Expert Betting Tips

West Bromwich Albion are in contention for a playoff spot, which is enough to motivate them going into this game. They have won their last two home games and are unbeaten in their previous 7. Preston, however, have managed just one win in their last 10 away games. So, it will be an easy win for the host. Also, with the current trends of both sides, I don’t expect a lot of goals in this game.
