Preston North End will host West Bromwich Albion in the 21st round of the English Championship.

Preston conceded nine goals and scored only two in their last five matches. West Bromwich collected seven points over the same period, although their performances were mixed.

Preston average 0.4 goals scored and 1.8 conceded per game, while West Bromwich post 1.4 and 1.2 respectively. With odds of 1.85 for over 2.5 and 1.89 for under 2.5, bookmakers see the line as almost even. Given Preston’s low scoring, the probability of over 2.5 goals is estimated at 42 %, under 2.5 at 58 %.

The 3.62-3.52-1.96 line marks West Bromwich as clear favourites. Considering their superior scoring and Preston’s leaky defence, West Bromwich are given a 49 % chance to win, a draw 29 %, and Preston 22 %.
