Preston face WBA in a clash where motivation could play a key role, as the hosts have little left to fight for while the visitors are still battling to avoid danger. As WBA want this win more than Preston, we predict a 1-0 away win. The Lilywhites come into the match after a 2-1 win over Charlton, but their overall form remains poor, with just a 20% win rate and 0.90 points per game across their last 10 outings. Defensively, they have been vulnerable, conceding 1.70 goals per match and failing to keep a single clean sheet in that run. Injuries to Lang, Lewis, and McCann further weaken their options.
WBA, despite their own injury concerns with Bany, Grant, Johnston, and Mepham sidelined, look more stable. The Baggies concede just 0.90 goals per game and keep clean sheets in 40% of matches, showing defensive discipline. Head-to-head stats strongly favor the visitors, who have won 10 of the last 15 meetings. With more at stake and a stronger defensive setup, WBA appear better positioned to edge this encounter.
Given WBA's H2H dominance and higher motivation, punters worldwide can find value in betting on Away Win, alongside WBA to Win to Nil and Under 2.5 goals (WBA’s defensive approach and low-scoring trend).
This Championship match will be played on Saturday 18 April 2026 at 15:00.
