Wrexham vs West Brom — Tips & Analysis

West Brom +0.25: West Brom have built this one on defending. They let in under a goal a game and have kept two clean sheets in their last five games. Wrexham are the wrong side to come up against that. They score just over a goal a game, and only 7 of their last 18 games have had 3 or more goals. Wrexham are also short of bodies. Broadhead, Cacace, Cleworth and Thomason are out, and Windass, Sheaf and Doyle are all late calls after Windass took a knock at Derby. That thins an attack which was not scoring much anyway. West Brom have won 7 of their last 16 games and have lost by 2 or more goals only once in that run. They know how to win ugly, and they have the calmer team news of the two. A 0-1 away win is the likeliest finish, and that is exactly the kind of night this pick wants. Two things give us pause. West Brom have no win in their last three and have lost four of their eight away games, so the clean sheets are not the whole story. They have also been winning tight games without making many chances, and that can catch up with a team. We still side with the better defense.
