Stoke vs Preston: Top Free Betting Tips

On the back of a losing streak, Preston North End travel to Stoke City for the next league engagement on Monday, 2 January. The Potters come into this game after ending their undefeated pattern against the table leaders Burnley.

Both Teams to Score Prediction: Yes

Stoke City had a scoring string before the last game by hitting the target in consecutive four attempts. The Potters have also been on the score sheet in four of the last five duels at home. On the other hand, Preston also missed the target only once in the previous seven away games in the league. The team will also be prepared following the hosts’ poor defence that didn’t keep a single clean sheet in the recent five games. Two of the last three H2Hs of these two teams have ended with BTTS patterns and the same is expected for this game.

Total Goals Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals

The recent H2Hs of these teams have not featured the trend of high-scoring totals but we believe to witness a change of trend in this game. Stoke City didn’t score in the last game but they have a total of eight goals in the duration of the recent five league attempts. Preston North End have also rattled the net nine times in the last five league outings away from home. Both teams have also conceded goals successively in their home and away attempts respectively.

Correct Score Prediction: 1-2 to Preston

Preston North End have rattled the net eight times in the last four away outings and scored more than once in three of them. The Lilywhites have also scored two goals per game in three of the previous four visiting H2Hs against Stoke City, allowing only one. On the contrary, the Potters have scored at least twice in only two of the last five league outings at home. So we expect that the Invincibles will be able to limit the hosts and take a 1-2 victory in the end.
