The Baggies are on the up
A run of six wins across the last eight rounds under Carlos Corberan means that West Brom’s earlier flirtation with the relegation places is firmly in the rear view mirror.
The visit of Preston shouldn’t cause too much stress either considering that the Lilywhites enter this in some pretty tragic form, having lost three of their last four league encounters.
West Brom have lost each of their last three year ending league fixtures, though that is pure consequence and they should realistically have enough firepower to justify their favouritism against fellow promotion hopefuls Preston.
Stick with the hosts
Heading into this on the back of three straight home wins ‘to nil’, West Brom are simply a side that seep confidence at the minute. On the other hand, Preston have scored six times across their last two away games, although they’ve won here only once since the start of this century.
Only Sheffield United have picked up more away points than Preston’s 21 this season, so the home win is certainly not a given. However, questionable overall form and a tendency to fall away at a certain stage of the season suggests that the value could be in backing against Preston this time.
To complete our selections, we’re going for a tentative 2-0 home win in the correct score market, a result which would keep West Brom’s defensive solidity alive.
