Burnley - Preston North End betting tips and odds

It’s easy to point out Burnley as the clear favourites, but we wouldn’t call this match completely one-sided. The hosts are definitely more likely to win between the two, but a tie game is another possibility. An away win would be quite a surprise, but we’ve seen bigger upsets.

With a price of 7.00 on an away win among most online sportsbooks, it’s clear Preston North End will likely not fare well against Burnley. Even a draw seems to be too optimistic for the away team.

Burnley’s supporters are hoping for a repeat of their previous outing. The travelling fans witnessed a decisive 0:3 victory against Norwich City , who were considered favourites before kick-off and there is no doubt Burnley will be quite confident heading into this game.

Preston were slight favourites at odds of 2.45 for their previous home match, but that didn’t seem to matter in the end. They lost 1:2 to Bristol City after some concessions in the first half that they never managed to overcome.

The home team gives their opponents plenty of reasons to worry about the upcoming fixture. They’re on something of a streak with 5 goals scored over the last 3 matches.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 Championship engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

The home team had several opportunities to beat Preston North End this season, yet never managed to get anything other than a draw. They’re still considered the favourites, though, and the home-field advantage might be just what they need to break the stalemate.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Saturday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

If you’re feeling confident, a Draw/Home wager in the Half Time/Full Time market is the way to go. It’s a fairly risky move, but likely the best way to get some value out of the match this Saturday.
