West Brom vs Cardiff odds: 20/1 outsider Aden Flint tipped to score first at Hawthorns

Unbeaten in seven matches but Cardiff City face arguably their toughest opponent as they face third-place West Brom.

The Bluebirds face a Slaven Bilic side who will be fired up after suffering their first defeat of the season away to Leeds United.

The Pools spoke with WalesOnline's Glen Williams:

Recommended bets:

  • Aden Flint to score first - 20/1
  • West Brom to win - 15/2

Win, lose or draw? (Brief score prediction and why)

West Brom 2-1 Cardiff City. Cardiff are unbeaten in seven league games, but I just feel this will be their undoing. The Baggies have started the season tremendously well and, at home, it could prove too much for the Bluebirds.

Who’s a good bet for 1st scorer?

Aden Flint ( 20/1 ). Cardiff are likely to sit deep and go gung-ho for set pieces. Sean Morrison scored on Wednesday but it could be his centre back partner's turn this weekend.

Who’s on the naughty step?

Joe Bennett. Two yellows so far this season and struggled against the pace of Bright Osayi-Samuel in midweek.

Who’s on pens?

Robert Glatzel. He is 11/5 anytime .

Will you keep a clean sheet? (ie is both teams to score a good bet!)

No ( 2/13 ). The defence is much improved in recent weeks, but West Brom have been in fine form and I'd expect them to score.
