West Brom and Burnley are both demonstrating high goal-scoring potential in pre-season and early 2026/27 matches. With Burnley's defense struggling to keep clean sheets and both teams' attacking form, multiple goals are expected in this Championship fixture. Recommended bets include Both Teams To Score (BTTS) at 1.8 for 2 units, Over 2.5 Goals at 2.1 for 2 units, and Over 3.5 Goals at 3.8 for 1 unit. The key recommendation is to back a high-scoring match.

Key Stats - BTTS Stands Out

  • West Brom have seen over 2.5 goals in 2 consecutive matches.
  • Burnley have seen BTTS in their last 2 matches.

H2H 


West Brom have a 56-47 advantage against Burnley, alongside 34 draws.

West Brom High-Scoring Under James Morrison


James Morrison was appointed as the new West Brom boss in late April. The Baggies have scored in all seven games under Morrison and conceded six goals.

West Brom had a strong pre-season and won all four friendly matches. The Midlands side had some big victories and beat Bromley and Shrewsbury 4-1.

The Baggies carried winning momentum into the new season and thumped Rotherham 4-1 in the EFL Cup. They had 2.84 XG and 10 shots on target.

Morrison’s side extended their winning streak to six matches after defeating Norwich 2-1 in the Championship. West Brom had 1.85 XG, faced 20 shots and goals from Aune Heggebo and Jimmy-Jay Morgan secured the win. 

Burnley Are BTTS Specialists


Burnley have long-term defensive problems and haven’t kept a clean sheet in their previous 16 matches in all competitions. The Lancashire side have seen BTTS in 12 of those fixtures. 

The Clarets were winless in six pre-season games under new manager Nicky Hayen. They lost four friendlies against Cincinnati 3-1, Real Salt Lake 4-1, Ajax 2-1 and Torino 1-0.

Hayen’s team continued their winless streak into the new campaign and were held to a 1-1 EFL Cup draw with Notts County.

Burnley drew again in their Championship opener and held West Ham to a 2-2 stalemate. The Clarets had 2.09 XG and Zian Flemming scored twice in the final 15 minutes. 

Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News


West Brom (4-4-2): Max O'Leary; Nolan Galves, Nathaniel Phillips, George Campbell, Callum Styles; Harry Whitwell, Ousmane Diakite, Felix Myhre, Isaac Price; Barney Stewart, Jimmy-Jay Morgan

Aune Heggebo is suspended. West Brom confirmed the striker's suspension on Thursday in a statement and said, “Aune Heggebo will serve a two-match suspension after an appeal against a charge of misconduct was unsuccessful. 

“The 25-year-old will be unavailable for the Sky Bet Championship fixture against Burnley on Sunday and the Carabao Cup second-round tie at Newcastle United on Wednesday.”

Attacker Tammer Bany is sidelined due to a thigh injury. 

Burnley (4-2-3-1): Max Weiss; Oliver Sonne, Kyle Walker, Max Alleyne, Bashir Humphreys; Hannibal Mejbri, Ugo Raghouber; Marcus Edwards, Aaron Ramsey, Jacob Bruun Larsen; Zian Flemming

Defender Connor Roberts missed the West Ham game and is an injury doubt here. 

Attackers Ashley Barnes, Enock Agyei and Jaydon Banel are sidelined through injury. Midfielder Josh Cullen and defender Jordan Beyer are also injured and unavailable. 

Verdict

West Brom have been high-scoring in pre-season and early in the 2026/27 campaign. Burnley score a lot, struggle to keep clean sheets and goals are tipped in the Championship.
