Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Concentration will be required as Preston and Burnley go head-to-head, with almost nothing between the players in terms of who could claim victory. The stats do not give us any proper confidence in that regard, but they are pointing strongly towards there being 2 goals or fewer in the match. It's a prediction which is available at best priced odds of 1.50 with the bookies, so we make under 2.5 goals our tip of the day for this tie.
