WEST BROMWICH ALBION - PRESTON NORTH END


Think I will stick with Albion. Both of these two promotion chasing sides are happier at home and not too many teams leave the Hawthorns, with anything to show for their endeavours.

Only Norwich City have taken maximum points, in a narrow 1-0 win, that was a travesty of justice, the home side hitting the woodwork SIX times !

WBA's total of 26 home goals, is only bettered by Colchester and they have fantastic competion for places up front. With Hartson, Phillips, Kamara, Gera and Ellington, all Premiership quality strikers, looking to start.

Most teams come here looking to defend, PNE recently went to Birmingham, tried to force the game and lost heavily. Hopefully, they will attempt the same tactics today, if so, we should see a similar outcome. Few sides will beat Albion, one of the division's classier outfits, by playing attacking football, as they will tear you apart. Preston have won here just once in twenty visits and are unlikely to improve upon that dismal record today.

4 points WBA -1/4 ball asian line 1.86.

Good Luck.
