Preston North End vs Birmingham City: Top Free Betting Tips

A 73rd-minute strike from Emil Riis Jakobsen allowed Preston North End to Coventry Conventry City. The Lilywhites will want a similar result against Birmingham City, who suffered at the hands of Norwich City in their last Championship outing.

Preston North End to Win

With just one win from the entirety of the 2022/23 campaign, it is difficult to back Birmingham City in this meeting. Preston will be confident in their approach after ending their own four-match winless streak, comprising of three draws and a defeat. It is the hosts who have the upper hand in recent duels, two wins to one, and should add to their tally in front of a roaring Deepdale crowd.

Under 2.5 Goals

Neither Preston nor Birmingham can be relied upon to hit the back of the net with regularity. The hosts have only scored twice in their last five outings while the tally for the Blues is the same. With both sides struggling for scoring efficiency, we expect a low-scoring conclusion to this Round 8 meeting.

Both Teams to Score: No

Goal scoring has been tough for both sides. Add to the mix that Preston has not conceded once in their last five outings and the hopes of seeing goals at both ends of Deepdale becoming more minute.

Preston North End vs Birmingham City: Team News and Match Preview

Preston North End

As it stands, Preston are the only Championship side yet to pick the ball out of their own net. Ryan Lowe would have been pleased with the statistic had their scoring output been better. With just two goals scored in the process, the manager will be aware that they are setting themselves up to fail at a later juncture.

Birmingham City

Birmingham's goal tally is twice of their rivals but they have conceded 8 more goals. This is the main reason for the six-point gap and 12 places between them. The Blues' form has seen them pick just one win this season while four defeats and two draws have dampened the mood at St Andrew's.
