Championship First Game Preview

AFC Bournemouth vs West Bromwich Albion
Kick off: 7:45pm BST

Scot Parker’s Bournemouth are a small squad but with Parker at the helm, it’s a disciplined and well managed side nonetheless. Going from his Fulham reign, it was well organised & football was consistent and principled, rarely deviating from his tactics of controlling play. My doubt in this team is the lack of depth, a team that hasn’t made much movement in the transfer market must be focussing their efforts on training the quality they have. I can’t back a win for the hosts despite them favourites purely because I am not convinced at the squad they have, although I could be proven wrong.

Albion are new the division after suffering relegation from the premier league, however their foundations are still in tact with the majority of the squad remaining. In the expectation of promotion immediately, the side have added a few faces to the team improving the squad depth (unlike today’s rivals). On the contrary, my concern is the coach, having little knowledge of him but with a squad of quality players they could win. Big Sam crying gravy.

Essentially this game is very much a coin toss since each team has something that excels them but also hinders them. A draw seems suitable and of best value since it’s the very start of the new season and the Championship is full of surprises. I recommend paper betting this game, I myself want to see more games before I go into hard betting. Draw no bet for the visitors or under 2.5 goals is another option to consider. I will try to catch this game and see if I can post an inplay.

Edit:
Final Score: 2-2
- Draw comes in, Under 2.5 doesn't and neither does away win.
