West Brom vs Preston North End Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Nella Wagah in Championship Predictions
A run of uninspiring results have pushed West Bromwich Albion off the top six but they’ll be vying for a return this Wednesday. The Baggies will be at home to Preston North End on New Year’s Day and below is our prediction for the match.
After winning just a point from six on offer in the last two matches, West Brom are a point below the promotion playoff spots. A win here and favorable results elsewhere would lift them back into the top six.
However, carrying just a win in four league matches could leave a dent on their confidence. Chris Brunt’s charges can seek inspiration from a seven-match unbeaten home run.
With West Brom only winning twice in those seven home matches, Preston will be confident of getting something here. The Invincibles have lost just once in nine matches but that run has only three wins.
Two of those three wins came in the most recent outings. Paul Heckingbottom’s side closed 2024 business with a 3-1 win at home to Sheffield Wednesday.
Having played two straight home matches, they’ll be looking to win a second away game in 11 matches. Also, they drew five times in their last 10 away matches.
