Analysis West Bromwich

The home team is currently in the 8th position of the league, with 36 points won, after 8 wins, 12 draws and 4 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Derby County, by (2‑1). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Sheffield United, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses in away matches; against 5 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses at their stadium. In the last 10 home league matches West Bromwich has a record of 4 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 17 points out of 30 possible.

They haven’t lost any of the last 7 home matches for this competition. There are a few recurrent results in their home matches: at half‑time 0‑0 (6 out of 11 matches) and after the 90' 0‑0 (4 out of 11 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. 9 of their last 11 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals, so there is a tendency for few goals in their home matches. In 24 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 11 home matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 4 of their 10 goals between minutes (31'‑45').

West Bromwich Albion go into this game on the back of a one-all draw at Sheffield United: Karlan Grant scored the team's only goal. The home side are likely to play a 4-3-3 tactical system, with the aim of taking advantage of counter-attacks. Mikey Johnston, Tom Fellows and Josh Maja will be the three most advanced men. However, West Bromwich Albion are expected to adopt a more attacking stance, given that they are playing with the support of their fans. Callum Styles is out through injury, as are Daryl Dike and Semi Ajayi, both with fitness problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Alex Palmer, Darnell Furlong, Torbjörn Heggem, Kyle Bartley, Tom Fellows, Ousmane Diakité, Jayson Molumby, Callum Styles, Josh Maja, Michael Johnston, Karlan Grant.
Coach: S. Bruce.

Analysis Preston

The away team is currently in the 14th position of the league, with 29 points won, after 6 wins, 11 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Hull City, by (1‑0). In the last match, they won in a home match against Sheffield Wednesday, by (3‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 22 goals scored and 21 conceded; against 6 wins, 7 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 18 goals scored and 13 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Preston has a record of 1 win, 5 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 8 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 24 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Preston North End go into this game on the back of a 3-1 win at Sheffield Wednesday, with Emil Riis (2) and Sam Greenwood scoring the goals. The away side is expected to play a 3-5-2 tactical system, with the aim of using the side runs to invest in the attacking process. Emil Riis and Sam Greenwood should be the two most advanced men in this formation. The away side are known for their excellent counter-attacks, and they have some very competent players in this area. Mads Frøkjaer-Jensen is out of the game through injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Freddie Woodman, Kaine Kessler, Jack Whatmough, Liam Lindsay, Jordan Storey, Mads Frokjaer-Jensen, Alistair McCann, Stefán Þórðarson, Josh Bowler, Sam Greenwood, Emil Riis.
Coach: R. Lowe.
