Preston North End - Stoke City betting tips and odds

Though Preston North End are the favourites between these two teams, this is a fairly balanced matchup. All three possible outcomes of a Result bet are quite possible, which at least means we may get to see an exciting game.

While Stoke City may manage to claw their way to a win yet, it will be quite a struggle. As we can see thanks to the 3.30 betting odds for an away win, the odds are stacked against them – though it’s still manageable.

The Lilywhites went into their previous Championship match on the back foot, yet managed to get a draw half-time result in spite of the home-field disadvantage. Their opponents, Bristol City , scored the deciding goal in the second half, resulting in a narrow 2:1 defeat in hte end.

The Potters displayed admirable form the last time we saw them in a Championship match. They were ahead at half-time and won the game decisively (3:1), even though their opponents Sheffield United were tagged as hard favourites before kick-off.

Preston North End have a track record of home games ending with a relatively small number of goals. Specifically, their previous 5 Championship home games ended with two goals or fewer in total.

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.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

Though a Home Win seems like a sure bet here, we would advise securing it additionally with a Draw No Bet. The Lilywhites have been known to lack consistency at times, so removing the possibility of a draw is well worth reducing the odds to 1.57.
