Match Preview & Team News
There were no surprises in terms of the latest odds. WBA are tagged as big favorite to claim three points in front of home crowd at 3/4 odds. Chances for the Lilywhites to achieve the same are much lower at 4/1. Interestingly, visitors are sitting ahead in the standings right now, being four positions and two points ahead of the Baggies. Which side is going to be more successful? Read our Championship betting tips and predictions below.
Current Form And Home & Away Performances
As mentioned above, WBA have been on fire lately. Their post-World Cup campaign started with back to back victories against Sunderland and Rotherham United. They were temporarily grounded by Coventry City (lost 0-1), just to win the 4th appearance at Ashton Gate a couple of days ago against Bristol Rovers 2-0. New head manager Carlos Corberan has been doing a great job since arriving in Birmingham. The playoffs zone is now just a couple of wins away. As for the visitors, Preston are one of the most defensive teams in the entire league. Their recent form has been terrible though, suffering back to back home defeats to Queens Park Rangers and Huddersfield Town.
Goals Markets Betting Preview
Total of 25 goals were seen in Preston’s eleven games played on the road, which averages slightly under 2.5 per duel. As for WBA and games at Hawthorns, there were 27 goals in 12 duels. We feel that 2 or 3 goals bet at 1/1 feels like the most appropriate selection.
