West Brom vs BurnleyPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

The new Championship season has started well for West Brom, who won 2-1 away on matchday one and go into this on the back of five straight wins if last season's closing fixtures are included: victories over Norwich, Rotherham, Peterborough, Shrewsbury and Bromley, scoring at least twice in each. Burnley, by contrast, were held 2-2 at home by West Ham on opening day, continuing a mixed run: draws with Notts County and Espanyol, losses to Torino and Ajax in the games immediately before that. The five meetings between the two sides show four draws and one Burnley win, the most recent a 1-1 draw at Burnley's ground in March 2025. So far this campaign, the league is averaging 2.83 goals per game. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
