Comparative Team Statistics: West Brom vs Birmingham

A recent history of stalemates

The two most recent meetings between these clubs finished 0-0 and 1-1. Before that, results were more varied, with wins on both sides going back through the 2010s and beyond, including some higher-scoring games.

Older meetings aren't much of a guide to current form, but the last two encounters do line up with what both teams have been doing lately: tight scorelines and games settled by fine margins.

Where they sit in the table

West Brom are fifth after eight games, with 14 points from four wins, two draws and two losses. Their goal difference is modest but positive, having scored 10 and conceded 8.

Birmingham are down in tenth on 11 points from the same number of games. They've lost just once this season, but five draws show a side that's struggling to turn control into three points.

West Brom hold a clearer table advantage, but Birmingham's low loss count suggests they're hard to beat outright.

Key contributors so far

J. Morgan has been West Brom's main attacking outlet this season, with 3 goals and 3 assists in 8 appearances. For Birmingham, L. Millar has chipped in with 3 assists in just 4 matches, suggesting a useful creative spark when selected.

Birmingham:

Best assist providers:

L. Millar - 3

Penalty cards:

B. Osayi-Samuel x 3

On discipline, O. Diakité and N. Phillips have picked up the most bookings for West Brom, while Osayi-Samuel leads the way for Birmingham. Nothing here points to suspensions, just a sign both sides have had some physical edge to their games.

How this one might play out

Given the last two head-to-head results and Birmingham's tendency to draw games this season, a cagey, tightly contested match looks a reasonable expectation. West Brom's home advantage and better underlying numbers give them a slight edge, but Birmingham's low loss count suggests they won't be easy to break down.

If West Brom's Morgan finds space early, that could open the game up. If not, this has the look of another low-scoring, closely fought contest between these two.
