Plymouth Argyle - Preston North End predictions

Plymouth Argyle 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.

Out of their home field and heading into this match as underdogs, The Lilywhites would need to play their best to have a hope of winning. That said, even a draw would be a positive outcome, and all three results are quite possible.

An away win from the last Championship round would have been a proper surprise for Plymouth Argyle supporters. Despite the unfavourable betting odds (4.33) Plymouth Argyle were leading the way by the halftime mark. However, they let a potentially big win split through their fingers having to settle for a Blackburn Rovers draw.

The last time The Lilywhites played a Championship match, it was a home game and an unfavourable matchup against Stoke City. Their fans were hoping for a draw result after the undecided first half, but the game ultimately ended in a 1:2 defeat.

Plymouth Argyle’s fans are rather disappointed with what they’ve seen from their defence in recent home games. The previous three matches saw them concede 7 times, which is not a great look.

While some teams tend to struggle as visitors, Preston North End seem to thrive. A quick look at their recent records shows more than 5 total goals in the last 3 away games, indicating rather prolific strikers and a solid goal-scoring form.

This is the second time these two teams will clash as part of the current Championship season. Preston won the first time around, though it was a rather close victory and most bookies are expecting this match to end differently.

Betting on a Double Chance for Away or Draw is almost sure to see success here. The returns may be limited, as you might expect, but the 1.55 odds on William Hill are attractive enough to make the bet worth the effort.
