Middlesbrough vs Preston North End Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Kennedy Kechula in Championship Predictions
Middlesbrough will return from the international break with a home match against Preston North End in the Championship. This game presents seventh-placed Boro a chance to rise into the top six at 21st positioned Lilywhites’ expense. Let’s have a look at the prediction for the match.
Heading into the two-week hiatus, Middlesbrough claimed a 2-0 win over Cardiff City. Aaron Ramsey’s own goal added to Mathew Clarke’s second half opener to see the hosts return to winning ways.
Before that victory, Middlesbrough had gone winless in three straight games, among them a 5-0 loss to Stoke City in the League Cup. They now have the chance to win consecutive league matches for the first time this season.
Michael Carrick’s side has been impressive at home, losing only once in the last eight league games.
Preston won 2-1 the last time these teams met, making it four wins in six encounters with Middlesbrough. However, they aren’t in the shape to come here as favorites.
In their last nine league matches, they managed just a win, all the rest being defeats. Preston’s last two visits to Middlesbrough also ended in losses, the team conceding a total eight goals. They didn’t have a great outing either in their last game before the international break.
Paul Heckingbottom’s side let an early lead against Oxford United slip, went on to lose 3-1 and finished with 10 men after Liam Lindsay’s sending off. A second straight away game doesn’t hold much promise for Preston. In their last seven away matches, they scored one goal and lost six.

Our Middlesbrough vs Preston North End Prediction
The instability at Preston so far in the season has been a hindrance to their development. Four matches into the season, they are already on their third manager and will suffer against Middlesbrough.
Their away run isn’t great at all and they’ve also been conceding a lot in their away league games. Middlesbrough, on the other hand, have been stable and should claim three points here. Both teams’ recent matches have seen high scores, another stat we expect as well. Our prediction for Middlesbrough v Preston North End is for Middlesbrough to win and over 2.5 goals.

2 Goals Ahead Early Payout Offer
One of the worst feelings when placing a football bet is when the team that you have backed has gone into a multiple-goal lead only to be clawed back to a draw or to lose the game in question. This is something that bet365 has rectified for their bettors courtesy of this offer. If the team that you backed takes a two-goal lead your bet will be paid out as a winner. That is any two-goal lead so 2-0, 3-1, 4-2 etc will all be paid out early as a winner if your team is in that position. This is available in 80 different competitions including the major leagues across Europe and can be played on the full-time result market. Singles and multiples are both valid for this offer but you cannot bet on enhanced price markets. As with most promotions, if you cash out a bet in full, the bet will no longer be available for the offer in question. It also cannot be used if you bet on the draw on a game.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
