The FA Cup Fifth-round returns to Deepdale this weekend with two of Lancashire’s finest set to meet up. Preston North End host Burnley just a couple of weeks on from their second league encounter of the season. Will the Lilywhites and Clarets give us yet another low-scoring, tight contest, or will the lure of a place in the last eight of the FA Cup see our match prediction favour a winner?
Coming into this game, Preston lie 15th in the Championship table (42 pts from 34 games), while Burnley occupy third (68 points from 34 games). Both league matches between the two this season finished in 0-0 draws.
Preston reached the fifth round after beating Wycombe on penalties after a 0-0 draw at Deepdale. They had another home game in the fourth round against League One opposition, beating Charlton 2-1. However, they have won one of their next four games and last weekend were beaten 2-1 away to Coventry City in the league.
Burnley’s season has been built on a record-breaking defensive effort, with just nine goals conceded in the league and 12 in all competitions. They beat Southampton 1-0 away from home in the third round and then followed that up with another away win, 3-1 at Reading in the fourth.
Their unbeaten run now stretches to 23 games in all competitions and the Clarets have conceded just four goals in that run of matches.

Our Preston North End vs Burnley Prediction
Our prediction for the Preston North End vs. Burnley FA Cup match is: Burnley to win and BTTS - No.
Two things stand out in this fixture. One just how few goals Burnley concede (12 in all competitions this season) and the fact both games between the two in the league finished 0-0. However, a draw won't be enough to progress into the quarter-finals here. The data suggests a very close game once again, but with a spot in the last eight on the line, we predict Burnley will do just enough to win.
