On Monday, West Brom will face Swansea in hopes of reaching the top six by the end of the match, after their crucial victory against Norwich in their last game. Although Carlos Corberan has done a remarkable job of getting the Albion team back on track, losing games such as the one against Rotherham United have hindered their chances of making the playoffs, and they now need to rely on other teams' results to achieve their goal. With two points behind sixth place and sitting in eighth place in the Championship standings, West Brom must defeat Swansea and hope for Millwall and Sunderland to not win their games to secure their position in the top six.
West Bromwich Albion Predicted Lineup
Fisher; Latibeaudiere, Cabango, Wood, Manning; Grimes, Ntcham, Cundle, Cullen, Paterson; Piroe
Swansea City Form
Last Saturday, Swansea's hopes of finishing in the top six were ended following a 1-1 draw against Hull City at the MKM Stadium. Despite extending their unbeaten run to eight games, the task of finishing in the top six was always going to be challenging after a difficult start to the season. Currently in tenth place on 63 points, Swansea can only finish as high as seventh in the Championship standings this season. Joel Piroe has been an outstanding player for the club, scoring 18 league goals, which is only surpassed by Chuba Akpom, Viktor Gyokeres and Carlton Morris in the entire league. With their style of play, Swansea looks like a side capable of mounting a serious promotion charge, and Russell Martin will be hoping to carry their late-season form into the next campaign.
Swansea City possible lineup
Palmer; Furlong, Ajayi, Pieters, Townsend; Molumby, Yokuslu, Wallace, Swift, Grant; Thomas-Asante
West Bromwich Albion vs Swansea City Expert Tips
Swansea is currently in good form and looking to impress their home fans in their last game of the season. West Brom, on the other hand, will need to be aggressive in their approach to have any chance of making it into the top six. This could open up opportunities for Swansea's players such as Piroe and Ntcham to capitalize on counterattacks. We expect Swansea to win or draw the game with more than 2.5 goals scored in it.
