Championship Best Bets: Lampard to make winning start and five more tips for Saturday's 3pm KOs | OneFootball

EFL Championship

Jack is backing Frank Lampard to win his first match as Coventry manager

A frantic week of Championship action continues with six games at 3pm on Saturday afternoon. Jack Critchley has picked out a best bet from each of these fixtures...

Preston vs West Brom

Baggies to take at least a point

Preston are winless in seven matches. The Lilywhites haven't won since returning from the October international break, and the goals have also started to dry up throughout November. Paul Heckingbottom's side have scored just three goals in their last five outings, and the home fans have had very little to cheer in recent weeks.

It's worth mentioning that the hosts aren't always easy to beat on their own patch with only two teams leaving this venue with maximum points so far. Heckingbottom has praised his side for limiting the opposition, yet they need to start showing a little more adventure in the final third.

West Brom survived an onslaught to take a point away from the Stadium of Light on Tuesday night. Carlos Corberan's side are back on their travels and they will be confident of taking at least a point back to the Midlands. The Spaniard was pleased with his side's mentality, yet he bemoaned their lack of cutting edge in the final third.

The visitors have lost suffered just a single defeat on the road so far, yet they've drawn four of their last five. They will keep things tight and, having kept three clean sheets in seven away fixtures, they should be able to escape with something to show for their efforts.
