Match preview

Two sides separated by just a solitary point in the Championship table are primed to lock horns in a Championship clash at The Hawthorns on Saturday, December 17th.

The matchup in question will see a West Bromwich Albion outfit surging up the table in England’s 2nd tier play host to struggling Rotherham United.

Beginning with the former, West Brom, of course, are currently in the midst of a remarkable resurgence.

After spending the bulk of the campaign to date scrapping amongst the bottom three, the Baggies, either side of the World Cup break, have managed to position themselves two points clear of the drop zone, whilst in possession of a game in hand.

The latest came earlier this week, and in altogether impressive fashion, at the Stadium of Light. Goals on the part of Tom Rogic and Daryl Dike ensured that Amad Diallo’s early Sunderland opener proved little more than a consolation en route to a 2-1 West Brom win.

Carlos Corberan and co, in turn, will no doubt be confident in their chances of making it five successive three-point hauls on Saturday afternoon.

This comes with the Baggies’ upcoming opponents having endured an altogether less fruitful go of things of late.

Rotherham, dating back to late October, have secured victory from just one of their last eight attempts. This run includes a concerning five defeats, too, the latest of which came in the Millers post-international break return to action last weekend.

In something of a relegation six-pointer, Matt Taylor’s men welcomed a Bristol City outfit trailing them by two points in the table to the New York Stadium.

When all was said and done, though, the day’s hosts were downed by three goals to one, after Chiedozie Ogbene’s first-half equaliser was followed by goals on the part of Bristol pair Joe Williams and Cameron Pring.

Rotherham will therefore head into the weekend’s upcoming round of fixtures aware that an unfavourable set of results could see them plummet to within touching distance of the bottom three.

And we at 101 are backing West Brom to kick this very chain of events into gear, courtesy of a comfortable downing of the Millers at The Hawthorns on Saturday.
