Preston North End West Bromwich AlbionNo absentees
Our Preston North End vs West Bromwich Albion predictions see a struggling home side running into a promotion-chasing visitor, as rock-bottom Preston host fifth-placed West Brom in a Championship clash loaded with contrasting fortunes. Kick-off at Deepdale is 3pm on Saturday.
Preston have taken just four points from 11 games and arrive on the back of a 4-1 battering at Wrexham, while West Brom sit fifth on 20 points and have won four of the last five meetings between the pair. The gap in form could hardly be wider as the sides meet at Deepdale at 3pm on Saturday.
Anthony Eadson has gone through the odds and the numbers for the best bets below, with Albion’s away solidity and Preston’s leaky home record shaping his thinking.
Premium Tips
Preston sit bottom on four points, while West Brom travel in fifth. Anthony Eadson sees few goals at Deepdale and leans on Albion’s away resilience for his two selections.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| West Bromwich Albion To Win To Nil | 5/2 (Sky Bet) | West Brom have kept two clean sheets this season and conceded only six goals across five away games, strong numbers against a Preston side who have scored just four times at Deepdale and failed to score on four occasions. Albion sit fifth on 20 points and won the corresponding fixture here 2-0 last April. Rock-bottom Preston have not kept a single clean sheet in 11 games, so backing the visitors to win without reply appeals at 5/2. A recent 2-1 success at Wrexham showed Albion can deliver on the road, and we expect them to keep the hosts quiet again. |
| Isaac Price to score anytime | 13/5 (Ladbrokes) | Isaac Price has scored in each of West Bromwich Albion’s last two games and has four Championship goals this season, two of them penalties. Preston North End are bottom of the table, have not kept a clean sheet in 11 games and have conceded 24 goals, nine of them in five home matches. Albion have scored in nine of their 11 league games, so Price should get chances from midfield. Ladbrokes’ 13/5 on him scoring at any time pairs well with our win-to-nil pick. |

How Preston North End go into the game
Preston prop up the Championship on four points, with just one win and one draw from 11 games and a daunting goal difference of minus 15. Last time out they lost 4-1 at Wrexham, and that followed a 4-0 loss at Birmingham and a 1-0 home defeat to Millwall. A 2-2 draw at QPR is their only recent respite.
Home form offers little comfort either. Preston have won just one of five at Deepdale, scoring only four goals and conceding nine, and they are yet to keep a clean sheet all season. With the play-off places a distant thought, survival is the immediate concern for a side that has been shut out four times.
How West Bromwich Albion go into the game
West Brom travel to Deepdale in fifth place on 20 points, firmly in the promotion mix after six wins from 11. They go into the game in form, having beaten Blackburn 3-2 at home last time out and won 2-1 at Wrexham before that, either side of narrow 1-0 defeats to Birmingham and Wolves.
Crucially for this trip, Albion have been tough to break down away from home, winning three of five on the road and conceding only six goals in those games. Isaac Price leads the scoring with four, and with two clean sheets to their name this season, the visitors look equipped to grind out a result against a vulnerable Preston.
Preston North End vs West Bromwich Albion head-to-head
| Date | Home | Score | Away |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18/04/26 | Preston North End | 0-2 | West Bromwich Albion |
| 18/10/25 | West Bromwich Albion | 2-1 | Preston North End |
| 01/01/25 | West Bromwich Albion | 3-1 | Preston North End |
| 30/11/24 | Preston North End | 1-1 | West Bromwich Albion |
| 04/05/24 | West Bromwich Albion | 3-0 | Preston North End |
West Brom have had the wood on Preston in recent seasons, winning four of the last five league meetings. That includes a 2-0 success at Deepdale last April and earlier wins of 3-1 and 3-0, with a 1-1 draw in November 2024 the only time Preston avoided defeat. The visitors will fancy continuing that run.
