The Hawthorns hosts a top-five clash on Tuesday night, and West Brom vs Southampton shapes up as an open, attacking Championship scrap between two sides in form.
West Brom arrive buoyant after taking 10 points from their last four games. Saturday's win at West Ham was a statement, with Jimmy-Jay Morgan and Callum Styles striking after the break.
Southampton hammered QPR 4-1 on Saturday. Tonda Eckert's side have won six of their last eight Championship games and arrive in no mood to slow down.
Only a point separates the sides in the table. History favours the visitors, though, with Southampton unbeaten in their last six matches against West Brom in all competitions.
West Brom vs Southampton Form
West Brom have won 5 of their last 10 matches, but the recent trend is sharper than that. The 3-1 win at the London Stadium showed off their finishing and their knack for coming from behind, while Isaac Price has been a constant menace from the left. Morgan's knock is the one cloud.
Southampton have won 6 of their last 10, and the bigger picture is even more ominous. They are undefeated in 32 of their last 34 matches in the Championship. With Finn Azaz behind the striker and Kuryu Matsuki in scoring touch, this is a side that punishes loose defending.
West Brom vs Southampton Lineups & Team News
Injuries & Suspensions
West Brom: Nolan Galves (Injured/out), Mikey Johnston (Injured/out), Toby Collyer (Injured/out), Jimmy-Jay Morgan (Injured/doubtful)
Southampton: Cyle Larin (Doubtful)
West Brom
The West Brom vs Southampton lineups are probable rather than confirmed, and the hosts' big worry is Jimmy-Jay Morgan, who is doubtful after picking up an injury against West Ham. Expect Aune Heggebø to lead the line. Nolan Galves, Mikey Johnston and Toby Collyer are all out, and losing Johnston hurts given he has set up goals in two of his three most recent Championship outings against Southampton.
Southampton
Flynn Downes returned to the squad against QPR and is expected to replace Cameron Bragg, partnering James Ward-Prowse in the engine room. Cyle Larin remains doubtful, so Lewis Dobbin is the probable starter up front.

West Brom vs Southampton Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: West Brom 2-2 Southampton. Our West Brom vs Southampton prediction respects the hosts' form, but this has goals written all over it, and Southampton's unbeaten record against the Baggies makes a share of the spoils the call. West Brom are only narrow favourites at 11/8 with Bet365, which tells you how tight this is.
Best Bets
Over 2.5 goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market, backed by a model projecting a high-scoring game. The projections point to close to three and a half goals, and the implied probability in the price undersells how open this should be. Both attacks rate highly for finishing, which is why this leads our West Brom vs Southampton best bets.
Both Teams To Score: Yes, with each side expected to find the net. Southampton are among the sharpest finishers around and West Brom are rated highly for coming back from losing positions, so goals at both ends make sense. The projections have each side comfortably clearing a goal, and that edge is not reflected in the price.
West Brom vs Southampton Bet Builder
Our West Brom vs Southampton bet builder tips combine Isaac Price shots, a Kuryu Matsuki goal, a Cyle Larin shot on target and plenty of corners, priced at 35/1 with Bet365.
Isaac Price Over 2.5 Player Shots: Price has fired off three or more shots in each of his latest four Championship outings, and West Brom love attacking down his left flank.
Kuryu Matsuki Anytime Goalscorer: Matsuki has hit the net in three of his four most recent league games in the Championship, and West Brom's weakness against through balls plays straight into Southampton's favourite weapon.
Cyle Larin Over 0.5 Player Shots On Target: Larin is doubtful and outside the probable XI, but seven of his previous ten Championship games have brought at least one effort on target. Check team news before kick-off.
Over 13.5 Total Corners: This line landed in 4 of West Brom's last 6 matches. The Baggies have also had 6+ corners in 5 of their last 6 Championship meetings with Southampton.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 35/1 and is as short as 28/1 elsewhere.

West Brom vs Southampton Talking Points
The real story here is style. Tonda Eckert has called West Brom "one of the toughest" opponents of the season because of their shift to a possession-based game, and James Morrison, made permanent head coach in April 2026, has built a side that loves short passing and getting at teams down the left. Southampton are just as comfortable on the ball but add a counter-attacking edge, and they sit fifth despite a four-point deduction applied to this season. The West Brom vs Southampton betting odds lean slightly towards the hosts, but with two attacks this sharp and defences this loose, expect a messy, open evening rather than a stubborn one.
