EFL Championship strugglers Preston North End have their task cut out on matchday 12 when they face an ambitious West Brom side on Saturday. This match at the Deepdale between the 24th-placed ‘Lilywhites’ and the 5th-placed ‘Baggies’ could put more pressure on the home side, and our match prediction is an away win.
Preston have four points (W1, D1, L9) and started this round rooted to the bottom with a gap of five points to safety. West Brom have 20 points (W6, D2, L3) and are only three points behind the leaders, while they are out of the top four on goal difference.
Preston were beaten 4-1 away at Wrexham last weekend to continue their poor recent record. They have lost five of their last six league games (D1) since their only win of the league campaign early in September.
That victory came at home, but the ‘Lilywhites’ followed it up with back-to-back defeats against Lincoln City and Millwall.
West Brom edged Blackburn 3-2 at home last weekend to make it consecutive victories in the league. This sequence has helped them to bounce back from a three-game winless run (D1, L2) and keep them in the hunt for a top six finish.
Their away form is still indifferent, though, as the Baggies have alternated wins and losses in five league trips (W3, L2).
