Preston vs West Brom Prediction: The visitors will avoid a loss

LDLDD

Preston have been experiencing a difficult run this season, playing a goalless draw in their last game against Stoke. They have now gone seven games without a win in the league. They are winless in their last 4 home games. They sit 19th on the table with 17 points in 17 games, scoring 16 goals and conceding 24. Meanwhile, Freddie Woodman (suspension), Liam Lindsay (knock injury), Robert Brady (ankle injury), Ched Evans (phy discomfort), and Patrick Bauer (elbow injury) are all out of this game.

West Brom continued their unbeaten run in their last game with a goalless draw against Sunderland. They have remained unbeaten in their last 9 games, with 8 draws and a win. They sit 7th on the table with 27 points in 17 games, scoring 18 goals and conceding 11. They have the best away form in the league, with 16 points in 9 games. Meanwhile, Semi Ajayi (leg injury), Patrick McNair (hamstring), and Daryl Dike (Achilles tendon) are out of this game.

Preston — David Cornell, Jordan Storey, Jack Whatmough, Andrew Hughes, Brad Potts, Stefán Teitur Thórdarson, Ben Whiteman, Duane Holmes, Kaine Kesler-Hayden, Sam Greenwood, Emil Riis Jakobsen.

West Brom — Alex Palmer, Darnell Furlong, Kyle Bartley, Mason Holgate, Torbjørn Heggem, Jayson Molumby, Alex Mowatt, Tom Fellows, John Swift, Karlan Grant, Josh Maja.

West Brom’s record this season has been commendable, especially away from home. They have the best record on the road this season. However, Preston are without a win in their last 8 games, so I expect the visitors to avoid a defeat here. Also, I see the visitors keeping a clean sheet. Seven of the last 8 games between the two sides have seen a side keep a clean sheet.
