West Brom - Southampton: Form Analysis
West Brom finished fifth in the regular season with 75 points, five above the chasing pack outside the top six. The Baggies ended the season with a 3-0 win over Preston, which was a confidence booster. It was a much-needed result, as West Brom lost three games in a row before that. In fact, their leading form into the business end was all shambles. West Brom could win only two of their last eight league games, losing and drawing three each, casting shadows over their form coming into the playoffs. In spite of all their problems, West Brom have managed to hold their own at home this season. They have won ten of their last 14 matches at this venue in all competitions. That includes four wins out of the last six home league games, losing only once.
Southampton did win 2-0 at this venue in the regular season and have done a league double over West Brom, beating them 2-1 at St. Mary's. The Saints finished fourth in the regular season with 87 points, nine points behind the top two. If their form hadn't faltered late in the season, they would have made a dash for a top-two finish. Southampton won 2-1 against Leeds, another playoff team, on the final matchday. That win stopped a three-game losing streak and was needed to give them a boost going into the playoffs. With a goal tally of 87 in the regular season, Southampton have been one of the best-scoring sides in the division. Yet, they will keep an eye on their recent away record, losing three and drawing one of their last five league matches on the road.
