Match Analysis
West Brom arrive with an encouraging away record of three wins from their last five outings, whereas Preston have struggled significantly at home with just a solitary victory in that same span. The Lilywhites have found the net in three of their last five matches but have failed to keep a clean sheet during that period. Preston face potential selection issues with three players out and two doubtful, while West Brom have two confirmed absences but no doubts remaining for their squad. West Brom rate stronger on form, attack, defence and head-to-head. West Brom won the most recent meeting 2-0 on 18 April 2026, having won 4 of the last 5 encounters to Preston's 0, with 1 ending level; the fixture has averaged 2.8 goals per meeting. The market has remained broadly steady over the 4-day comparison window, with little change in either side's implied win probability. The overall statistical comparison gives West Brom a strong edge.
