WBA vs WOL Dream11: All sporting eyes within the Black Country will be focused on the Hawthorns ahead of this fierce local derby between West Brom and Wolves. The hosts will be looking to complete a derby double over Nuno Espirito Santo’s side after beating Wolves 2-3 at Molineux back in January, whilst the visitors are hoping to secure a first win at the home of their biggest rivals since 1996. Only a win will do for West Brom in their failing bid for survival and they may not get a better chance to secure a fourth straight victory against a Wolves side off the back of an embarrassing 0-4 home defeat at the hands of Burnley. Sam Allardyce’s men therefore have little choice but prioritise all-out attack and this is likely to lead to an entertaining affair.
Date: 3 May, Monday Time: 10:30 PM (IST) Venue: The Hawthorns, West Bromwich Watch A League Live Streaming: No official streaming in India.

Likely Winner:
West Brom will be forced to push forward and look for the victory, but we are struggling to back them against a Wolves side that is full of talent despite their issues this term. It would not be a surprise to see either a home or an away win on Monday night, but we have ultimately settled on a low-scoring draw.
