West Brom vs Swansea City Prediction and Betting Tips | August 12, 2023
West Brom host Swansea City at the Hawthorns on Saturday (August 12) on matchday two of the EFL Championship as both teams look to pick up their first win of the campaign.
The Baggies began their top-flight campaign with a 2-1 defeat of Blackburn Rovers last weekend. Dilan Markanday and Harry Leonard struck inside the opening 22 minutes. Matthew Phillips reduced the deficit five into the second half as West Brom threatened a comeback but couldn't find another goal.
On Wednesday, Carlos Corberán's side went down 2-1 to Stoke City in the Carabao Cup, ending their run in the first round.
Swansea, meanwhile, managed a point on the opening day, holding Birmingham City to a 1-1 draw at home. Jerry Yates scored in the 76th minute to cancel out Siriki Dembele's first-half opener for the Blues.
However, the Swans recovered to beat Northampton Town 3-0 in the cup, a few days later. Goals from Joel Piroe and Josh Ginnelly helped book their passage to the second round.
Swansea may seem like favourites following their dominant cup win in the midweek and West Brom's back-to-back defeats. However, the Hawthorns could make a comeback and hold the Swans to a draw.
