Southampton v West Brom stats and head-to-head record (H2H)

Southampton have enjoyed plenty of success over West Brom in recent times, winning seven, drawing one and losing one of their last nine meetings.

Russell Martin’s men have recorded a league double over the Baggies this season, with a 2-1 home success followed by a 2-0 victory at The Hawthorns in February.

The Saints had been unbeaten in five home matches prior to their final St Mary’s game of the regular season, when they lost 1-0 to Stoke City.

West Brom head to the South Coast having failed to win any of their last four away games and having won just six league fixtures on the road this term.

In three meetings this season, the Baggies have only managed one goal against Southampton, scored by veteran centre-back Kyle Bartley.
