Albion’s Premier League Season Comparison – 28 games

With half of their remaining games against teams above them in the table, it may not be that easy for Albion to reach the 50 point mark.

Albion have picked up just one point from the nine games against teams in the current top seven, but the other five matches include tricky away trips to Watford, Burnley and Swansea.

In 2012/13, Albion also had 40 points from 28 games, but they were two goals better off than the current side. Game 29 saw them beat Swansea 2-1 at the Hawthorns, a result that proved to be their last home win of the season.
