Derby County - Preston North End betting tips and odds

Derby County have their work cut out for them if they want to beat Preston North End. They are widely considered to be the weaker team – though the difference is not huge, to be fair. Overall, it’s shaping up to be an exciting showdown.

While Preston may manage to claw their way to a win yet, it will be quite a struggle. As we can see thanks to the 2.85 betting odds for an away win, the odds are stacked against them – though it’s still manageable.

The home side are coming off from a Coventry City draw which could have easily been a defeat. Namely, The Rams were trailing at halftime and had to roll up their sleeves to salvage a point after the break.

Preston are coming on the back of a harsh 4:0 away defeat. Their opponents TEAM_NAME were hard favourites, and Preston never managed to recover from the early lead the home team took.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

Derby may be the favourites in this matchup, but they’ve yet to prove they can conclusively defeat Preston this season. They had several opportunities to do so, and all ended with a tied result.

The 1.60 offered for Under 2.5 Goals bets in this match may seem a bit risky considering the market, but they’re well worth it compared to the probability of the outcome. That said, it’s a solid choice for value, but not necessarily safety.
