Parsimonious Pulis
Over the past three seasons 68% of Tony Pulis managed wins in the league have been by a 1-0 scoreline.
If there were a public service announcement when betting on football the slogan would be ‘Think Pulis – Think 1-0. ‘
Over the past three and a bit seasons the Welsh manager has overseen 34 league victories, 23 of them by a 1-0 scoreline.
West Brom are 6/4 to beat Middlesbrough but there is little point striking that wager; if you think they are going to win take the 6/1 (William Hill) on a 1-0 victory.
West Brom and Pulis have already been at it this season, beating Crystal Palace 1-0 and against a Boro team whose strength is defence rather than attack we can see the Pulis pattern emerge again.
1pt West Brom 1-0 Middlesbrough
