Our prediction for this Championship match:
Following three consecutive defeats in the Championship, West Bromwich Albion will try to finish the season in great manner when they take on Preston on Matchday 46. The Baggies are one point away from booking their spot in the playoffs and they are likely to adopt a cautious approach in Saturday’s encounter. Brandon Thomas-Asante is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while both Jayson Molumby and Daryl Dike remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Lilywhites, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form in the English second tier, with the team extending their losing run to four games against Leicester City. As Preston head into the match with the lack of motivation, we are going to place our bets on the playoffs-chasing hosts. Both Alistair McCann and Ben Whiteman are injured for the visiting side, while fellow midfielder Brad Potts remains doubtful.
