West Brom vs. Aston Villa tip, prognosis & odds 12/20/2020 - Premier League

For years West Bromwich Albion was a permanent member of the Premier League before relegation to the championship followed in the 2017/18 season. The immediate return to the top floor of English football was avoided in the playoffs of the 2018/19 season, but the well-deserved promotion for West Brom succeeded in the second attempt in the last season.

Since then, things haven't been going smoothly for the promoted player from the championship. The Baggies are stuck in the Premier League table cellar, so every point win is balm for the soul. On Sunday evening, WBA will appear for the first time under the new head coach Sam Allardyce.

A few hours after the surprising point at Manchester City, ex-coach Slaven Bilic was dismissed from the board. The change of coach had already begun in the weeks before, but the decision after the strong performance against the Citizens was not really to be expected.

Now Allardyce is supposed to fix it, who will meet Aston Villa for his coaching debut at WBA in the Hawthorns. In contrast to the Baggies, the guests got off to a promising start to the season and even finished second in the table.

Accordingly, it is not surprising that West Brom vs. Aston Villa only odds of 2.00 for tip 2 are offered by the best bookmakers.

Relegation remains the primary goal for the newly promoted West Midlands. Under the ex-coach Slaven Bilic, the Baggies played a strong second division season, where they were promoted to the Premier League as runner-up, but they could not build on it in the Premier League.

Ironically, after a surprising point gain in Citizens' Etihad, the board announced the dismissal, and Sam Allardyce will be his successor. The 66-year-old from Dudley will be taking on a team for the first time since his release from Everton almost two years ago.

After the Baggies regained their confidence during the week, it cannot be ruled out that Allardyce will benefit from the momentum of his predecessor on Sunday evening. At Hawthorns, WBA currently has a home record of 1-2-3, including the recent home bankruptcy against Crystal Palace, where West Brom was shot down with five goals conceded.

Will Allardyce make his coaching debut again?
With West Brom, Sam Allardyce is already the eighth Premier League club in his ongoing coaching career. In the English House of Lords there was previously a record of 5-1-1 in his seven coaching debuts, with only his debut as head coach of Sunderland (2015) being messed up.

At the home game against the Villans, the 66-year-old is expected to have five failures, including Matheus Pereira, who will continue to be suspended. According to the current statistics in the Premier League, WBA is currently the third weakest offensive and the worst defensive team in the English House of Lords.
