Preston vs Cardiff Betting Tips

Preston started the season very cautiously but have been a bit more positive of late, although they are still struggling for results. Both teams have scored in all of their last 6 fixtures and Cardiff will come here looking for 3 points given the hosts are down in 23rd place so we should see a reasonably open game.

There have been goals at both ends in each of Cardiff’s last 3 games too, a 2-1 win at home to Charlton either side of a defeat at Rotherham and a 1-1 draw at leaders Brighton last time out.

They were the first side to walk away from Brighton with a result so that should have sent them into the international break with a bit of confidence and they are only 2 points below the 4 sides in the play-off places so they’ll have all the incentive they need to win this one and potentially move into the top 6.

They are usually quite positive on the road and both teams have scored in all of their 5 away fixtures so far this season and given Preston are also playing more open football now, there is surely value at 5/6 in backing there to be goals at both ends in this one.

Trying to decipher who the more likely winner is, is a more difficult task. Preston haven’t won yet at Deepdale in the Championship although they’ve had plenty of tough games with Derby, Middlesbrough and Ipswich among their visitors, 3 sides expected to do well.

They have drawn 3 times at home though and their 2 defeats were both by just a single goal so Cardiff will have to be at their best to win this. The Welsh club have drawn 3 of their 5 away games so far and this clash has all the makings of a draw so consider backing it to finish 1-1 at 5/1.
