Preston vs West Bromwich Preview
After suffering a heavy 4-1 defeat to Wrexham at the weekend, Preston will be desperate to put an end to their three-game losing run when they face WBA on Saturday afternoon. The Lilywhites have looked vulnerable throughout the campaign, particularly on home soil, where they have suffered four defeats in their first five Championship matches. Midfielder Stanley Mills returns from suspension, offering a welcome boost, but Preston must improve significantly at both ends of the pitch after scoring just 0.60 goals per home game and conceding 2.00.
West Bromwich Albion, meanwhile, will be looking to make it three consecutive victories after impressive wins over Wrexham and Blackburn. The Baggies have found their attacking rhythm and are likely to stick with their positive approach, although Toby Collyer’s serious injury is a setback. Ousman Diakite is expected to step up after producing an excellent display against Blackburn. West Brom have scored in 80% of their last 10 matches and have won 40% of their recent away fixtures.
Given West Brom’s renewed confidence, the visitors look well placed to take something from this encounter. As the Baggies have also won 11 of the last 16 meetings between the sides, Away Win, Over 1.5 goals and WBA DNB bets are worth considering.
This Championship match will be played on Saturday, 24 October 2026 at 15:00.
