West Bromwich hosts Preston in round 35 of the English Championship. The match will be played on Tuesday, February 25th at The Hawthorns (West Bromwich)
It seems that West Bromwich finally settled at the top of the standings and will not lose its first place. I don’t know if it is so important for Bilic - the return to the Premier League will be the main thing. The Throstles are already nine points ahead of the third place and if they do not repeat their winless streak of seven matches, there won’t be any doubt about the overall victory of the hosts. The team consistently scores two goals in almost every round and is the leader in terms of the goals scored in the Championship. And it plays from a position of strength at home, not really caring about defense. The victory of the Throstles? Of course. But they give the same coefficient for two goals scored, and why should we wait for 90 minutes of the match? Besides, many things depend on the opponent...

Preston is a purely home team. Yes, it is in excellent shape, and it gained three away victories in a row, but, in fairness, those victories were above the representatives of the bottom of the standings. The home defeat to Millwall and a very hard fight with the drowning Hull City makes us again talk about the crisis in the game of Alex Neal's men. In away matches, Preston concedes an average of a little more than a goal and doesn’t know how to put up a decent rebuff to the leaders.
Only one thing remains incomprehensible. The hosts’ attack works like clockwork, scoring at least twice in five rounds in a row. But bookmakers offer such a big coefficient for the victory of West Bromwich. And the rival again complicated the struggle for getting into the playoff zone. With all the shortcomings of West Bromwich in defense, this team just plays its football. Preston can count only on luck. Two goals of the leader look quite logical.
Prediction for the match: West Bromwich to score over 1.5 goals
