Preston North End vs Middlesbrough Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Daniel Ngulu | in Championship Predictions
Preston look to continue with their recent rise when they welcome Middlesbrough to Deepdale for their next Championship game. Middlesbrough arrive for this match placed fifth, while their hosts are 16th. Below we have a prediction for this matchday 29 action. The hosts have picked up well and come into this game undefeated in four matches. Being eight points above the drop zone Preston still have a lot to play for. They are coming off a dominant 2-1 away win at Watford, and have only lost once in seven matches ahead of this. There’s a lot to improve on, especially in defence, having kept two clean sheets in nine matches.
Middlesbrough are also coming off a win. Their 2-0 victory at home to West Bromwich Albion didn’t just end a three-match winless run, it also served a rare clean sheet. The visitors have managed just four clean sheets in the last 18 matches. Like Preston, they have a lot to improve on in defence. Meanwhile, Michael Carrick’s men will have their attack to look back to for motivation. They rarely fail to score and ahead of this game that happened just four times in 19 matches. That form should push them to want to improve on their one win in five away matches.
