Preston North End - Middlesbrough predictions

The visiting team knows the task they face will not be easy. Beating Preston North End on their own turf would be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

Despite playing away, Middlesbrough are more likely to win this showdown than the hosts. It’s not a done deal, of course. Considering the betting odds for an away win are set at 2.50, we’re in for a close game.

The home side suffered a slim defeat last time in the Championship. They played away from their home and returned with a one-goal deficit Portsmouth defeat. Having conceded early on they never got a chance to get back on their feet.

Middlesbrough went into their previous match against Sheffield United with a slight edge in form and home-field advantage, resulting in a comfortable and somewhat predictable 1:0 home win.

The Lilywhites’s past two matches only feature a goal or less each. As such, you may want to consider an Under 2.5 bet – or even Under 1.5, if you’re feeling confident.

With 6 goals in their previous 3 Championship matches, Middlesbrough boast some of the most prolific strikers of the league. Top online bookies are predicting another action-packed game.

With no injuries or suspensions, both teams will have their full rosters available for an exciting showdown.

We recommend that you back Middlesbrough in a Draw No Bet wager. The risks are still quite minimal due to the market, but there’s still plenty of betting value to make the wager worthwhile.
