Preston North End have met West Bromwich Albion several times recently, and almost every time it was the away side that came away with the result. This time the picture is quite different, because Preston are sinking at the bottom of the table while West Bromwich Albion are in the upper group. Preston have lost 3 in a row, and the defence is clearly the problem. They have conceded 24 goals in 11 league games, while West Bromwich Albion have won their last two matches, but both wins were by a single goal (2-1 and 3-2), not a thrashing. The game is likely to see West Bromwich Albion as the side pushing forward, because they have more possession and more shots on target in the last 10 games, while Preston will probably sit back and wait for counter-attacking chances, which is the way the game stays close and ends competitively.
