Supercomputer predicts crucial West Brom showdown vs Charlton in Championship
Eric Ramsay is looking to secure a first win at West Brom as they take on Charlton next in the Championship.
The Baggies boss is under immense pressure after failing to win in his opening eight matches in charge, with relegation looming.
Leicester City’s points deduction has provided a little bit of relief, as the Foxes are now one point behind The Hawthorns club.
With plenty of football still to play, getting wins on the board must happen sooner rather than later if West Brom want to avoid dropping to League One.
Supporters have not witnessed a league win since 29 December against QPR; however, that could be about to change, as Charlton come to town on Tuesday.
West Brom predicted as favourites to beat Charlton
West Brom are on a run of nine Championship games without a win, with the Baggies four points above Charlton before that series of matches began.
In that same stretch, the London club have managed to overtake the Midlands side and now sits six points above.
Despite Nathan Jones’ Charlton being in better form, Opta’s supercomputer suggests that Ramsay should feel confident about finally securing a win.
- West Brom have been given a 42.4 per cent chance of beating Charlton
- Charlton have been given a 30.9 per cent chance of getting all three points
- A draw has been given a 26.7 per cent probability of occurring
In the reverse fixture at The Valley, the Addicks beat West Brom 1-0 and are now looking to complete a league double over the Baggies for the first time since 2002-03.
Additionally, history favours the away side for this game, as the B71 outfit have won just one of their last five home league games against the south-east London club.
Is Eric Ramsay on his last lifeline at West Brom?
At this stage, you must assume that Ramsay is teetering on the edge of being sacked, as results have not arrived as his appointment was intended to do.
Reports have suggested Ramsay is under intense scrutiny, and another game without a win could be the final nail in the coffin.
West Brom cannot afford to waste any more time on the 34-year-old, and if the winless streak continues, they must surely make the decision to let him go.
As relegation looms over Shilen Patel and the Baggies, they simply cannot afford to waste any time with a decision, as if they continue to hesitate and evaluate the situation, it may be too late by the time they make it.
