Recent home/away form

West Brom

West Brom's recent home form presents a mixed picture, with no clear winning or losing streaks beyond two games. Their last six home matches have yielded two wins, one draw, and three losses, including a recent 1-0 victory against Swansea in the Championship. Despite conceding more goals (6) than they've scored (5) in these games, they've managed two clean sheets, including a goalless draw against Leeds United. The team's goal-scoring average of 0.83 per game at home is relatively low, but they've been involved in some close encounters, with half of their matches seeing both teams score and an even split between games with under and over 2.5 goals. Interestingly, their overall league position (1st with 13 points from 5 games) suggests stronger performances away from home or a recent upturn in form not fully reflected in this home record.

Their current league position of 16th with 5 points from 5 games reflects their mixed form both home and away.
