Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

We are anticipating a game with little to choose between the sides here and, as such, our prediction is under 2.5 goals. For those unfamiliar with that term, this simply means that 2 goals or fewer will be scored in total as Preston and West Brom go head-to-head. Tight defences and clear heads will be required to deliver us a winner, but we trust both sides to deliver precisely that. The statistics and the odds below suggest it's a sound bet too.
