Expert Betting Tips

West Brom’s record this season has been commendable, especially away from home. They have the best record on the road this season. However, Preston are without a win in their last 8 games, so I expect the visitors to avoid a defeat here. Also, I see the visitors keeping a clean sheet. Seven of the last 8 games between the two sides have seen a side keep a clean sheet.
