Preston vs Blackburn Rovers Predictions

• Preston’s last four outings have seen both teams net
• Both teams have scored in six of Blackburn’s seven games this season
• The Lilywhites have netted in five successive outings

Preston’s form on the mend

After a dour start to the season, Preston are finally looking up the campaign, with manager Paul Heckingbottom losing only one of his five games since taking the reins.

That run of form includes back-to-back 1-1 draws against Middlesbrough and Fulham, with the latter of those results ending in a penalty shoot out victory for the Lilywhites to progress in the Carabao Cup.

Indeed, their last three games have seen both teams score, but they have netted in each fixture since Heckingbottom moved to Deepdale, a statistic you would expect them to continue here.

Blackburn searching for defensive improvements

Visitors Blackburn are another team who know where the back of the net is, scoring a joint-league high of 12 goals ahead of this fixture.

Three of those came in their last outing, a 3-0 victory over Bristol City, which was also a first clean sheet in seven attempts this season.

The other six fixtures have all seen both teams score, including three in a row on the road, such as stalemates against Norwich (2-2) and Burnley (1-1) in the Championship.

I predict that both teams will score in this match, with 1-1 my correct score prediction.
