Stoke vs Preston Prediction
Stoke Form
Stoke have been a little inconsistent recently, as they beat Watford by 1-0. Following that up proved too difficult, as they lost 1-0 against Millwall, before claiming three points in a 6-1 win against Rotherham. Stoke claimed a modest two wins in their past six home matches in the Championship. They also drew zero and lost four, scored seven goals and conceded seven.
Retaining their Championship status and challenging for a top half finish will be on the agenda for Preston this season.
Preston Form
In their last three matches, Preston first beat Sunderland 2-1, then Sheffield Wednesday by 0-1 and finally Swansea by 2-1. Preston claimed two wins against one draw and three defeats in their last six away matches in the Championship. The scoreline from these matches reads 11 goals conceded and seven scored.
While safety is the foremost priority for Preston, a top half finish is the ultimate dream for this term.
Stoke and Preston are mostly leaning towards matches shy on goals, as it seems that not conceding is more important than attempting to score. This indicates a close encounter is on the menu this coming Saturday.
