LiontipsWest Bromwich vs Preston. Prediction (odds 2.65) and bets on the Championship match
Command Analysis
Current form
West Bromwich were considered one of the main contenders for a playoff spot before the start of the season, but have not yet fully lived up to that status. With 36 points, Chris Brunt team is in eighth place in the table and is only one point behind sixth-placed Middlesbrough - there is a chance to break into the playoff zone today. In the last round, West Bromwich drew 1:1 with Sheffield United away, thus failing to win the second match in a row.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ajayi and Daryl are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- West Bromwich have won just one of their last four matches.
- West Bromwich have scored in their last seven matches
Probable line-up: Palmer - Furlong, Bartley, Heggem, Stiles - Diakite, Molumby, Fellows, Grant, Johnston - Maja.
Current form
Preston, for objective reasons, had no chance to seriously count on fighting for a playoff spot – the main task of Paul Heckingbottom’s team is to maintain their place in the Championship. So far, the “invulnerables” have no problems achieving their goal – 14th place in the table and an eight-point gap from the relegation zone allow them to feel safe. Having beaten Sheffield Wednesday 3:1 in the last round, Preston secured their second victory in a row.
Disqualifications and injuries
Siri is injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Preston have won their last two matches
- Preston have lost their last two away games to West Bromwich

2.45Tip and bets
West Bromwich after several failures in a row found themselves in eighth place in the table and of course this state of affairs cannot suit the hosts. In the confrontation with Preston, the Blackbirds will undoubtedly play only to win - the guests are seriously inferior in class and experience, regularly fail in away matches, including at The Hawthorns, it makes sense to give preference to the favorite.
We think that the visitors have no chance. Forecast - Asian handicap (-1) on West Bromwich . This bet is offered with odds of 2.65
Bet on total
West Bromwich traditionally plays aggressively in attack at home, regularly and scores a lot - Preston defense will face a very difficult test today. It is unlikely that the visitors have a chance to remain without conceding goals, the opponent is strong at home and has superiority in class. At the same time, the "invulnerables" have been scoring regularly lately, an exchange of goals is almost inevitable.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 2.09
Bet on corners
West Bromwich are the favourites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-2) on corners for West Bromwich. This bet is offered for 1.90
