WEST BROMWICH ALBION - CARDIFF CITY


The Albion bandwagon continues on it's merry way, one loss in 16 starts since late November and in the quarter final draw for the FA Cup.


However, it is the goals "for" column that really takes the eye. WBA have scored in each of their last 17, with 34 strikes in the last 14, notching 2 or more in 11 of those.


Senegalese striker Diomansy Kamara, is in wonderful form, with 20 goals this season, including 8 in the last 7 matches.


Albion showed their potential in the 2-2 draw with Middlesbrough at the weekend, where they outplayed the Premiership side, for significant periods of the game.


Boss Tony Mowbray, has a fully fit squad to choose from, with the exception of the banned, Curtis Davies.


Visitors Cardiff, have no such luxuries, they are without 3 suspended players, including key starters, Simon Walton and top scorer Michael Chopra, who has scored 7 of City's last 10 goals, plus maybe 3 others, who face late fitness tests.


Forget the cup, promotion and the vast riches it will bring next season, is what really matters to West Brom. Expect a comfortable win, from a talented home side.


5 points WBA -1/2 ball 1.67 general quote.


Back shortly.
