Exclusive: Carlos Corberan Drops Bombshell Confession Before Crucial Southampton Showdown
The Baggies and Saints, who were fifth and fourth in the second division, respectively, square off in a two-leg semifinal match that kicks off at The Hawthorns on Sunday afternoon.
Southampton was one of just three teams to defeat Albion this season and finished 12 points ahead of Corberan’s team.
Russell Martin’s Saints fell seven points short of automatic promotion, but they did close out the regular season with a thrilling 2-1 victory away at Leeds, who will play Norwich in the other semi-final.
Before Sunday’s opening leg in the Black Country, Corberan declared, “They are favorites without a doubt because they finished in a position better than our position.”
