Match Outcome Statistics
* 3-way betting is when you bet on the match result as one of home win (1), draw (X) or away win (2)
* Halftime/ Fulltime betting is when you bet on the outcome combination of both periods
* Ex: 1/2 means in the end of the first half West Bromwich Albion will be leading but the match will end Manchester City winning
* Double chance betting is similar to 3-way betting but in this case the bet covers either one of two possible outcomes
* Ex: 1/2 means in the end of the first half West Bromwich Albion will be leading but the match will end Manchester City winning
- West Bromwich Albion
- Manchester City
Goal Scoring Statistics
* Over/Under bets are the ones when you bet on the number of goals exceeding or not exceeding a certain limit.
* Ex: Over 2.5 means the total number of goals will be over 2.5 such as; 2-1, 2-2, 3-2
* Correct score betting is when you bet on the exact score outcome of the match.
* These statistics show how many times a team scored a certain amount of goals

* There are different betting markets when goaltimes statistics can be used, such as West Bromwich Albion will score in the first half.
TIP: Usually goal time bets are done during live matches.
* Clean sheet / Failed to score statistics can be used to bet on either one of the team keeping a clean sheet in a match.

Well, tactics Tony really fudged this one up. Should've deployed his 7-3-0 formation. As soon as City scored their first, it looked ominous. Pep's teams relish playing against those who are attacking. Small matter of Barcelona midweek. That will possibly be a bigger test...
@SteveHyland Actually WBA were too defensive first half for me. Second half they went more attacking and got right back in the game before the 3rd goal killed them off. I don't really agree. Man City have struggled more against teams that have been braver with a higher press and showed more intent going forward.
@TacticalMastermind2.0- I didn't watch the game, just taking the mick out of Pulis and his rabbit-in-headlights tactics against top teams which usually results in sticking everybody behind the ball and hoping. I did see the highlights and the mini boost at 2-0 (instigated by the annoyed WBA fans). The 2 Aguero goals game from crap defending, albeit including a great finish, and you can't legislate for that. I agree his City team has struggled against aggressive pressers- Spurs in particular, but his Barcelona and Bayern teams tended to look far more comfortable when a team was attacking, because of the space it presents- which is paramount for his style, and uncomfortable when a team sat back and countered (Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Celtic, Juventus, Real Madrid....). It's kind of the obvious game-plan against his teams. You need the players to be able to counter though and West Brom have none of those.
Agüero provided an assist too.
@MrNemobody it slightly touched the defender. I agree though that this ought to count as an assist, it never does on here though
Where is Sane´?
@neumi17- Probably gone to man up after being so easily guided off the ball against Utd midweek. I see in him what I saw in Pires and Oezil when they first came to Arsenal- somebody with immense talent who is too lightweight to play in this league. Robert and Mesut built up and changed their attitudes (got tougher one would say). Sane needs to do the same, otherwise he simply will not make it.
I think this will be the first draw between these two sides since before 2013. WBA are slowly starting to look good again and Man. C. are not looking their best a.t.m. Against Man. U. they hardly created any scoring chances. Havin' drawn with Celtic, Everton and Southampton, while WBA have drawn against Stoke, Sunderland and Tottenham makes this feature smell like a stalemate.
This will be City at its best and backlash to WBA.
Guardiola should prepare for relegation fight. WBA 2-1
@koziol.mutant I think you're confusing City with United.
City win with 1 goal handicap 1-3 or 0-3
Need to bounce back here, barca next game we can't go 8 games without a win. It would undo the great start we had to the season. I hope we turn up and put 3 or 4 past these but i will settle for a 2-1 win
No doubt city will nail this
I agree this will likely be a draw, largely due to Pulis' tactical brilliance including his 7-3-0 formation. On the plus side, City may break the premier league all time record in possession (since it was calculated by means of number of passes relative to total match passes, I mean) and Pep loves his possession, especially when it's in the 80% range. He'll have to stick his hands in his pockets or something.....
go pep go pep go pep
Pep has never faced the phenomenon that is Tony Pulis. His brain will not comprehend such negative tactics, a team with 9 defenders, a striker and a keeper. Plus he won't have MSN to pick that bus apart. So it will be a draw.
@What4- A striker? :-o . Tony getting progressive in his old age! Ha
Draw.
0-1 City
1-3
