Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Concentration will be required as Preston and Wrexham go head-to-head, with almost nothing between the teams in terms of who might win. The statistics do not supply any proper confidence in that regard, but they are pointing strongly towards there being 2 goals or fewer in the game. That prediction is available at best priced odds of 1.57 with the bookies, so we make under 2.5 goals our tip of the day on this one.
