Preston North End vs Blackburn Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Kennedy Kechula | in Championship Predictions
Preston North End will hope returning home for Round 44 of the English Championship allows them to get back to winning ways when they host Blackburn Rovers on Saturday. Preston have lost their last two matches and come to this match in 11th place, trailing Blackburn in sixth by two points. The race to secure the last two remaining slots for the promotion playoffs looks like it will go to the wire with nine teams realistically in with a chance with three matches left to play. Preston, one of those nine, have put themselves in a pickle in recent outings and now have to win here to remain in this race. If they lose they will essentially be out of it, especially if the other teams above them win. After winning three straight matches and placing themselves in the driving seat for a playoff berth for the first time since their return to the division back in the 2015/16 season, Ryan Lowe’s charges have lost their last two matches, both away to Millwall and Swansea. They have conceded six goals in this dip, with Swansea accounting for four of those in the 4-2 outcome last time out. The Invincibles will breathe a sigh of relief returning home for this match as in front of home support they are unbeaten in their last six matches and have won the last three. They thumped Blackburn 4-1 earlier in the season and could give everything for a similar performance on Saturday.
Blackburn Rovers have also struggled to assert themselves in recent matches and come to this fixture without a win in their last six outings. They have drawn their last three matches after losing three straight. This has weakened their position in the top six as they are just one point above their immediate challengers. Qualification for the playoffs is however still very much in their hands as they just have to win their remaining matches. Winning at Preston will be a tough ask for Jon Dahl Tomasson’s charges considering their recent away form but they will be optimistic about a win, having done so on numerous occasions. Blackburn have ended up victorious in their last two visits to Preston and in both matches, they have been emphatic winners with the last outing seeing them score four in a 4-1 win.
