Leeds United vs Preston North End top free betting tips
Our Leeds United vs Preston North End predictions are below. Leeds United have lost two of their previous five matches while Preston has lost three of their previous five. Can Leeds United earn all three points to keep the pressure on the other sides fighting for automatic promotion?
Leeds United have won their previous three matches all by three goals to nil but did lose two matches in a row previous to that, a 1-0 loss to West Brom and a 2-1 loss to Preston in the reverse fixture on Boxing Day. Ryan Lowe's Preston side has been such a hard team to call all season, the Lillywhites started the season in excellent form but have hit multiple bad spells and are currently going through one now, winning just two of their previous seven matches, losing the remaining five.
Correct outcome prediction: Leeds United to Win
Our first Leeds United vs Preston North End prediction is for Leeds United to continue this good run of form by making it four wins in a row. Preston won the reverse fixture but Leeds' away form has been stuck all season whereas their form at Elland Road has been exceptional. Leeds are the only team in the Championship yet to lose a home match all season.
Total goals prediction: Over 2.5 Goals
Our second Leeds United vs Preston North End prediction is for the total number of goals in this fixture to exceed 2.5. Leeds are averaging almost 2.5 home goals scored per match this season and just under one goal conceded per home match with Preston averaging almost two goals conceded per match this season.
Correct score prediction: 3-1 to Leeds United
For our final Leeds United vs Preston North End prediction, we have, as usual, gone with a correct score prediction. Leeds United should have a fairly comfortable ninety minutes in front of their home fans in this match against Preston. The Lillywhites are a good team but this Leeds side, whose squad on paper is too good for the Championship is a team who are way too good for most sides when playing at Elland Road.
