West Bromwich Albion - Preston North End betting tips and odds

The home team is the obvious choice for anyone looking to bet on favourites. The match is not completely one-sided, though, which is why you may actually get worthwhile returns.

The situation is crystal clear from the current perspective. Given the strength of the home team and the fact Preston North End are given 5.50 betting odds to win, a conclusion is not difficult to reach. Anything but a home win would be an incredible surprise.

West Bromwich Albion strolled into a relatively easy 3:0 victory against Peterborough United in the last round. Their fans at The Hawthorns were treated to an uneventful showing in the first half followed by complete dominance in the second.

Preston North End went into their previous Championship match as clear underdogs, yet managed to keep the score even in the first half. Their opponents Swansea City scored the deciding goal in the second half, though, resulting in a narrow away loss for The Lilywhites.

WBA are going through a string of uneventful away matches. The last two both had one goal or fewer, so fans are hoping for a bit more excitement at The Hawthorns.

This matchup has been consistently ending in a draw throughout the current season. WBA played against The Lilywhites on several occasions in multiple different competitions, and never managed to gain the upper hand despite being considered favourites.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

At the odds of 1.68, the match will likely end in a Home Win. The probability of success is the most important factor here, and all signs are pointing towards a triumph for The Baggies.
