Preston vs Charlton Predictions

• Preston have won their last five meetings with Charlton.
• Three of the last five meetings have finished 2-1 to Preston.
• Charlton have scored exactly one goal in their last four away matches, and no more than that in any away fixture this term.

Whites can escape draw malaise

Preston North End start this round of Championship matches in seventh spot, but things could have looked even rosier if they had managed to turn more of their recent results into victories.

Paul Heckingbottom’s men have lost just once in the league this season, but three draws from their last four matches have held them back from challenging further up the standings so far.

That could quickly change, though, and our prediction of a home win this weekend could help the Whites’ cause as they look to strengthen their promotion claims.

Tuesday’s 2-2 draw at Hull wasn’t the worst result, but they have had plenty of joy against Saturday’s opponents Charlton, and we predict three points for the Lancashire side.

Preston have won each of their last five meetings with the Addicks, who have found goals on the road hard to come by this term.

The south Londoners have scored exactly one in each of their last four away trips, but they haven’t scored more once away from home this term and that could hold them back once again this weekend.

Three of the last five meetings have yielded 2-1 wins for Preston and that looks a solid option for those favouring a correct-score wager in this match.
