West Bromwich Albion and Cardiff City will collide on Tuesday evening at The Hawthorns. Both teams are hopeful to advance into the playoff zone, implying an intriguing contest ahead. West Bromwich lost the chance of a victory in the recent duel with Ipswich and is determined to compensate this time.
Daryl Dike suffered an Achilles' injury in the match against Ipswich and will be sidelined for a long period. In the same game, Kyle Bartley got off the pitch at half-time, which may indicate an injury. The Baggies have been performing admirably at home, claiming victories in the last four matches whilst only conceding one goal. Much will depend on Brandon Toma-Asante, who has seamlessly stepped into the role of the main man in the attack. Grady Diangana returned to England from the African Cup of Nations.
Aaron Ramsey has returned from injury and has already managed to sub in the match against Preston. Mentioned, there are chances he would feature in the starting eleven, after staying off for four months. Fresh recruits, namely Josh Bowler and Navixh Whitlam, will make the substitute roster. Injury to Mark McGinness's Achilles tendon gives Nyto Phillips the opportunity to continue as the central defender.
West Brom demonstrated impressive performance against Ipswich and looks strong at home. The team's lineup is well-coordinated and ready to push for the result, hence, a victory for the home team seems like the most logical choice.
