Watford to Win

Reason for tip

Watford look well placed to take advantage of defensive issues at Deepdale. Preston North End have failed to keep a clean sheet in four of their last five Championship games and have conceded in nine of their last 11 at home. Only three points separate the sides despite Preston sitting higher, and Watford’s greater consistency in tight games could prove decisive in what should be a competitive encounter.

Watford 2-0

Reason for tip

Preston’s recent matches have tended to be controlled rather than chaotic, with four of their last six staying under 2.5 goals. If Watford take the lead, this could become a disciplined away display. The hosts’ defensive record at home suggests chances will come, and with fine margins common in games between evenly matched sides, a focused 2-0 away win fits the trends.

Watford can strike at leaky Preston

Watford are the bet away at Preston on Saturday. Charlie Daniels’ side travel to Deepdale to face Paul Heckingbottom’s team and can get the win.

Preston are fifth places above Watford in the table, but just three points separate the two sides. Both teams have won more games than they’ve lost this season, with Preston seventh having won 12 and lost eight, while Watford are 12th with 11 wins and nine defeats.

The hosts have been vulnerable defensively. Preston have failed to keep a clean sheet in four of their last five Championship games and have conceded in nine of their last 11 home matches.

Four of Preston’s last six Championship games have stayed under 2.5 goals, and a 2-0 win for Watford looks the best correct-score option.
