Preston vs Bristol City Prediction & Betting Tips (13 January)

Preston currently find themselves on an 11-game winless run at the top table of the Championship, and five of their last nine encounters have ended in defeat. The contrast with Bristol City could not be much more striking, so all the signs point in one direction.

Under 3.5 goals has been the order of the day in 16 of the previous 18 Preston home games in the league, with a defeat at the hands of Bristol City included in this sequence. Speaking of the visitors, 16 of their last 21 away matches have also served up no more than three goals, so it would come as a surprise to see anything different when the two sides go head-to-head.

Over the course of their last 15 Championship matches, Bristol City have been involved in just a couple of contests in which both teams have found the net, so this is a pretty unusual occurrence. Not only that, but at least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from eight of the previous 12 top-flight fixtures involving Preston.
