Preston North End - Plymouth Argyle predictions

The online bookies marked Preston North End as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Plymouth Argyle winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

Plymouth Argyle appear severely unprepared for a clash with Preston, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 4.47 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

It’s hard to judge Preston North End’s form based on their most recent performance at Hull City . Even though they suffered a narrow 2:1 loss, the opposing team was favoured with odds of 2.00 and home-field advantage.

With a home win priced at 1.82, not many Plymouth Argyle supporters had much hope of them winning the home game they played last week. However, they took their opponents by surprise, scored early, and proceeded to record an HT/FT victory with a decisive goal difference.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, Preston North End’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

This match might present a rare opportunity to go for an Over 4.5 Goals bet. Plymouth Argyle have netted 6 goals in each of their previous 3 games – which is quite a track record.

The home team had several opportunities to beat Plymouth Argyle 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.

Saturday's matchup will see both teams at full strength, free of injuries and suspensions.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 2.01 odds offered at Pncl.
