Preston vs Blackburn: Top Free Betting Tips

Looking forward to continuing their home-winning streak, Preston North End take on Blackburn Rovers in the next fixture on Saturday, 22 April. The Lilywhites lost the successive away games before this fixture while the Rovers ended three matches in draws.

Match Result Prediction: Preston to Win

Preston North End faced consecutive setbacks coming into this game but they have excelled at Deepdale Stadium. The Lilywhites have gone undefeated in the previous six home games and recorded four victories. On the other hand, Blackburn are winless in six consecutive games and faced three defeats. The Rovers have also lost three of the previous four matches away from Ewood Park. Preston has won three of the last five home meetings against Blackburn and we expect another one for them on Saturday.

Both Teams to Score Prediction: Yes

Despite going winless in the recent consecutive road trips, Blackburn Rovers have managed to score in four of the last five matches. But the Riversiders have been unable to claim a clean sheet in that duration. On the other hand, Preston North End have also rattled the net in four of the previous five games at Deepdale Stadium. Four of the previous five meetings of these teams at Preston’s home have also ended with both teams scoring. Following these stats, we believe to see a BTTS outcome in this game.

Correct Score Prediction: 2-1 to Preston

Blackburn scored five goals in the last four games away from Ewood Park while allowing nine at the back. On the other hand, Preston has found the back of the net more than once in four of the last five matches at Deepdale Stadium. The Lilywhites have leaked only one goal per game in three matches in the aforementioned period, keeping two clean sheets. In the H2Hs, the Riversiders have been limited to one goal in three of the last four meetings with Preston. Hence, we predict the Invincibles to earn a 2-1 lead at the end of the ninety minutes of this game.
