectacular. This is surprising, because the club has powerful resources, a strong squad and expensive transfers.
The match is unlikely to have a large number of dangerous moments and goals. The opponents do not score much, and most importantly play reliably in defense. The hosts have eight conceded goals, and the guests have six. In three of the four previous face-to-face matches between these opponents less than three goals were scored.
