Preston vs Cardiff: Top Free Betting Tips

After dropping points with back-to-back draws, Preston North End are set to face Cardiff City in the next attempt on Saturday, 11 March. The Bluebirds will be aiming to start where they left off with a home victory against Bristol City.

Match Result Prediction: Draw

Preston North End have secured an undefeated pattern in recent attempts but they have won only one of the last five duels. On the other hand, Cardiff City has won three of the last four outings in the league. However, the Bluebirds have struggled in the away outings where they suffered four defeats in the last five visits. All of the last three H2Hs of these teams have also ended without a winner. Given the current situation, we can anticipate the teams to share the points once again in this game.

Both Teams to Score Prediction: Yes

The Lilywhites’ attacking line has been in trouble recently but they have managed to score in three of the last four hosting duels. But the defensive record doesn’t favour them as they have kept only one clean sheet in the recent five home games. In opposition, Cardiff City has also missed the target only once in the last five attempts in the second division. The teams have concluded two of the last three meetings at Preston’s home with BTTS patterns and we expect them to display the same in this game.

Correct Score Prediction: 1-1 Draw

Cardiff City has scored more than once in only one of the last four away attempts while allowing goals with an average of one goal per game. On the contrary, Preston North End have hit the target four times in the recent four home games. Cardiff City has scored multiple goals in recent meetings at Preston’s home but the hosts have earned a strong defensive pattern. The Lilywhites kept three clean sheets in the last five outings and conceded only two goals in that duration. Based on these numbers, we expect a low-scoring pattern with a 1-1 equation at the end of this game.
