Bournemouth vs West Bromwich Albion Prediction and Betting Tips | January 11th 2025

Bournemouth will face West Bromwich Albion at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday in the third round of the 2024-25 FA Cup. The home side are in superb form at the moment and will now break from their Premier League assignments this weekend as they turn their attention to cup football.

They locked horns with Queens Park Rangers in their cup opener last season and picked up a brilliant 3-2 comeback victory featuring second-half strikes from Marcus Tavernier, Kieffer Moore and Justin Kluivert.

West Bromwich Albion meanwhile have had mixed results under interim boss Chris Brunt following the departure of head coach Carlos Corberan last month. They played out a 1-1 draw against Swansea City in their last match despite looking set to be headed towards maximum points following Tom Fellows' second-half strike, before their opponents leveled the scores in additional time.

The Baggies have advanced past the third round of the FA Cup in each of the last two seasons and will now be looking to test their mettle against top-flight opposition this weekend.
