Bournemouth v West Brom

Bournemouth vs West Brom Preview

Bournemouth extended their impressive and solid looking unbeaten run in all competitions to eight games last Saturday when The Cherries registered a 1-0 home win against the English top flight strugglers Everton at the Vitality Stadium and the south coast hosts will hold home advantage once again for Saturday's FA Cup tie against Championship side west Brom.

West Brom gained a point in a 1-1 draw away from home at Swansea City last weekend in the Championship which underlines how tough it has been to beat The Baggies in recent times as the west midlands club have suffered just two defeats in their previous 18 games overall in the English second tier.

Bournemouth have picked up five wins within their last eight unbeaten matches in the Premier League which have seen Andoni Iraola's side collect important victories against the likes of Wolves, Tottenham, Ipswich Town, Manchester United and Everton respectively which will give the hosts plenty of confidence for this upcoming sup-tie.

The bigger picture shows Bournemouth have slipped to just two losses in their last 13 matches overall which came in the shape of losses incurred against Brentford and Brighton but The Cherries hold a decent record on home soil overall at their Vitality Stadium.

Indeed, Bournemouth have lost just three out of their last 19 home games in all competitions while seven of Bournemouth's last 10 home games have resulted in Under 2.5 goals.

West Brom bring a decent and sustained run of results overall into this upcoming FA Cup tie down on the south coast at the Vitality Stadium as The Baggies have been handed just two defeats in their last 18 matches, both of which were inflicted upon Carlos Corberan's side on their travels.

However, a closer look at these results show West Brom have managed to produce just four wins within these last 18 matches along with the two defeats but the draw has featured on a prominent basis as the west midlands club have also been involved in no fewer than 12 stalemates within this period.

Three of these four wins have been achieved on home soil at The Hawthorns with victories gained over the likes of Coventry City, Bristol City and Preston NE respectively but wins have been in short supply away from home in recent times for the visitors.

West Brom have managed to collect just one win from their last 11 outings on the road but the visitors have been handed just three defeats, while the draw has also occurred seven times as well which have contributed to seven of these 11 away games also resulting in Under 2.5 goals.
