Barnsley - Preston North End betting tips and odds

Barnsley will have to fight an uphill battle to win this match. They are the underdogs of the matchup – though Preston North End don’t have a huge advantage. Still, with the 3.10 odds on a home win, things may get a bit dicey.

The Lilywhites have their work cut out for them this Saturday. Most bookmakers online see them as the stronger team, made evident by the 2.45 betting odds for an away win. That’s a fairly slim advantage, though.

Last time out in the Championship, an early first-half time goal seemed to have stunned Barnsley and they were ultimately unable to recover. In the end, they suffered a devastating 45 home defeat they will be determined to bounce back from this Saturday.

Preston did not fare too well previous home game against Blackburn Rovers. They weren’t really expected to win due to a slightly unfavourable match-up, but Blackburn Rovers completely outplayed them, leading to a 1:4 loss.

Experts have pointed at Barnsley’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 6 goals over the last 3 Championship games.

Preston’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 8 of them in their previous 3 matches, to be exact. While it’s obvious their defence has a lot of problems, Over markets might be a good option for this match.

The bookies see the away team as more likely to win this game, partly based on an earlier match played between them and Barnsley. Playing as the home tea, Preston North End secured a solid victory and 3 more points for the tally. The conditions are somewhat less favourable this time, but they could still be able to come out on top.

Fortunately, none of the teams’ players has been injured or suspended recently. With their full lineups at their disposal, we’re in for an exciting match.

A Draw No Bet market with Away Win selected is easily the best course of action here. By removing a tie as a possibility, we can feel more confident in the success of the bet, but the 1.67 odds did not take a big hit.
