West Brom Betting Odds

Can the Baggies Climb Back to the Premier League? That is the question on most fans minds going into the new Championship season.

West Bromwich Albion are a club steeped in history, with a passionate fanbase yearning for a return to the Premier League. After narrowly missing out on promotion last season, falling short in the play-off semi-finals against Southampton, the sense of hope has tinged over the sense of frustration that was brewing at The Hawthorns. Can Carlos Corberán's men finally break through and reclaim their place in the top flight?

West Brom's Odds to Win the Championship

The Baggies entered the season facing an uphill battle. The departures of key players like Brandon Thomas-Asante, Okay Yokuşlu, and Conor Townsend left significant gaps in the squad. While new additions have arrived, the consensus is that West Brom may lack the firepower needed to compete with the likes of pre-season favourites Leeds United and Burnley.

That said, Corberán has instilled a resilient spirit in his team. They are difficult to beat at the Hawthorns and could spring a surprise. The early season form of Josh Maja, who appears poised to lead the line after the departure of last season's top scorer Thomas-Asante (who only managed a combined 18 goals over the past two seasons), offers a glimmer of hope for Baggies fans.

West Brom's Playoff Chances

While automatic promotion looks a stretch, the playoffs represent a more realistic route back to the Premier League for West Brom. Corberán's men possess the grit and talent to secure a top-six finish.

However, what outsiders may not realise is that recent history paints a grim picture for the Baggies in the playoffs. They've stumbled at this hurdle in their last five attempts dating back to 1992/93. Could it be sixth time lucky in 2024/25?

Despite their playoff demons, West Brom's experience and squad depth make them strong contenders to reach the playoffs once again.

Bet on West Brom to be Relegated

Relegation is the least likely scenario for West Brom this season. However, the Championship is notoriously unpredictable, and there isn't a team in the division who are guaranteed to avoid the drop.

The lack of consistent goal-scoring remains a concern, and any significant injuries, particularly in defence or midfield, could derail their season. With the Championship more competitive and balanced than ever, even a slight dip in form could see West Brom dragged into a relegation battle.
