Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

There is 80% chance of West Brom and Preston no more than 3 goals combined during this Championship game according to our predictive algorithm and, in the absense of a strong favourite in the win draw win market, we think that's where the smart money should go. Our calculations are made based on recent form, historical head-to-head (H2H) statistics and the view of the betting market, and you can back it at 1.33.

Goal Statistics

West Bromwich Albion's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday lunch time, not least because Preston North End have conceded in each of their last 5 Championship outings. A PG of 1.5 for Carlos Corberan's side suggests that run should continue.

Scoring more than 1 goal looks unlikely for Preston North End, with Ryan Lowe's men failing to score in 4 consecutive Championship matches.
