Preston North End — West Bromwich Albion: Win probabilities, 24.10.2026

Preston North End face a difficult challenge against West Bromwich Albion, with the visitors holding a clear advantage in overall form and league position. Preston North End sit 24th in the Championship with just 4 points from 11 matches, while West Bromwich Albion occupy 6th place with 20 points from the same number of games. The contrast is also evident in recent results: Preston North End have lost four of their last five matches, scoring only 3 goals and conceding 12. West Bromwich Albion have collected two wins and a draw over their last five games, with 6 goals scored and 6 conceded, suggesting a more balanced level of performance.

Home advantage may offer Preston North End some support, but their record at their own ground remains a concern. They have won only one of five home matches, losing four and conceding 9 goals. West Bromwich Albion have won three of their five away fixtures, scoring 6 goals, although their tendency to allow more chances than they create could leave room for the hosts to respond. The head-to-head record further favours the visitors, who have won five of the last six meetings, including a 2-0 victory in 2026. Overall, West Bromwich Albion have a slight but convincing edge, with a moderately open contest and a draw remaining a plausible outcome.
