Preston vs Leeds Betting Tips & Predictions

Preston and Leeds come into this game in 11th and 12th place respectively and set for solid mid-table finishes. Preston would have been delighted with that at the start of the season when they were expected to struggle having progressed from the League One play-offs last season. However they’ve surprised many with how well they’ve coped with the 2nd tier and their 2-1 win at Reading last weekend ensured they will finish in the top half. It also brought to an end a 5 match winless streak so they will come here hoping to give their home fans a good send-off.

Leeds meanwhile have found some form in recent weeks, racking up 3 wins on the spin in April to move themselves into mid-table and put some gloss on another otherwise uninspiring season. However a 2-1 home defeat to already relegated Charlton last weekend demonstrated there are still plenty of issues that need addressing in this side and there are still some who question whether Steve Evans is really the right man to end their long absence from the top flight.

This game is likely to be quite low-key with little at stake but both managers will want the win to send their fans home happy on the final day. Goals at both ends look likely. Both teams have scored in 7 of Preston’s last 9 matches in 9 of the last 10 games involving Leeds including all of the last 5 so they seem to have opened up their style a bit in recent months and they are a better watch as a result. Therefore goals seem likely here and backing both teams to score at 17/20 looks a solid bet.
