Preston North End vs West Bromwich Albion Match Analysis and Prediction

2 years ago 442

Both Preston and West Brom will be looking returning to winning ways when they face off at the Deepdale in their Championship Matchday 13 tie on Wednesday night.

Both sides have endured sluggish starts to their Championship campaigns with Preston winning just two of their 11 matches, while West Brom have won just once in just as much games.

Preston have drawn seven times and lost twice in the process and currently sit 14^th on 13 points in the league standings, three points above West Brom who have also drawn seven times but lost three times in the run. West Brom, though sit in the 21^st place in the league standings, level on points with Middlesbrough who are in the relegation zone.

Preston drew 0-0 with Sunderland last time out, extending their winless run to four matches in the league, while West Brom fell to a 3-2 home defeat Swansea City in their previous league fixture, extending their winless run to six matches in the Championship.

Therefore both sides will be looking to return to winning ways on Wednesday night as Preston hope to climb into the top half of the table and increase the gap between them and their visitors, who on the other hand will want to reduce the gap and climb away from the relegation zone.

West Brom have the edge in the head to head record in this fixture, but Preston won 2-0 last time the two met in a league encounter and they will be hoping for the a similar result on Wednesday night.
