AI-Modelled Form (Last 6 Fixtures):

• Preston have endured a difficult run — 1 win, 0 draws, and 5 losses in their last 6. Their only win was over Stoke (3-1), which now looks like an anomaly. Losses to Norwich (0-2), Coventry (0-3), Oxford (1-3), and Millwall (0-2 away) show a side lacking quality in all departments. They've been overrun consistently and have managed just 5 goals in 6 games. A side in freefall.
• West Brom have 2 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss in 6 — a steady if unspectacular run. Wins over Bristol City (1-0) and Hull (3-0) show their quality when focused, and draws with Wrexham (2-2), Southampton, and Sheffield United demonstrate resilience against strong opposition. Their only loss was to Oxford (1-2). West Brom are a consistent, experienced side who don't lose often.
• Preston's form is among the worst in the division right now — 5 losses in 6 — while West Brom are unbeaten in 4. West Brom's experience and quality should be more than enough to take all three points at a Preston side showing no signs of recovery.
