Their latest results highlight the fact that not much more can be done by the West Bromwich Albion defence. West Bromwich Albion have kept it tight, resulting in the number of goals that have gone in at their end during their last 6 matches standing at 2. That trend won’t necessarily be carried forward here, of course.

Coming into this fixture, Preston North End are unbeaten in their previous 2 away league matches.
I am of the view that Preston North End will surely be able to put one past this West Bromwich Albion team, however it probably shouldn’t be enough to prevent defeat.
I am anticipating a 2-1 winning margin for West Bromwich Albion by the time that the referee blows the final whistle. I’ll have to see what happens.
