Preston North End vs Plymouth Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Prediction published on 14/09/2023, 10:03  by Sridhar in Championship Predictions

High-flying Championship leaders Preston North End will hope to continue their good start as they host Plymouth Argyle this week. This match will be played at the Deepdale this Saturday with the hosts top of the table with 13 points and the visitors 10th with seven points. Preston are one point ahead of their nearest challenger at the top while Plymouth are three points behind top-six. Preston have been impressing left, right and centre in this season. They started with a 1-1 draw against Bristol before going on a four-game winning spree. That included two wins with 1-0 score and two with a 2-1 score. In fact, their backline has conceded just three goals so far which is the joint-best defensive record. Two of those goals have been conceded at home with Preston winning both their league matches with a 2-1 score.

Plymouth went to the break on the high of a 3-0 win over Blackburn, and would have wanted the break to arrive a little later. That victory halted their three-game winless streak where they drew one and lost two games. They have also been impressive with their defensive record having conceded just five goals so far. Yet, it is the away form that remains a concern as Plymouth are yet to win on the road in the Championship this season. They have drawn 0-0 against Watford and lost 2-1 at Birmingham so far, and will be desperate to notch up their first away win of the campaign.
