West Brom defender George Campbell made BTTS come in all on his own against Sheffield United on Saturday. Still, there are signs that the caretaker team led by James Morrison have made changes that have produced more attacking threat for the Baggies.
They have scored and created over 1 xG, in each of their last three matches, which is better than the previous record of not scoring in four of their previous five.
However, while they have scored in each of their last three, they have also conceded in all of those matches. Indeed, they have conceded in five straight matches, and an average of 1.7 goals conceded per match in their last 30 matches.
Southampton are definitely having no problem scoring goals. They have scored in 12 successive matches in all competitions, averaging 2.1 goals per game in their last 10. That is an overperformance from their xG of 1.47 over that same time frame, but they are conceding 1.11 xG over that time as well.
Also, it should be mentioned that both teams are really desperate for the points. West Brom are embroiled in a relegation battle, and Southampton need the maximum points to try and chase down Wrexham in sixth.
