West Bromwich Albion - Preston North End betting tips and odds

West Bromwich Albion are easily the favourites in the match this Thursday, but we wouldn’t call a Home Win bet at the odds of 1.82 safe, exactly. They are more likely to win than not, but Preston North End may have a few tricks up their sleeve yet.

With a matchup like this, it seems like we already know the outcome. The Lilywhites stand little chance of achieving anything except an appearance. Most bookies price an away win for this match at 5.00, marking an insurmountable difference.

The victory WBA recorded last round was expected, but few tipsters saw their dominating performance coming. Despite playing away, they started strong and were already leading by halftime, eventually locking down a 0:2 victory and a great boost to the team’s confidence.

It’s easy to see quite a lot of issues with Preston’s current form. Take their last home game against Huddersfield Town as an example: they secured an early lead and proceeded to fumble it away, resulting in a 1:2 home defeat. Hopefully, they’ll be able to keep up the pace this time.

The previous 3 times we saw WBA play at home were marked by more than 5 goals from them. The visitors will need to be careful if they want to avoid conceding a lot of goals.

Looking over their most recent appearances, Preston have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net. The past 3 home games saw them concede over 5 times.

WBA previously played this match as the visitors in a previous round of the Championship and suffered a fairly narrow defeat. Most bookies believe things will end differently this time, pricing a home win at 1.82.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Thursday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
