Preston vs West Brom Prediction
Preston will be aiming to halt their three-game losing run against their West Midlands visitors. But their patchy form means that confidence could be low in Paul Heckingbottom's side.
West Brom started the season in emphatic fashion with a six-game unbeaten streak, winning five games. This saw them set the early pace in the race for automatic promotion but their hopes have been dashed in recent weeks and they have fallen out of the playoff spots. Carlos Corberan's side are unbeaten in their last nine games but this stat is a bit misleading as eight games in this sequence have ended in draws.
West Brom's inability to convert stalemates into wins has hampered their promotion aspirations and Corberan will be looking to find a solution to this issue. We are backing the two sides to cancel each other out in a goalless draw.
Prediction: Preston 0-0 West Brom
