West Bromwich vs. Preston: preview and betting tips

In addition to the Africa Cup of Nations, the English Championship is also being played on Wednesday. West Bromwich will welcome Preston to their stadium and if they win, they can get closer to the second place.

West Bromwich won this weekend after four rounds, beating Peterborough 3-0. They jumped up to fifth in the table, four points behind third-placed Bournemouth. On the other hand, they are only three points clear of eighth place.

Preston are not in ideal form either. He has only two points from the last three rounds, which has dropped him to fifteenth place. They don’t have to worry about relegation yet, but on the other hand they are not even in the top six of the play-offs.

The home team is led by striker Karlan Grant, who has scored ten goals and assisted four times. Irish international Callum Robinson is the court assistant, with eight goal assists and five shots.

Emile Riis is firing it up in a Preston jersey, the young Danish striker has scored nine league goals and assisted on three. Central midfielder Ben Whiteman has four goals and three assists.

West Bromwich rely on a solid defence and have the best in the Championship. They have only conceded twenty goals, on the other hand they have scored thirty four times, the second lowest number of the top 10 in the league.

Preston’s attack hasn’t worked since the beginning of the year, they have scored more than one goal in only one of their last four games, once they even came out goalless.

Considering the good atmosphere in the home squad after the big win, I think West Bromwich will win again in front of their own fans.
