Best Tip: M'Boro to win

As training goes on this week and the M'Boro players ready themselves for this clash, the bookies have predicted a victory for them. The odds and our pre-match statistics below suggest the same, as does the historical head-to-head (H2H) information we use in our predictive algorithms. The Riverside Stadium has not been a successful away day for Preston in the past, and we we'd back more of the same on Saturday afternoon. A win / draw / win home win is the way to go.
