Preston vs Hull City Predictions

• Preston won just seven of 23 home games last season
• Hull have lost once in their last 15 matches

Hull to spring surprise on return

Hull are returning to the Championship as League One winners and they should show their progress with a positive result at Deepdale this weekend.

Preston are set for a tough season under Frankie McAvoy, despite him winning his final four matches last term. The pressure was off in those wins, with Preston’s return of just seven wins in 23 at home showing their wider issues over the course of the season.

Goals have always been tough for Preston and adding Izzy Brown is unlikely to turn things around. That he’s their only attacking addition is a real worry for their survival hopes.

Hull bounced back with a brilliant season last term and they look really well balanced coming into this game. They’ve worked the loan market well with four new additions and they’ve made free signings to shore up their squad.  They’ve lost once in their last 15 matches and we’re backing the Tigers double chance here.

Preston’s last five opening day league matches have all ended 1-0, winning two and losing three, so we’re backing the Tigers to edge this one.
