West Brom have played both home and away twice in the Championship this season.

The Baggies opened their campaign away at Loftus Road, winning 3-1 against QPR, before playing to a goalless draw against Leeds United. West Brom then secured an away win against Stoke City, before going into the international break with a win against Swansea City.

WBA in their two away matches have taken a four-figure away following. A total of 3,044 supporters were at the Bet365 Stadium, and when West Brom were at QPR, there were approximately 1,760 away fans in attendance. The two trips to Staffordshire and to West London might not be that much of a journey, but it's still good to see Carlos Corberan's men backed well on their travels.

A trip to Portsmouth follows after the international break, with the match played on Sunday, September 15, because it's been chosen by Sky Sports for broadcast. An allocation of 2,171 has been given for the trip down to the South Coast, and tickets start at £6 for a child aged between two to 13 years old and then £28 for an adult. 

With just two away games played, West Brom have an average of 2,371 and that actually puts them in the top six for the highest average. Here is a look at how their away attendance so far this season compares to their rivals...
